Abstract: We give an overview of the SPHERE experiment based on detection of reflected Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation ('Cherenkov light') from extensive air showers in the energy region E$>$10$^{15}$ eV. A brief history of the reflected Cherenkov light technique is given; the observations carried out with the SPHERE-2 detector are summarized; the methods of the experimental datasample analysis are described. The first results on the primary cosmic ray all-nuclei energy spectrum and mass composition are presented. Finally, the prospects of the SPHERE experiment and the reflected Cherenkov light technique are given.
