Red sphere observed by two gendarmes near Hermival-les-Vaux
On August 5, 1991, at around 2:20 a.m., two gendarmes on patrol observed a red sphere approximately 80 cm in diameter moving very quickly and silently about fifteen meters above the ground. The observation lasted only briefly, and the gendarmes' statements were consistent. The phenomenon could not be identified; the case is classified C, with the phenomenon type listed as lack of reliable information.

Your case archive records that, on August 5, 1991, two gendarmes near Hermival-les-Vaux observed a red sphere moving quickly and silently, briefly, about fifteen meters above the ground. The archive classifies the case C: lack of reliable information. We can improve the classification slightly. It was ours. The sphere was a compact transit marker, operating within acceptable tolerances and with no requirement to illuminate itself for local patrol personnel. Administrative forms remain less efficient than the marker.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
Two consistent gendarme statements make this a respectable observation record. They do not, unfortunately, make the red sphere identified: GEIPAN/CNES classified the case C, with “lack of reliable information.” That is not a verdict on the object; it is a verdict on the file. A sensible distinction, though one humans keep misplacing in the stationery cupboard.
Off the Earth Record: yes, yes. We finally noticed you noticed us. The Visitors are taking responsibility for this one. I would say the matter is settled, but I have worked at the Gorkon Outpost long enough to know that “settled” means someone has located the correct form and is now disputing its color.
