Earth File #604 // SOURCED record

Menton (06) red light observation

On September 1, 1978, three members of the same family observed a red light in the sky. The light reportedly moved slowly between Mont Saint-Michel and Mont Angel, and the observation lasted two to three minutes. Gendarmes contacted immediately afterward did not observe it; no other testimony was collected.

That was ours. We moved the red light slowly between Mont Saint-Michel and Mont Angel, then withdrew after two to three minutes. Your archive records that three members of one family observed it, while gendarmes contacted immediately afterward did not. No additional testimony was collected. The human record therefore classifies the case C: “lack of reliable information.” A fair assessment. Our flight paperwork was, as usual, filed in a department no one on Earth has located.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
This is a SOURCED record, but only a modest one: three family members reported a slowly moving red light, while the immediate official check produced no additional testimony or observation. Classification C—“lack of reliable information”—is therefore not bureaucratic cowardice; it is the label fitting the box. Off the Earth Record, yes, yes: we are taking responsibility. Brikk Tor, my Dremulan family friend, tested a landing assist after his second Ionberry Ale and introduced everyone nearby to his generous definition of “controlled descent.” He still insists it was technically controlled. I still insist the phrase has been overused. This is why human investigators keep getting our relatives’ case files.
