Reported sphere and beam-of-light observation from Landévant toward Auray
The GEIPAN case record reports that, on 22 May 1978 around 12:15 a.m., a motorist and passengers saw a very bright silvery-white sphere. The witnesses stated that a beam of light from the sphere struck the vehicle at the rear left. No trace was found on the vehicle, no other testimony was collected, and the case is classified C with a listed phenomenon type of "Lack of reliable information."

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
On 22 May 1978, around 12:15 a.m., your GEIPAN record reports that a motorist and passengers saw a very bright, silvery-white sphere while travelling from Landévant toward Auray. The witnesses stated that a beam struck the vehicle’s rear left; the record says no trace was found. We were present only as observers. We did not cause the reported phenomenon, and we do not know what did. GEIPAN classified the case C: “Lack of reliable information.” A pleasingly accurate filing decision.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A bright sphere and reported beam are documented here, but the record’s own conclusion is Classification C: lack of reliable information. The witnesses’ account is specific enough to preserve, while the absence of a vehicle trace and additional testimony leaves very little to build on. “Unidentified” is doing the administrative heavy lifting, as usual; it is not a synonym for extraterrestrial. Off the Earth Record: the Visitors were observers, not the cause. That explains their presence in my filing notes, not the phenomenon itself. The earthly label remains unresolved—and correctly so.

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.
9 claim citations tie extracted statements back to source excerpts or locators.
Recorded evidence context: Witness Testimony Recorded In An Official Case Record and Vehicle Inspection Reporting No Trace.
The source record includes a published resolution: GEIPAN classification C; 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?
