SIGHTING: LAS VEGAS, NEVADA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"Myself, my mother, and my step-father were driving home from dinner, going West and about midway through our drive home, I notice that on the horizon there is a billowy cloud. Not too much attention was paid, but then we noticed that there was a small light, that seemed to be leading the trail. The closest comparable thing would be a missile launch or even a shuttle takeoff. It stood out pink on the horizon, and its vibrancy made us notice. My mother was the one who noticed the light at the tip, and we brushed it off as a plane. The trail, however, seemed far too thick. It ascended and slowly began to curve, almost identical to that of a missile. The sun was setting at this point, and eventually it faded out. As of 7:30, the thick base was still clearly visible, even against the darkened sky. If it helps at all, there was a test of the weather system, hours earlier, broadcast on the radio. Earlier in September, there was seemingly a missile launch coming from New Mexico, that left similar contrails over the valley."
