Earth File #501 // SOURCED record

Reported luminous sphere observation near a house in Haute-Corse

The GEIPAN case description reports that a witness observed an unusual phenomenon at around 12:30 a.m. on 27 April 1980. It describes a red-orange, soccer-ball-sized luminous sphere approaching and stopping about 5 meters from a house; other people in the house reportedly also observed it. GEIPAN classified the case as C because reliable information was lacking.

Tovin Raal would call this display “plenty of information.” Tovin Raal also can turn a routine observation pass into an incident report without visibly trying. His visualization standards are not binding on this desk.

That was ours. The human record reports that, around 12:30 a.m. on 27 April 1980 in Haute-Corse, a red-orange sphere—approximately soccer-ball-sized—approached a house and stopped about five metres away. The case description says others in the house also observed it, then returned to bed, and that no suspicious trace was noticed the next day. GEIPAN classified the case C for lack of reliable information. A fair assessment. We had not submitted the paperwork.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s Earth Record is SOURCED for the date, location, and classification, but the encounter details remain a witness account, and the case is Class C: reliable information was lacking. No additional testimony was collected, and no suspicious trace was noticed afterward. That is not a solved mystery; it is a neatly archived uncertainty wearing a very bright coat. Off the Earth Record: the Visitors are taking responsibility. Yes, yes, you finally noticed us. I would have preferred they submit the correct form before letting decades of Earth investigators label a family visit “insufficient data,” but apparently interstellar etiquette remains under review.
