UFO contact we made during Desert Shield in the Indian Ocean.

I, USN AW3(SAR)----- and pilots LCDR -------- and Lt ----, flying in the Indian ocean with HSL-33 attached to the USS William H. Standley with the Kitty Hawk battle group 1992-1993 from San Diego. I found a contact on the radar doing OTH late at night looking for a small fishing vessel carrying small arms out of Yemen to Somalia. It was reported to the ship via datalink and radio. Contact got within 7 miles of us, had lights and at first looked like a slow mover, helicopter or drone but then after several minutes of radar contact and visual it disappeared.
