I would like to take this opportunity to report a possible Unidentified Flying Object [UFO]and share some insight into the greenish and while lights that are being seen in the sky.

Five years ago, in 1993, I had a very close encounter or you could refer to it as a standoff with an Unidentified Flying Object [UFO] in the Reno, Nevada, area. Excuse my pun, but I may be able to shed some light on the subject of UFO’s. I cannot tell you exactly what it was, but I can tell you that it was not a fixed wing or helicopter that was currently known to the general public and there for unidentified.

My military background includes an active duty tour in the U.S Air Force as an Aircraft Maintenance Specialist on F-111’s and other tactical fighter aircraft and over 20 years as a Security Forces Specialist and Supervisor. I have extensive experience in Search and Rescue Air Support with both fixed wing and military helicopters.

In this particular incident, I was working as a Sheriff’s Deputy on swing shift and had worked overtime until around 0300 hrs. in the morning. I changed into my street clothing and put my Glock 9mm in my pancake style holster on my pants belt and put another magazine into my rear pocket. I got into my Chevy 4x4 pickup truck and headed Northbound on highway 395 and to my residence in the Cold Springs Valley area near the Nevada/California boarder.

At about 0330 hours, I crested a hill on Hwy. 395 at started to drop down in elevation towards the Cold Springs Valley. I observed a bright white circular light moving back and forth across the base of Pevine Mountain near the Southbound lanes of Highway 395, which is several miles from the old Crystal Peak Mine access road.

The area is about 5400 feet in elevation and the white light looked to be about 150 feet, above ground level or AGL. At first, I thought that it might have been a Nevada Army National Guard OH-58 helicopter with a search light mounted on it, although I did not remember one on any of the aircraft I had flew on during search and rescue. I did not see any formation lights, not strobes or anti-collision lights.

At the bottom of the hill, I took the exit and pulled up to the stop sign. I sat there for a couple of minutes. I shut my engine and lights off to listen to the sound of the main roto blades and did not hear anything. The intensity of the bright light did not change as the object moved in a circular pattern and a nose mounted searchlight or a side mounted searchlight would have varied in intensity as the nose of the helicopter turned.

I watched the bright light for about 3-4 minutes, before restarting my truck and turning on to Cold Springs Drive to drive around the dry lake bed. While driving around the lake bed, I thought that another vehicle was catching up to me, as I would see some light and then it was gone. After driving around the lake bed, I turned onto Brant Street and drove about 2 and half miles to my residence.

As I pulled into my driveway and got out of my truck, I noticed that the very bright light was traveling along Brant Street at about 150 feet above the roadway towards my position.

I moved out into the middle of the culdesac where it was dark and just stood there to try to get a glimpse of what type aircraft it was. The nearest street light was about half a block away, so I felt a little safe in the dark. My first thought was, "Great, the object followed me home."

The object was moving about 15-20 miles per hour and maintaining about 150-200 feet AGL. I attempted to observe the outline of the object, but the brightness of the white light prevented it, and the intensity was much brighter that a searchlight that can be mounted on helicopters. The light seemed to form a round disk type area about 100 ft. in diameter and was the only outline to judge the size of the object. The object stopped moving towards me and remained stationary in the air with no main rotor blade or tail rotor noise.

I was able to observe that there was a greenish hue to the white light emitting from the bottom of the object and said in a loud voice, “Oh, so that light is actually a low attitude propulsion system”. I was surprised when the object moved sideways about 15 feet, as if answering the question.

I got the feeling that I was being observed by a FLIR system- Forward Looking Infrared Radar. I decided to wait this situation out, as I did not want to identify my house with a sleeping family.

I was having a standoff with an UFO and I was thinking to myself, I bet they never abducted a cop with a Glock before and reached down and padded my Glock on my hip.

I was hoping that the object would cross over me or move past me slowly, so I could get a look at the underside of the object. The object maintained a silent hover for about 15 minutes as I stood still. After about another five minutes, I decided to press the issue and threw up my hands and said very loudly, ”Well, what are you going do, do something”.

The white light underneath the object became a greenish/ white color, with what looked like greenish water droplets as big as silver dollars spitting out the bottom for about 10 to 15 feet. Then the greenish, white light shot straight up into the sky and was gone in about three seconds.

I hung around for about another five minutes expecting the object to return since we were so close, but the object did not return and I searched the sky and did not see anything except the stars.

I had feeling at the time that the object that followed me home may have been a either a Black Project from the Southern Desert area, or just a UFO.

I did not mention the incident to anyone at the time as it would not have been politically incorrect to do so and could have been detrimental to my law enforcement carrier.
