A truly mysterious series of lights were seen by people in the Las Vegas valley earlier this week.
The lights, as seen in several videos and photographs, appeared over Las Vegas around 7:30 p.m. Monday, March 1. People on different sides of the city have reported seeing them.
In the video and pictures you can clearly see four to eight lights. While hard to tell, most of the lights appear to be floating without much movement.
One witness, Melanie Smith who lives on the fourth floor of a building a couple miles south of the Las Vegas Strip, says "I saw the lights appear twice between 7:30 and 8:30" and she recorded some videos.
In her first video she is recording looking north. You can see seven lights at first. Four grouped together to the left of her view (west), another light is seen lower than the others, and two more to the right.
In her second video she notices an eighth light that appears only for a few seconds, but as she says in the recording it looks like it was on fire.
In another video posted to Twitter, the person who recorded this video writes "it looked like the lights were over Circa in downtown Las Vegas"
Another witness Stephen Demeter took three photographs from the far southern part of the valley. He wrote, “We took these pics last night around 8:00 pm (Monday). We are in the Club at Madeira Canyon and look north to the airport and the strip.”
Analysis
Nellis Air Force Base is on the far side of
the large mountain peak approximately 15 miles away. There have been
several comments online that the lights were military flares from Nellis
jets.
