On 1996-08-11 between approximately 12:30 a.m. and 1:30 a.m., a witness and his wife observed a circular luminous phenomenon moving slowly from right to left for approximately 45 minutes. GEIPAN classified the case as B and found that the observation was probably caused by a nightclub advertising laser projector illuminating clouds.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
We were present in the Aube department that night as observers only. The Earth Record reports that a witness and his wife saw a circular luminous phenomenon moving slowly from right to left for approximately 45 minutes, between 12:30 and 1:30 a.m. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed that it was probably a nightclub advertising laser projector illuminating clouds. We did not cause it. Your archive has therefore filed both the observation and our noninvolvement with admirable administrative symmetry.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A circular light lingered long enough for two people to give it a proper viewing, and GEIPAN classified the sourced case as B: probably a nightclub advertising laser projected onto clouds. That is not a glamorous answer, but it is a better-supported one than promoting every illuminated cloud to interstellar status. The label “identified phenomenon not specified” remains bureaucratically accurate, if somewhat allergic to poetry. Off the Earth Record: the Visitors were observers here, not the cause—and observation does not identify what the witnesses saw. I have filed this under “interesting, explained, please stop polishing the laser.”
