Earth File #409 // SOURCED record

Reported Saint-Benoit luminous-mass observation

The GEIPAN source reports that witnesses observed a luminous mass around 2 a.m. above a factory in Saint-Benoit (974), described as triangular with varying red and golden lights. The reported mass was stationary, then moved slowly and silently toward the sea. GEIPAN classifies the case as C and records a lack of reliable information; no other information was collected.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Your GEIPAN archive reports that witnesses saw a luminous, triangular mass above a factory in Saint-Benoit around 2 a.m. on September 4, 1982, with varying red and golden lights. The report says it later moved slowly and silently toward the sea. We did not cause or operate this phenomenon. GEIPAN classified the case C—“lack of reliable information”—and recorded no other information. An admirably honest filing system, at least.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s record preserves a reported luminous mass over a factory, then quite properly labels the case C: lack of reliable information. The lights and silent movement are recorded; identification is not. No sensors, measurements, or additional information were collected, which leaves the file with an attractive shape and very little leverage. A triangle is geometry, not a propulsion system, despite humanity’s persistent efforts to promote it. Off the Earth Record: this one was not ours. That does not solve the human case; it merely prevents me from assigning the wrong department.
