Vanishing suddenly in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France

Recent testimony (October 13, 2009) about an old sighting (August 28, 1994). During a picnic, four people from the same family observe a particular point that approaches. An immense copper-colored cylinder with portholes appears to them. It remains stationary 10 or 15 meters from the ground, then changes direction and speed to disappear instantly. No photograph of the craft or the site was taken at the time. The age of the case makes any investigation difficult, if not impossible.
