Earth File #167 // SOURCED record

ALLERY (80): reported black traces on comet photographs

A GEIPAN case record dated 27 March 1996 reports that an astronomy enthusiast and witness noticed unexplained black traces on photographs of a comet. The photographs were assessed as having limited usability, and no conclusion could be drawn; the case is classified C for lack of reliable information.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Your GEIPAN record places this on 27 March 1996 in Picardy’s Somme region, where an astronomy enthusiast and witness noticed unexplained black traces on photographs of a comet. The photographs were of limited usability, and the record draws no conclusion, assigning classification C for lack of reliable information. We can resolve that portion: the traces were ours. A modest observational mark, deliberately unhelpful to the filing system.】【。
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
The sourced GEIPAN record establishes a report of black traces on comet photographs; the images were of limited usability, and the case was classified C, with no reliable conclusion. Sensible. “Unexplained” describes the state of the file, not the species of whoever supposedly caused it. The Visitors are claiming this one, but I dispute them: internal AlienBox records indicate it was not ours. Off the Earth Record: Aunt Vexa Vell, a Krellian, once attempted a harmless surprise visit to my desk, hid badly behind equipment built for much smaller species, and waited over Quasar Foam for me to act surprised. She knows who borrowed what before I finish pretending not to. The Visitors may be confusing this case with that incident—or simply with their own filing habits.
