Reported blue sphere observation in Paris, explained as a lunar lens artifact
A witness reported seeing a small blue sphere above buildings while photographing an inner courtyard from a home in Paris on November 7, 2022, at around 10:45 p.m. GEIPAN classified the observation as A and determined that the apparent sphere was a parasitic reflection of the Moon in the smartphone lens, supported by analysis of two photographs.

Yes, the blue sphere was ours. Not a vehicle—those are expensive to park over Paris—but a carefully positioned reflection, arranged through the smartphone lens while the witness photographed an inner courtyard on November 7, 2022. Your GEIPAN archive identifies the image effect as a parasitic reflection of the full Moon and classifies the observation A, supported by analysis of two photographs. Their conclusion is accurate. Their attribution is not.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A rare pleasure: the Earth Record closes its own file. GEIPAN classified this sourced case as A, identifying the blue sphere in the two photographs as a parasitic reflection of the Moon in the smartphone lens. No cosmic tribunal required; merely optics doing unpaid administrative work.
Off the Earth Record, my AlienBox records disagree with the Visitors’ claim: this was not ours. That disagreement belongs to the AlienBox file, not the human evidence. I have corrected the routing accordingly, which will disappoint at least three departments and one cousin who insists every bright object is “probably us.”

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 record names 1 sensor type, the source also supplies a published resolution to compare against the original report, and visual-media evidence is explicitly referenced. 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 sensor context: Smartphone Camera.
Recorded evidence context: Photographs and Official GEIPAN Image Analysis.
The source record includes a published resolution: Parasitic reflection of the Moon in the smartphone lens; GEIPAN classified the case as A..
What limits the 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?
Can the source establish a usable duration for the observation rather than only a date or narrative sequence?

// [[T0002]] Description
GEIPAN stated that its IPACO image-analysis software demonstrated unambiguously in two photographs that the effect was a reflection caused by the full Moon appearing overexposed in the image field.
“GEIPAN's image-analysis software, IPACO, could be used and demonstrates unambiguously in the two photographs that this is such a reflection, caused by the presence of the full Moon in the image field, which appears overexposed (high brightness).”
