Connecticut police officer Robert Klein, a 25-year law enforcement veteran, says he had a UFO encounter that was like something straight out of a movie. He told his wild story to Ashleigh Banfield on her show last week.

Klein explained to Banfield that in April 2022 an intense, glowing light filled his police car, changed colors, and flew through the air at speeds that defied the laws of physics as we know them. He says he got a good look at the UFO, and it was a “perfect sphere” about the size of a Mini Cooper as it hovered just 30 feet from his vehicle.

The UFO encounter occurred on a dark stretch of road near a local reservoir in Fairfield County, Connecticut about 40 minutes into his shift.

Klein claims the UFO had a “plasma-like” look to it and its color changed between red, green, white, and orange.

“I’ve seen my fair share of drones and meteors,” Klein told Banfield. “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,” Klein continued. “I was blinded by it.

“So I immediately put [his car] into park, rolled down the window and blocked the light with my hand because it was very intense to see where it was coming from and what exactly it was. At that point the lights started to move along the left side of the cruiser. So it stopped right in front, off to the left. As I looked up, that’s when I saw this object.”

He says the UFO emitted “a low hum, which was very distinct.” When he trained his car’s spotlight on the UFO it made an “instantaneous” movement and flew across the water at an extremely high rate of speed.

“That’s when I sort of snapped out of it and took out my camera and started recording and taking pictures,” Klein explained. “I couldn’t see it go from A to B, that’s how fast it moved.”

Ross Coulthart, an Australian investigative journalist and author who believes governments are covering up their knowledge of UFOs, was later asked to address Officer Klein’s claims on another show which aired on NewsNation.

“In this case we have a very senior police officer, a man of high credit who’s worked for his community for 25 years,” Coulthart very validly pointed out. “Why would he expose himself to public vilification and ridicule, or at least the risk thereof, by speaking about UFOs?”
