The Cl described an event that occurred during his employment as a security officer at CoQper Nuclear Station. He
was employed there from 198~ through 1989 and did not remember specifically when during that time the event
occurred.
While posted at the intake structure one night, he observed an "unidentified flying object" fly down the Missouri River
about 150 feet in the air and hover in front of the intake. He observed it for a few moments and then contacted a
fellow security officer who also observed it he could not recall the individual's name exactly but his first name wasl(b)(7)( I
and his last name was eith (b)(?)(C) . After they together observed the UFO, it turned and
went back up the river and d the other officer shared their observation with their
peers who did not believe them.
The next evening he again was posted at the intake and observed the UFO retum again. This time he didn't call
anyone until the UFO had traversed into the protected area and hovered above the protected area just north of the
Reactor Building. He said it was roughly triangular in shape with a circle of rotating lights on the bottom. He could not
hear any propulsion noise from the UFO. He believes that it was roughly 1/3 the size of the Reactor Building. Once
the UFO hovered in the protected ar~ ~~~!l:d ~= ~ecu: b;ak mom~nd lost of the officers on shift observed
the UFO. These individuals included(b)(l)(q; _ nd Jrbvzvc> (both of whom were

protected are and returned back up the river to the north as it had the previous night The Cl said that he never saw
the UFO at the plant again after that evening.

reported.
