La Bazoge luminous spherical object observation — 14 January 1977
A sourced GEIPAN record states that two people observed a spherical luminous object at around 6:40 p.m. The object reportedly moved first from south to north and then from east to west. A sourced attributed account states that gendarmes observed a slow-moving circular luminous object in a westerly direction, larger in apparent diameter than a star, and that it remained visible until 9:30 p.m. No other testimony was collected; the case is classified C and listed as lacking reliable information.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
The La Bazoge luminous sphere was ours. On 14 January 1977, two people observed it at approximately 6:40 p.m.; the Earth Record reports movement first south to north, then east to west. The record also attributes to gendarmes an observation of a slow, circular light in a westerly direction, reportedly visible until 9:30 p.m. GEIPAN classified the case C for lack of reliable information. Fair. Our paperwork was worse.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A luminous sphere, changing direction and reportedly remaining visible for hours: interesting enough to file, not enough to solve. The GEIPAN record is SOURCED, but its own conclusion is Class C—“lack of reliable information”—with no additional testimony. Quite right. A shape and a duration are not a vehicle identification certificate, however much the paperwork yearns for one.
Off the Earth Record: yes, yes, you finally noticed us. The Visitors are taking responsibility for this one, though I recommend keeping that separate from the human file. Otherwise someone at Gorkon Outpost will classify it as corroboration, and I will spend another decade explaining the difference between an admission and evidence.

Why Fred Thinks This Case Matters
AlienBox comparative analysis from structured Earth Record fields // not a new source // not a change in evidence grade
Fred keeps this file near the top of the pile because the source also supplies a published resolution to compare against the original report. That combination makes the case useful for cross-archive comparison without changing its evidence grade.
The source record includes a published resolution field. AlienBox treats it as an attributed source assessment to compare with the original report, not as an AlienBox verdict.
What strengthens the record
1 linked source document provide provenance for the Earth Record.
7 claim citations tie extracted statements back to source excerpts or locators.
Recorded evidence context: Witness Testimony, Official GEIPAN Case Record, and Absence Of Additional Testimony.
The source record includes a published resolution: Case classified C; phenomenon type listed as lack of reliable information..
What limits the record
No sensor type is recorded in the structured Earth Record.
The structured record does not establish multiple independent observers.
The current dossier is anchored to one source network rather than independent source networks.
What would help resolve it
Can the originating record establish an exact number of observers and whether their observations were independent?
Did any radar, infrared, optical, telemetry, or other instrument record the event, and is that material preserved?
Can the source establish a usable duration for the observation rather than only a date or narrative sequence?
Fred Says Go Here Next
Internal research paths chosen from this dossier's structured fields. Similarity is navigation, not corroboration.
“The gendarmes observed, in a westerly direction, the slow movement of a luminous object with a circular shape and a diameter larger than that of a star.”
