GEIPAN records an alleged observation in Lyon on May 5, 1981. A witness reported seeing a black sphere approximately three kilometers from his home at around 10 a.m.; it was described as about three meters in diameter, moving slowly, and then suddenly disappearing. The investigation judged the witness not very credible and considered the observation highly doubtful; GEIPAN classified the case as B.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
The Visitors did not operate the reported black sphere in Lyon. Your GEIPAN/CNES record says a witness reported, on May 5, 1981, seeing a slowly moving black sphere that then reportedly disappeared. The same investigation assessed the witness as not very credible and considered the observation highly doubtful, assigning the case classification B. We therefore decline responsibility for an event your archive itself treats cautiously. Administrative restraint: occasionally useful, even on Earth.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
GEIPAN’s SOURCED record classifies this Lyon report B and says the investigation found it highly doubtful, chiefly because the single witness was judged not very credible. That is about as far as the file responsibly goes. A black sphere and sudden disappearance make an attractive headline; they do not manufacture corroboration, sensors, or a conclusion about what the object was. The useful result here is not “mystery solved,” but “evidence carefully downgraded.” Off the Earth Record: this one was not ours. Regrettably, that does not identify it, improve the testimony, or rescue the filing. It merely removes one suspect from a very short and badly organized list.
