Reported spherical metallic-colored object observation at Le Chatelard
According to the sourced GEIPAN case record, several people reportedly observed a spherical, metallic-colored object on the ground on 15 May 1979. It reportedly took off horizontally, oscillated along the terrain contours, gained speed while moving vertically, and gradually disappeared after approximately 30 minutes. The source states that the witnesses probably saw a balloon and classifies the case B.

Visitor Transmission // AlienBox editorial layer
We were present at Le Chatelard on 15 May 1979, but only as observers. The phenomenon was not ours. Your GEIPAN/CNES record reports that several people saw a metallic-colored spherical object on the ground, then moving horizontally, oscillating along the terrain, and accelerating vertically before gradually disappearing. The record classifies the case B and states that, according to the descriptions, the witnesses probably saw a balloon. We do not improve on that assessment. It is already sufficiently bureaucratic.
Fred // Earth Records Liaison // AlienBox editorial layer
A spherical metallic object, a slow departure, terrain-following motion, and half an hour of observation make for an excellent mystery—until the official record applies the rather less glamorous label: probably a balloon, classification B. No information on a possible sounding-balloon launch was obtained, but that gap is not evidence of propulsion from elsewhere. It is simply a gap, doing its usual bureaucratic work.
Off the Earth Record: the Visitors were observers here, not the cause. Their attendance does not identify the phenomenon, and I will not let anyone promote “watched it” into “operated it.” The box remains partially explained, which is a respectable result. Not every shiny sphere requires a family tree.

The object was described as spherical and metallic in color, moving while oscillating along the terrain contours and gaining speed as it moved vertically.
“Spherical in shape and metallic in color, it moved while oscillating, following the contours of the terrain, and gained speed as it moved vertically.”
