Cylindrical UFO observed in Sisteron in 2002

Summary

A motorist in Sisteron, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, observed an unidentified flying object in August 2002. The object had a cylindrical shape and a brown color, moving silently in a straight line from south to east, leaving a short trail behind. Although he took a film photograph, he did not report the incident at the time. Only years later, upon finding the image, did he contact the GEIPAN to provide information. The delayed testimony, with no additional witnesses, complicates any further investigation beyond photographic analysis.

The lack of precise details about the date and the absence of other witnesses make it difficult to evaluate the case. Despite the clear description of the object and its trajectory, no conventional explanations have been found. This case, classified as C by the GEIPAN, remains unresolved, representing one of the many mysteries still unanswered in the database of unexplained aerial phenomena.
