June 1955. Bronze saucer/cylindrical craft; approx. 3:30 p.m., no life form sited.

This was such an amazing sighting.  The craft was deep bronze in color with a glow about it, probably due to the time of day and the sun's position.  This was in a relatively remote suburban location, and we were simply in the large back area having a family picnic.
 The object appeared suddenly at some (miles?) away and slowly approached us...however, it did not attempt to get too near, but instead laid back at a distance for a little time and then suddenly veered to its left and disappeared. The object was absolutely huge. At no time did we feel threatened in any way...it was almost a protective feeling.  We did not report the incident, but rather just took in in stride for some reason.  As I reflect back now, I feel that it was a direct emissary from God.  We saw no evidence of life form, except for the magnificent warmth of color of the object and obvious intelligence of the crafters of same.
Date is approximate.  PD
