   UFO SIGHTING DESCRIBED BY BATTLE MOUNTAIN   
      
        Elaine  Goldman  would like someone to tell her what it  was   
   she  saw  on  her way home to  Battle  Mountain  Monday  evening.   
   Failing  that,  she would at least like to know that someone else   
   saw  what she,  her sister and her aunt observed in the skies  of   
   northeastern Nevada.   
        The  three women were driving west on Interstate 80 at about   
   5 p.m.  Monday, Goldman said, and were about 28 miles from Battle   
   Mountain  when  they first sighted the  object.   "At  first,  it   
   looked like a star, but it was so light outside," Goldman said.   
        As  they drew nearer to the object,  which Goldman said  sat   
   motionless  hundreds of feet above Interstate 80,  they began  to   
   realize that this was no star.   
        "We were close enough to it to tell it wasn't an airplane or   
   a helicopter, either," Goldman said, "I get kind of nervous."   
        She described the thing as "kind of like an oval" in  shape,   
   its  size difficult to pinpoint because of the distance involved,   
   and bathed in a red glow.   Two short streams of what appeared to   
   be  smoke  emanated from the center of the  oval,  Goldman  said,   
   adding  the  streams in no way resembled the contrails of  a  jet   
   aircraft.   
        At  each  end of the oval was a flashing  red  light,  which   
   could  have  accounted for the glow,  the Battle  Mountain  woman   
   added.   
        Goldman  said she and her relatives kept the object in sight   
   for  10-15 minutes before they passed directly beneath  it.   And   
   then  it  was gone.   "It just disappeared," she said.   "It  was   
   there and then it wasn't."   
        The  object may have vanished,  but not Goldman's  curiosity   
   about what it could have been.   A check yesterday at the Federal   
   Aviation Administration office in Elko provided little assistance   
   -- the official on duty said there were no UFO sightings reported   
   there Monday.   
        But  Goldman  says  she is hopeful that  someone  will  come   
   forward to corroborate her sighting.  "I'm sure somebody else had   
   to have seen it," the Battle Mountain woman said.
