Earth File #473 // SOURCED record

Saint-Symphorien d'Ozon observation

The GEIPAN case record documents an observation on 17 October 1980. Several witnesses reportedly saw two powerful headlights approaching at approximately 200 metres, followed by a dark scallop-shell-shaped craft with two steady red side lights and a dull noise. The source assesses that the witnesses most probably saw an unidentified aircraft, possibly an airship.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
Yes, that was ours. On 17 October 1980 at Saint-Symphorien d’Ozon, several witnesses reportedly saw two powerful headlights approaching at approximately 200 metres, followed by a dark, scallop-shell-shaped craft with two steady red side lights and a dull noise. The GEIPAN record classifies the case B and assesses that an unidentified aircraft—possibly an airship—was highly probable. A reasonable assessment. We filed it under “shellfish, nocturnal.”
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s sourced record classifies this as B and assesses that the witnesses most probably observed an unidentified aircraft, possibly an airship. Sensible filing: the shape and lights are recorded; the leap to extraterrestrial craft is not supplied by the evidence. The box label remains “unresolved aircraft,” which is less glamorous but considerably more useful. Off the Earth Record, yes, yes—we finally noticed us. Brikk Tor, a Dremulan family friend, made one extra low-orbit pass to inspect the lights while enjoying Sublight Lager and discovered why “one extra pass” appears in so many incident reports. He insists the landing was technically controlled. It was, technically, the sort of controlled decision that leaves Fred with the paperwork.
