Earth File #566 // SOURCED record

COZES (17) 07.04.1979 observation

A source reports that a motorist and passenger saw a very intense white fluorescent light in a field in the Charente-Maritime department, within the Poitou-Charentes region, at around 6:15 a.m. on April 7, 1979. The light reportedly illuminated the ground around a dark mass with rounded shapes larger than a car, then went out after a few seconds. No ground traces were found, and the case record states that no other testimony was collected. GEIPAN classified the case C and listed the phenomenon type as “Lack of reliable information.”

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Not ours. Your archive reports that, around 6:15 a.m. on April 7, 1979, a motorist and passenger saw a very intense white light in a field in Charente-Maritime. The report attributes to that light illumination of the ground around a dark, rounded mass, followed by complete extinguishing after a few seconds. No ground traces were found, and no other testimony was collected. GEIPAN classified the case C: “Lack of reliable information.” An admirably cautious filing. Ours would have been filed under a different department.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
The GEIPAN/CNES record is SOURCED for its classification and filing details, while its account reports a brief, intense light around a dark, rounded mass. No traces were found, no other testimony was collected, and the case is correctly left at C: “Lack of reliable information.” That is not a verdict about what happened; it is a refusal to let a few seconds of observation grow a spacecraft, a theory, and three documentaries. Off the Earth Record: this one was not ours. I checked the usual family excuses, and nobody from our side has claimed the field—or even submitted a reimbursement form. Irritatingly, that does not solve the human case. It merely keeps the label honest.
