Full Description & Details

I was a security guard on a 525 acre estate in Manhasset N.Y. working the 10pm to 6am shift. I had just finished my 2am patrol in the estate partol security station wagon color white when I parked in a meadow overlooking the main house of the estate when I saw an object on the horizon to the north above the tree line. The temperature was in the 60's so I turned the engine off and opened the windows in the patrol vehicle. There was no wind and the lights of New York City to the west put a slight yellow glow in the night sky. As it was my duty as a security guard to observe the happenings on the estate I saw an object to the north which I estimated to be miles away , over the Long Island Sound. The object was dark in color and it had no lights that I could make out, I could not hear the sound of an engine, but I didn't that I would be able to hear a helicoptor engine at the distance I was from the water fo the Sound. The object repeated the east to west and west to east pattern for at least 15 minutes then the objects movement started to come to the south, which made me happy because it was coming toward me and I would be able to identify it and then go on my next patrol. To my surprise now I could see that it was just over the tree tops and about 500 yards away from me and I still couldn't hear an engine sound. As it approached I saw that the shape was not that of a helicoptor but that of a clam or almond moving slowly back and forth from east to west then west to east. The object moved closer and then I saw lights around the horizontal center line which were yellow, green and orange. As the object began to come over me I had to look out the left side window at approximately a 75 degree angle upward now I could see that the shape from below looking upward was that of a circle or a disk. The object was directly over me and my patrol vehicle now and a very bright white light came straight down on me, I then turned my high intensity spotlight directly straight up into the center of its light source then to my surprise all the objects lights went off and the object left at an extremely high rate of speed toward the north east with no sound at all.
