Observed a silvery object for 10 minutes about 8 miles SSE of my home, just E of the (LAS) Airport 4:15 pm 12/03/2021 while stand in the back yard with my neighbor, he points up in the sky and asks what is that? We live under the approach and departure area of the McCarran airport, I thought he was referring to another type of aircraft. But this was no aircraft it was a long cylinder or cigar object bright white and silvery looking. The orientation of the Cylinder like object was vertical, the ends up and down and it appeared to be hovering southeast of the airport.
There had been air traffic departing in that area. I thought we would wait to see another aircraft pass by the area where the object was situated and gauge the size and altitude of it. But it seems at that moment all the aircraft that were departing had been diverted from that general area.
There were two aircraft that had changed course and headed north east away from that area. then all air traffic for 8 to 10 minutes seem to have been stopped. About 10 minutes later an aircraft that looked like a C-20 in dark green paint was seen coming from the direction of the McCarran airport heading toward the object in the sky.
The aircraft seem to have gotten about 1 mile from the object when it just winked out of sight. The aircraft passed through the area where the object was seen and continued on out of sight about 3 minutes later. I snapped a picture of it.
Didn’t think it would come out because of the distance about 5 miles out. But when I enlarged the image I was surprised to see an image of a tic tac shaped UFO like the ones seen in the news recently. Image 1 is the actual photo taken , image 2 is an enlargement of 1, image 3 is an enlargement just after the the object vanished.
Image 4 is map of area and approximate location of sightings.

Cylinder or tic tac sited I made a report on this sighting already. But I found a similar report from Downers Grove Illinois that occurred on the same date. Is it possible to contact this individual and show him my photos? He did make a request to compare information.
His report. Occurred : 12/3/2021 18:01 (Entered as : 12/03/2021 6:01 PM) Reported: 1/30/2022 10:11:10 AM 10:11 Posted: 3/4/2022 Location: Downers Grove, IL Shape: Cylinder Duration: minute or slightly more Characteristics: There were lights on the object, There were aircraft in the vicinity or aircraft chasing the object Metallic cylinder in sky, hovering still no sound or movement. Was with my son in back yard, I looked up and noticed a very clear cylinder shaped object with looked like 5 white lights.
I kept eyes on it and called my son to me, he was in a tree in yard shooting targets with bb gun. He came to me and asked "what" he could tell by tone of my voice it was something serious. I said "what's that" and pointed to object, he looked and his eyes got big, jaw dropped and said "wtf is that" I said something like I just wanted to make sure I was seeing what I was seeing.
I asked him to tell me what he saw, to confirm to me what I was seeing. He said to hurry and take a picture, but didn't have phone on me and didn't want to miss at least seeing it for longer. After watching it for a minute, the object and a cloud next to it seemed to fade before our eyes not take off flying in any direction, which was also very weird.
It was still light out and sky was perfectly clear and blue in area once object "faded" away, my son asked "how did it do that" like I would know. I been searching for a report of same thing before I said anything, when seen report from person in Elgin describing same thing but no lights I used that date, I know it was 1st week of Dec., was wanting to just confirm someone else's report.
Being in a Chicago suburb and being very obvious in sky, I thought there would be many reports of this object. It had to be pretty big, there were a handful of planes that could be seen in both easterly and western sky and from my observation this cylinder was much bigger. Hopefully this helps someone else seeing same thing.

Light in the sky followed by aircraft coming in from multiple directions. On 11/28/2021 between 1:30pm-1:45pm hovering above the south western part of Las Vegas was a intensely reflective object. It was not moving.
Just seemed to be idle. There was also about 5 easily identifiable airplanes/jets comin in from multiple directions and looked like the were attempting to surrounding the object. It looked as if they were trying to get closer to it.
Both my brother and I tried our best to keep the object in our sight but we were in traffic and weren't able to follow it for very long. Both of us watched it just disappear in sky and the planes that were around started to disperse outward into the sky. To give a better picture of the scene, the sun was positioned in the SW part of the sky.
The position of the sun was beaming off of the nearby buildings and showed its angle. The odd thing is that whatever was in the sky seemed to be reflective but the sun would've had to be in the northern position of the sky for it to cast such a bright reflection off of what ever it was.

Fleet of fast moving and zig zagging "crafts" My husband and I were setting off fireworks and filming for YouTube at the moapa fireworks launch site in Nevada. We noticed the other people around us looking up and getting excited.so we all look up.
Over us is about 45 or more tiny "crafts" zig zapping and flying around and various speeds and doing weird maneuvers. They were much tinier lights than starlink.they looked like they were in space! Definitely not satellites or anything like that.
Not drones.we've seen all these other things. These were 100 percent individually controlled objects.
I didn't have time to film.they were probably too far to catch anyway.but it was amazing and scary at the same time.
No idea what we saw.but now I wait and watch the sky, hoping to catch something just as awesome!.

Four objects of various colors flying in looping paths, one object flying right at us and scaring us away A few minutes after we turned off of US Highway 6 onto Nevada Highway 375, (on our 6-hour trip from Mammoth Lakes, CA to St. George, UT), my daughter and I saw on the left side of the highway a line of four, equally spaced, white lights along a line parallel to the highway inclined by about 10 degrees above horizontal. The lights were fairly dim, and we thought they might be streetlights along a parallel road on a nearby ridge, but we could not see any terrain around us to confirm this.
Only what our headlights lit up was visible, and all else was black except for these lights because it was a moonless and starless night, although visibility was unlimited at ground level. As we passed the lights on our left, they seemed to be about as far apart from each other as their distance from the road, and it took a minute or two to travel from the closest point to one light to the closest point to the next light. We were driving about 65 MPH, so the lights were a mile or two apart from each other, and about the same distance from the highway.
Because they were inclined at about 10 degrees, they were probably between 900 and 1800 feet above the elevation of the highway. As we were neared the closest point on the highway to the fourth and final light, all four lights suddenly lit up very brightly in four different colors, brilliant red, blue, green, and amber. They flew up, down, and sideways, and looped around each other.
One light shot out a vivid green beam of light. We stopped our car to get out and look at the spectacle. I saw the closest light, which was a very bright amber ball of light, drop down to ground level and start flying right at us.
In about 30 seconds, it stopped only a few hundred yards from us between 100 to 200 feet above the ground. I heard no noise. I could not see any structure to the object, just a very bright light that lit up several acres of ground under it.
I could see rocks and scrubby desert bushes or trees under it. My daughter who had been driving panicked and screamed at me to get back in the car as she jumped back in behind the wheel. As soon as I climbed back in next to her and shut my door, she sped away from the lights down the highway.
We were fearful that the lights might follow us, but none of them did.

3 bright lights not connected all in a row It was another night that I could not sleep so I came out to the kitchen to get a drink of water sometime between 1:00-1:30 in the morning. I looked out the kitchen window and there were 3 bright lights all in a row, not connected that I could tell. It couldn’t have been a helicopter with those kind of lights or an airplane because it never moved.
It didn’t go up, down, or sideways. It just stayed in one place. I watched for about 10 minutes and it sort of became eerie.
Like they were watching me as I was watching them. Finally I sat down on the couch and watched .

my co workers and I were outside our balcony on a break when we saw flying green lights in the sky At one point I believe there were 6-7 total. They were extremely fast, almost going in circles, but not necessarily in order. I'm not a UFO person, so that's hard for me to explain.
It started with one light that caught our attention, then about 3 became more constant. At some point there were about 6-7 surrounding the sky above us. We looked for anything that could explain it better than UFO's, but no indication of anything else.
After a while most left. But 1 seemed very persistent.The one captured on video I believe.
At some point, seemed liked 2 lights would come back and almost crash the persistent one, surround it, then would disappear, then only 2 lights kept going at it, until one left, and short after the other was also completely gone. I don't think I'm making much sense, By the time I grabbed my phone, and started recording it, that's all the footage I got, before my phone died.

Round white sphere moving VERY fast Looked like a Meteor falling to earth, it was not burning out like I expected, it was round and bright white, it then leveled out at about 300' and headed East, gradually gaining altitude. Speed was well over 1,000 mph. The entire event lasted less than 10 seconds until it disappeared behind the hills.
It was about 10 to 15 miles North of Interstate 80. From my position it looked about the size of a golf ball, But was probably about 30+' in diameter. It made no sound that I could hear.
Slight trail when it was falling towards the earth, no trail when it leveled out and headed East.

Three rotating black rectangles with extremely bright green lights at the long ends moving N-to-S in daylight As my wife and I were relaxing on our patio after finishing breakfast around 8:09AM on 5/31/2021, A green flash in the sky about 25 to 30 degrees above the western horizon caught my eye. When we observed we discovered that there were in fact three objects. All three looked rectangular in shape, perhaps 10X longer than wide, all were absolutely black in color (despite being illuminated directly in bright sunlight) with two continuous and strikingly bright green lights, one at each end.
These rectangles were rotating approximately once per second about their mid sections while moving south. There were brief instances when the entire length of the objects would flash very brightly in the same brilliant green. Within 30 seconds of observing the three objects, two of them were lost sight of.
The remaining single object continued due south until moving out of view, having been obstructed by neighboring homes. The maximum apparent size of the objects was a! bout 1/10th the diameter of the full Moon, made no noise. A commercial jet on final into McCarren Airport passed between one of the objects and my location, which may indicate the objects were actually quite large and more distant than I initially assumed.
4K videos of a portion of the observation was made which does show one of the objects rotating and flashing green lights, but are quite grainy.

Sighting in Las Vegas Sighting in Nevada May 2021. I reside in Connecticut. The Ariel crafts have followed me ever since I see one to two every evening to this day.
They send entities down to possess and torture people. They are able to enter your body as well. I have submitted numerous reports with my location and nothing has been done.
When in your body they inflate in your throat, heart and genitals. They speak in your center brain. This is a very serious problem I know they are doing this wherever they are.
They have followed and been inside my body since November 2020. See pictures below from Nevada and a few from Connecticut.

I saw a light that moved side to side and up and down then flashed bright with a baby blue color and a hazy blue aura around it. DATE/TIME & LOCATION: On May 26,2021 around 9:00pm, on the road 'NorthShore' while heading North. Coming up to the road 'Lake mead' heading to Vegas.
My girlfriend and I were heading back to Las Vegas after a day at Lake Mead. It was dark out and I was looking up at the sky/stars. I noticed a star like light that started to slowly glide across the sky.
Regular white color light at first. SIGHTING: I saw a light gliding across the sky for around 10 seconds. I saw it begin moving to the right then it started to move left really quickly then moved right again, that’s when it looked like it was ascending to the point it looked like a star, it got really small.
Then it descended back down and while doing so it flashed so bright with a baby blue looking color and hazy bluish aura around it. For a brief second, it was the brightest looking light in the sky. I then saw it keep gliding across the sky slowly for about 6 seconds then it quickly ascended again and while doing so it flashed 2 times like a camera flash, with a baby blue color.
It then seemed to disappear into the dark sky. After about 2 seconds I saw it flash 2 more times with a baby blue color and it went up so high into the sky that it just looked like a star. I kept looking at it and it seemed like it just faded away.
Number of objects: 1 My conclusion: I have came to the conclusion that what I saw was not anything Earth like. Not a satellite, not a plane or helicopter. Not a drone or military training act.
The way that it moved left and right seemed like it just moved in the direction it wanted to without any effort, to put an example its as if it was a cursor on a computer, it moved so easily and quickly, side to side then up and down. It also didn’t have the flashing lights that planes and helicopters have. The only times it flashed was when it moved up then down, other than that it just looked like a star in the sky that was gliding.
And the fact that in the end of all of it, it looked like it had just faded away into nothing. And it couldn’t have been a comet, its movements and bright flashing several times was nothing like it.

Las Vegas UAP moving orb sightings with military planes flying nearby. On May 18, 2021 after midnight my children, wife and I were at my mothers house in the back yard stargazing when my son pointed out a moving star. quickly realizing it was definitely not a star, I grabbed my phone and started recording.
To our surprise there were more than 1 blueish/white colored orb. There were about 6 orbs, possibly more. Occasionally they would do what I call a "ploom" which is when they expand themselves and disappear for a few seconds.
Their movement would be subtle but noticeable and then it would have a rotating movement as if it was surrounded by, or was energy like a plasma ball. A few orbs would zip quickly and then come to a dead stop (I didn't catch that on camera). After 1 hour observing them, the air force came in from the west and when they were near the orbs, the orbs would move higher every time a jet came by and drop back to their original height once they left.
I also took pictures of the orbs, but when I zoomed in on the orbs I realized that they weren't the only things in the sky. There were a few things I can't explain but I'm sure they weren't satellites. A few were amazing and large.
I am clueless to what we witnessed that night and hope you find this to be as interesting as we did. I have many more pictures of the objects so let me know if you would like me to send them. Location: 36.
1896006,-115.0208834 (36°11'22.6"N 115°01'15.
2"W) we were facing Southeast directly above us.
