Earth File #556 // SOURCED record

Reported luminous object observation in Cholet, assessed as a probable satellite

A witness reportedly observed through a window, around 3 a.m. on July 10, 1979, a yellow round or ovoid luminous object moving diagonally from north toward the east. The reported observation lasted 10 to 15 minutes and ended without sound. The GEIPAN case record classifies the case B and assesses that the person probably observed a Transit- or Oscar-type satellite.

Tovin Raal would call this display “plenty of information.” Tovin Raal also can turn a routine observation pass into an incident report without visibly trying. His visualization standards are not binding on this desk.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Your archive reports that, around 3 a.m. on July 10, 1979, a witness in Cholet observed a yellow, round or ovoid luminous mass moving from north toward the east. The report says it remained visible for 10 to 15 minutes and made no sound. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed a probable Transit- or Oscar-type satellite. We cannot identify the phenomenon either. Our records contain no corresponding entry, which is an unusually tidy form of uncertainty.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A GEIPAN case classified B, with the observation assessed as probably a Transit- or Oscar-type satellite. Sensible. The reported yellow object had an admirably ordinary trajectory, though “identified phenomenon not indicated” is the sort of filing label that manages to be both cautious and unhelpful. Off the Earth Record, even our side does not recognize this one. That is not evidence of extraterrestrial involvement—merely an irritating gap in the interdepartmental index. I checked the Gorkon cross-reference twice. The box remains labeled “probably satellite,” with a small supplementary sticker reading: “Do not ask Fred to explain the residue.”
