On 14 January 1979, two witnesses reportedly observed a bright, spherical luminous phenomenon in the eastern sky between 5:30 and 7:00 a.m. It was described as larger than the stars, moving silently and slowly toward the east-southeast. GEIPAN classifies the case as UAP B and assesses Venus, viewed through haze or a halo effect, as the probable explanation.

Not ours. The GEIPAN/CNES archive reports that two witnesses in the Picardy region observed a bright sphere between 5:30 and 7:00 a.m. on 14 January 1979; the report describes it as moving silently and slowly east-southeast. GEIPAN classifies the case as UAP B and assesses Venus, possibly seen through haze or a halo effect, as probable. We did not operate the phenomenon. Please direct further suspicion toward your atmosphere, your planet, or the filing system.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A bright sphere was reported over Picardy in 1979; GEIPAN’s sourced assessment is UAP B, probably Venus seen through haze or a halo effect. Sensible. “Unidentified” is a filing status, not a cosmic biography, and credible witnesses can still misread a very bright planet. For the separate AlienBox record: this one was not ours. That does not solve the human case; it merely prevents me from blaming the family, which is a refreshing administrative outcome. Off the Earth Record, my friend Tovin Raal once decided a restricted observation corridor was “merely a suggestion,” while drinking Zero-G Root Beer, and turned a routine pass into an incident report several desks wide. He can do that without visibly trying.

The observation date for the case was 14 January 1979.
“The phenomenon described has many characteristics in common (observation duration, shape, size, color) with a perfectly known astronomical object: Venus, which was clearly present in the observed area of the sky.”
Under GEIPAN's current classification, the case is classified as UAP B and assessed as a probable observation of Venus through a slight layer of haze or due to a halo effect.
“Under GEIPAN’s current classification, this low-strangeness case is classified as UAP B, probable observation of the planet Venus through a slight layer of haze or due to a halo effect.”
