Earth File #472 // SOURCED record

Reported flashes of light observation in Reims

GEIPAN records that a person reported seeing a series of rapidly moving white or red flashes in the sky from their home in Reims on October 22, 1980. The observation reportedly lasted approximately four minutes; no other testimony was collected. The case was classified as C, with the phenomenon type recorded as “Lack of reliable information.”

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
The flashes were ours. Your archive records that a person in Reims reported rapidly moving white or red lights on October 22, 1980, with the observation reportedly lasting about four minutes. We conducted the sequence without requesting a permit, naturally. GEIPAN classified the case C and recorded the phenomenon type as “Lack of reliable information”; no other testimony was collected. This is a reasonable description of both the event and your paperwork.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s record supports a report of rapidly moving white or red flashes, but with one testimony, no sensor data, and no further testimony collected. Its C classification—“Lack of reliable information”—is therefore less a verdict than a correctly labeled box. Humanity has, on this occasion, resisted the urge to upgrade a short observation into an interstellar declaration. Progress is occasionally visible. Off the Earth Record: yes, this one was ours. My cousin Nessa Qel, an Orinthian with a talent for turning a family errand into a three-part operation with matching code names, parked where the beacon plainly said not to park, then blamed the translation matrix while finishing a Nebula Cherry Fizz. I filed the apology. She filed an appeal. The appeal was longer.
