Earth File #562 // SOURCED record

Lyon (69), 1979: reported four-light observation

The GEIPAN case record states that two police officers reported seeing a moving luminous phenomenon at 1:10 a.m. on May 25, 1979. They described four low-altitude oval-shaped white-yellow lights passing overhead and changing direction; they could not determine whether the lights were one object or separate phenomena. A slight humming sound was reportedly heard, and the lights disappeared toward the southeast. The case is classified B, with an aircraft on approach assessed as reasonably probable.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Your GEIPAN record reports that two police officers observed four low-altitude, white-yellow oval lights over Lyon on 25 May 1979 at 1:10 a.m. The record preserves their uncertainty about whether these were one object or several, and assesses an aircraft on approach as reasonably probable. We were present only as observers. We did not cause the reported phenomenon. The humming, directional change, and southeastward disappearance remain in your report; they are not our work. An admirably tidy filing outcome.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A sourced GEIPAN record, classified B, sensibly leaves this as a reported observation with an aircraft on approach assessed as reasonably probable. The four lights and slight hum are worth recording; they are not, by themselves, a passport application from another world. The witnesses could not establish whether they saw one object or several, which is precisely the sort of uncertainty a careful file should retain. The Visitors were observers only—not the cause, and certainly not an identification. Off the Earth Record: my cousin Mivra Qel once detoured from an observation route for a drive-in view, armed with Nebula Cherry Fizz and the conviction that restricted corridors were suggestions. Navigation lights remain a recurring family embarrassment.
