NASA Says ‘UFO’ Spotted Crashing in Las Vegas Was a Small Meteor; Cops Say They Hope to Find Aliens

After police and citizens saw a bright meteor in the sky, cops unsuccessfully stalked what witnesses said were beings with glowing eyes nearly 10 feet tall.

NASA’s planetary defense officer, Lindley Johnson, tells Motherboard that a green fireball observed last month by, among others, a Las Vegas police officer was likely a bright meteor less than a meter in size and certainly not a UFO that fell in anyone’s backyard.

Las Vegas cops, meanwhile, tell Motherboard that while they didn’t find aliens in a manhunt last month, they do hope to do so in the future, citing the city’s proximity to Area 51.

At issue here is footage that went wildly viral over the weekend depicting the aftermath of a UFO sighting. Last month, as reported by KLAS, a man called the Las Vegas police to report something startling: After an object fell from the sky, he and his family saw a non-human being at least eight feet tall in their backyard.

“It has big eyes and it’s looking at us,” the man told a 911 dispatcher.

I have been asking Scotty to beam me up.

Things have gotten literally and figuratively too hot on this planet.

We were so agitated that my mother said we could not watch Twilight Zone again.
Which made us freak out even more.

She relented of course.

He must've gotten a bad batch.

His description is pretty scary though. I live in Vegas and would hate to see an eight foot tall, non-human with glowing, green eyes in my backyard and staring back at me.

I do like the Vegas cop's statement that he hopes to find aliens in the future as the city is not far from Area 51...I assume his tongue was solidly in cheek.

If nobody has yet figured out what it is, it is UNIDENTIFIED

If it is moving through the air (other than just falling straight down), it is FLYING

If it is "something perceptible by one or more of the senses, especially by vision or touch; a material thing", it is an OBJECT

So if I hit a baseball in the air or shoot an arrow and nobody knows what it was, but saw it moving, and couldn't identify it, then it is a UFO.

Ban Major League Baseball. We need Bow Control laws.

How come there are so many reported landings and "creatures" come from them but all the evidence suddenly disappears?

I know. After they destroy half the world, some obscure scientist comes up with a bizarre argon-generating blaster that kills them all then governments cover it all up by changing all the maps to show the destroyed cities never existed.

Then again, aliens would explain why so many people in this country turned into idiots and bow to Lord Donald. Mind Control.

Hey, it's not like I am against mind control as people have a right to have no brain. I don't want to be bigoted at those without brains. There is nothing wrong with mind control as long as it's me doing the controlling.
