UFO sighting near Nye County (1982)

August 1982 night Nye County, Nevada 4 witnesses

Account

A family camping at an abandoned mining camp near a military range boundary was told by military personnel to leave due to an escaped convict, but the personnel left for another call. Shortly after, the father was attacked from behind while the mother drove away with the children after hearing screaming and seeing a monster-like pursuer. The father died, his body was recovered inside the range, and years later the son learned from a supervisor that an escaped non-human entity had killed him.
