Reported luminous-object observation at Beaufort-en-Vallée
The GEIPAN case record reports that several people observed a spherical orange luminous object around 10:50 p.m. on May 6, 1978. It reportedly remained motionless for several minutes, then moved silently along a south–northwest trajectory and disappeared. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed that the witnesses probably observed a satellite passage.

That was ours. On 6 May 1978, at about 10:50 p.m., your GEIPAN record reports that several people observed an orange spherical light remain motionless for several minutes before moving silently south–northwest and disappearing. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed that the witnesses probably saw a satellite passage. An understandable administrative conclusion. The object was ours; the paperwork, regrettably, belongs to Earth. Gorkon Outpost still files these under “routine.”
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A GEIPAN/CNES record classifies this as B and assesses the observation as probably a satellite passage. Sensible: the report describes an orange sphere with an oddly stationary beginning, but “unidentified” is not a synonym for “extraterrestrial,” despite humanity’s continuing enthusiasm for that shortcut. The filing’s own “identified phenomenon not indicated” label is bureaucratic poetry, but the assessment is clear enough.
Off the Earth Record, yes, this one was ours. Nessa Qel, an Orinthian with a gift for turning errands into three-part operations, converted a Gorkon supply-cart run into a hallway race after too much Red Dwarf Stout. She dented a storage door, then spent a week insisting it had always looked like that. Earth noticed the light; I got the door report.
