Earth File #182 // SOURCED record

BILLOM (63) 1997 — reported scintillating luminous point

Witnesses reportedly observed a silent, star-sized luminous point moving very slowly across the sky, with a red halo and scintillation in several colors. The observation reportedly lasted approximately one and a half hours. The source assessed it as probably involving a celestial body's course; GEIPAN classification: B.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Yes, that was ours. A small atmospheric calibration light, deliberately made star-sized and mildly theatrical, crossed the sky in the Auvergne region on 11 September 1997. Your archive reports that witnesses described it as silent, very slow, red-haloed, and scintillating in several colors; it also records an observation lasting approximately one and a half hours. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed it as probably a celestial body’s course. An understandable filing error. The calibration unit has since been reassigned to Gorkon Outpost.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
The Earth Record is sourced through GEIPAN/CNES: a reported slow, scintillating point, assessed as probably a celestial body’s course and classified B. So, yes—yes, you finally noticed us. The classification remains B; our family admission does not revise the human evidence, which establishes a report and an official assessment, not extraterrestrial involvement. Off the Earth Record: Sela Venn, my Velyrian old friend, borrowed my access badge to show younger cousins an observation deck. She forgot that it logs every door—and that I can read. The resulting paperwork blamed “parking-beacon interpretation,” because Sela believes those instructions are written for less experienced pilots. She is not entirely wrong. She is, however, still banned from borrowing credentials.
