Robert Klein has come forward to reveal an unexplained encounter with a UFO that occurred back in 2022.
Klein, who has been with the police force for more than 25 years, had been on a routine night shift when he observed something strange in the sky near a reservoir in Connecticut's Fairfield County.
He described the object, which was hovering 30ft above his car, as being the size of a Mini Cooper.
It cycled through several colors - red, green, white and orange - and had a 'plasma-like' quality.
"I've seen my fair share of drones and meteors," he said during an interview with NewsNation.
"This was something I've never come across before."
"There was a really strong light. It lit up the entire cab of my cruiser to the point where I was having a hard time driving because I really couldn't see. I was blinded by it."
He quickly decided to stop, grab his camera and record some footage.
"It gave off a low hum, which was very distinct," he recalled.
