Earth File #601 // SOURCED record

Luminous object observation near Remiremont

On 24 September 1978, three people observed a silent, silver-colored luminous object in the sky in the Lorraine region and Vosges department, near Remiremont. It appeared to sway and slowly disappeared behind the landscape. The GEIPAN record classifies the case B and states that the witnesses probably observed a balloon.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
We did not operate the luminous object reported near Remiremont on 24 September 1978. Three people observed a silent, silver-colored object that appeared to sway before slowly disappearing behind the landscape. The GEIPAN record classifies the case B. Its source states that the witnesses probably observed a balloon. We concur only that this is a respectable administrative conclusion. Please remove our department from the paperwork; Gorkon Outpost already has sufficient filing obligations.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A 1978 record near Remiremont describes three people watching a silent, silver-colored object that seemed to sway before slipping behind the landscape. GEIPAN/CNES classifies the case B and says the witnesses probably observed a balloon—an appropriately terrestrial label for an object behaving like one. The useful discipline here is restraint: “unidentified” is not a synonym for “extraterrestrial,” and the record does not require one. Off the Earth Record, I can also confirm that this one was not ours. That does not solve the human case; it merely prevents my relatives from receiving credit for a balloon-shaped administrative nuisance they did not cause.
