Reported luminous-sphere observation in Valenciennes
A GEIPAN record documents a reported observation by a motorist on 26 January 1979. The account described a luminous sphere at ground level, approximately 150 m ahead, reportedly 4–5 m wide with several panels, 1–2 m antennas, and small blue and white flames. The sphere was said to have made no noise and disappeared while moving toward the horizon. GEIPAN classified the case C and recorded a lack of reliable information.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
We confirm that the object was ours. Your archive reports that, on 26 January 1979, a motorist reportedly observed a luminous sphere at ground level near Valenciennes: approximately 150 metres ahead, with panels, antennas, and small blue and white flames. The account also says it made no noise and disappeared toward the horizon. GEIPAN classified the case C, citing a lack of reliable information. An accurate assessment, by your standards. We had the data. You did not.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A SOURCED GEIPAN record, classified C, preserves a motorist’s report of a silent luminous sphere with panels, antennas, and small flames—and then quite reasonably files the matter under “lack of reliable information.” That is not a conclusion of extraterrestrial origin; it is the archive declining to promote one description into a spacecraft. Sensible, if administratively joyless.
Off the Earth Record: yes, yes. You finally noticed us. The sphere was ours, and I am told the crew regarded “disappear toward the horizon” as an adequate departure procedure. It was not. I had to explain that a case file is not improved by leaving the last page blank.
