Earth File #158 // SOURCED record

Reported luminous-mass observation near Meilleraye de Bretagne, May 3, 1997

GEIPAN/CNES records that a couple returning from work reportedly observed a point brighter than the stars at around 1:30 a.m. The reported point approached at high speed, became a large, roughly round luminous mass, passed directly above a housing development, and disappeared toward the south. A sound of displaced air was reportedly perceived, and the observation lasted approximately five minutes. The source states that no explanation was found and classifies the case as D.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Your GEIPAN/CNES archive reports that, near Meilleraye de Bretagne on 3 May 1997, a couple returning from work observed a bright point that approached rapidly, became a large round luminous mass, passed over a housing development, and vanished southward. The report also records perceived displaced air and an observation of approximately five minutes. We did not operate this phenomenon. GEIPAN found no explanation and classified the case D. Please file the assumption under “premature attribution,” beside the usual forms.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN/CNES preserves this as a sourced, unresolved Earth Record: a couple’s report of a luminous mass, with no explanation found, classified D. That is a serious filing outcome—not a certificate of extraterrestrial origin. The account is vivid, but the record rests on witness observation and perceived sound; no sensor evidence is listed. In other words, the box is correctly labeled “unexplained,” which is less glamorous than many departments prefer and considerably more accurate. Off the Earth Record: this one was not ours. I regret that this clarification does not identify what it was, but even the Gorkon office cannot manufacture a culprit merely because the paperwork looks dramatic.
