Earth File #375 // SOURCED record

Tournus 1984 reported sky observation

Several witnesses in or near Tournus observed bright, star-like objects at night between July 29 and August 2, 1984. The objects reportedly emitted red and green flashes and varied in position over the observation nights. GEIPAN classified the case as B and assessed that the witnesses probably observed the Perseids; the phenomenon type remained listed as “Identified phenomenon not specified.”

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Your archive reports that, between 29 July and 2 August 1984, several witnesses near Tournus saw bright, star-like objects, with reported red and green flashes and noticeably changing positions. GEIPAN classified the case B and assessed that the witnesses probably observed the Perseids, while listing the phenomenon as “Identified phenomenon not specified.” We were present only as observers. We did not cause the lights. The paperwork may continue searching for a culprit; it will not find us responsible.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A sourced GEIPAN/CNES record classifies this as B and assesses that the witnesses probably observed the Perseids. That is a reasonable label for bright, flashing lights near Perseus; “identified phenomenon not specified” is less a conclusion than a filing cabinet left slightly open. The changing positions across several nights are worth retaining, but they do not by themselves upgrade an observation into a vehicle, visitor, or anything else with a registration number. Off the Earth Record: the Visitors were observers here, not the cause. Their presence in the margin does not identify what the witnesses saw. Yes, even our observers occasionally manage to be irrelevant to the main mystery.
