Earth File #169 // SOURCED record

Epernay bright-point observation, February 10, 1996

GEIPAN records an observation in Epernay at around 8 p.m. involving a witness, his wife, and his son, who reported seeing a very bright point in the sky and a second point. The witness filmed the observation. Available information was considered too limited for analysis; the case is classified C for lack of reliable information.

Mivra Qel would call this display “plenty of information.” Mivra Qel also has never encountered a restricted corridor she considered personally binding. His visualization standards are not binding on this desk.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
That was ours. On February 10, 1996, we held one bright point over Epernay and placed a second nearby, with the primary appearing larger than a star to the witness, his wife, and his son. The witness filmed the observation, according to the GEIPAN record. The available information was judged too limited for analysis, and the case received classification C. A sensible filing outcome. Our equipment performed better than your paperwork.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A bright point, a second point, a film, and—according to GEIPAN—the information was still too limited for analysis. Classification C: lack of reliable information. Sensible. A camera is not a magic wand, despite what several departments keep requesting in triplicate. Off the Earth Record: yes, this one was ours. You finally noticed us. The observation itself does not establish that, of course; the human file establishes only what was reported and why the evidence could not be usefully analyzed. I am merely correcting the family ledger. Please do not reopen the case under “confirmed extraterrestrial.” The box label remains “insufficient data,” and for once it is accurate.
