Las Vegas UFO
This incident involves two stories that have been brought together as one — the observation of a bright streak of light in the skies over Las Vegas, Nevada and a 911 call that was placed shortly after to report something unusual in a family's backyard.
On April 30, 2023 around 11:50 PM, a police officer's body camera video recorded something streaking low across the sky. Several people across eastern California, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah reported seeing the flash, according to the American Meteor Society. Reports of the object by Las Vegas residents describe the phenomenon.
- "It looked like a giant shooting star, but was extremely close to earth."
- "First red then green then glowing white; bright like an explosion."
- "Light Blue, Light Green"
- "Green, Light Green"
- "Green, Light Green, Orange, Yellow, Light Yellow; it has a sparkling trail that lasted a few seconds at most"
- "Fizzling or crackling"
At 12:25 AM, a call is received by a 911 dispatcher from an individual in the Northwest Valley of Las Vegas, Nevada. According to the caller, an object has landed in their backyard and there are multiple creatures nearby, standing 8-10 feet tall. A nearby Ring doorbell camera appears to have caught the moment that the object impacted. It has since been determined that the original Ring doorbell video was filmed several weeks earlier when a fireball shot across the Las Vegas sky.
Dispatcher: "OK, where is this on your property?"
Caller: "In my backyard. I swear to God this is not a joke, this is actually — we're terrified."
Dispatcher: "So, there's two people, there's two subjects in your backyard?"
Caller: "Correct and they're very large. They're like 8 foot, 9 feet, 10 foot. They look like aliens to us. Big eyes. They have big eyes. Like, I can't explain it, and big mouth. They're shiny eyes and they're human. They're 100% not human."
Dispatcher:"OK.?"
At 1:04 AM, officer's body camera captures the meeting with the family that placed the 911 call.
Witness: "It was like a, it was like a big creature."
Officer: "A big creature?"
Witness: "Yea, more than 10 feet tall."
Officer: "I'm not going to BS, you guys. One of my partners said they saw something fall out of the sky, too. So that's why I'm kind of curious."
Witness: "I don't believe in it but what I saw right now, I do believe in it."
Officer: "You guys seem, like, legit scared so I don't blame you."
Officer: "Hey, if those 9-foot beings come back, don't call us, alright. Deal with it yourself," the officer joked as they were leaving.
The incident was witnessed by at least three people in the family. These witnesses also reported hearing footsteps on the roof and recalled that the creatures were communicating, or appeared to be whispering to one another. One of the witnesses reported being "frozen" by the creature and was unable to move. He was close enough to see and hear one of the creatures breathing. The spot where the object landed was "obscured and blurry, as if by unknown form of camouflage", according to local news reports.
It was reported in the days following the event that government vehicles were spotted driving near the subject property. At least one retired Las Vegas Metro police officer has acknowledged staking out the house in the days following the event.
This incident was first reported by 8 News NOW Las Vegas on June 7, 2023.
Remaining Questions
- Why did it take so long for the public to hear about the event (over a month)?
- What landed in their backyard?
- Was this an extraterrestrial encounter?
What's clear is that something was witnessed flying overhead by the residents of Las Vegas, Nevada that evening. Is that connected to the witness incident called into 911?
