We present the discovery of a new extreme high proper motion object (∼3.5 arcsec/year) which we classify as an ultracool subdwarf with (M/H) ∼− 0.5. It has a formal spectral type of sdM9 but also shows L-type features: while the VO bands are completely absent, it exhibits extremely strong TiO absorption in its optical spectrum. With a radial velocity of about −160 km s −1 and a rough distance estimate of 16-24 pc, it is likely one of the nearest halo members crossing the Solar neighbourhood with a heliocentric space velocity of (U, V, W) = (−244, −256, −100) ± (32, 77, 6) km s −1 .
