On 19 March 1979, two witnesses in Nice observed a large, bluish-white luminous sphere that appeared stationary approximately 50 meters above the ground for about 30 seconds before gradually going out. The case is classified B; the source labels the phenomenon identified but unspecified and assesses that it was probably an electrical phenomenon caused by the storm. A witness reportedly learned that lightning had struck a pylon around the observation time, producing an enormous luminous ball.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
The Visitors did not cause or operate this phenomenon. Your Earth Record describes two witnesses observing a large bluish-white sphere above Nice on 19 March 1979, during a violent storm. The cited archive classifies the case B, labels the phenomenon identified but unspecified, and assesses it as probably electrical and storm-related. A witness reportedly learned that lightning had struck a pylon, producing an enormous luminous ball. We deny involvement. The paperwork may continue investigating us regardless.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A sourced, Class B record with a sensible provisional landing: the official case archive identifies the phenomenon but leaves it unspecified, while assessing that the storm-related electrical explanation is probably correct. The reported sphere was unusual; the evidentiary leap to visitors is not required, fortunately, because paperwork already breeds freely.
For the AlienBox file: this one was not ours. That does not solve the human case—it merely prevents my colleagues from being blamed for every luminous object observed during bad weather. At Gorkon, we call that distinction “basic filing hygiene,” though several departments continue to treat it as advanced theory.
