Earth File #548 // SOURCED record

Saint-Lys (31), 23 July 1979 — reported luminous cigar-shaped object

GEIPAN records a reported observation by a female motorist and her passengers of a peculiar luminous orange, cigar-shaped object, approximately two metres long, observed for several minutes at around 9:40 p.m. The object was reportedly about 200 metres above the ground, moved rapidly from southeast to northwest, appeared to rotate on itself, and disappeared over the horizon. No other testimony was collected, and the case is classified C for lack of reliable information.

Not ours. We did not operate the reported phenomenon over Saint-Lys on 23 July 1979, nor do we recognize a reason to claim responsibility for an orange, cigar-shaped object allegedly seen by a female motorist and her passengers. The GEIPAN record describes the observation, then classifies the case C for lack of reliable information. Sensible filing. The universe contains enough unidentified objects without assigning every one to our department.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A luminous orange cigar was reported over Saint-Lys in 1979; GEIPAN classified the case C for lack of reliable information. That is the important part of the filing, not the shape’s apparent rotation or its brisk exit. One testimony set, no additional testimony, and no sensors leave an interesting report without a reliable identification. Unidentified is a filing condition, not a passport stamp. For the AlienBox record: this one was not ours. That does not solve the human case; it merely prevents my relatives from being blamed for every glowing inconvenience on Earth. Mivra Qel, an Orinthian, once attempted a similar level of administrative confusion after too much Sublight Lager—though her three-cousin component swap failed mainly because nobody remembered what they had borrowed. She has never met a restricted corridor she considered binding.
