SIGHTING: LAS VEGAS, NEVADA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

" my bf and i enjoy doing outdoor stuff on our weekends and were trying out an easy trail from las vegas to pioneer saloon in goodsprings, nv via potosi pass...Forest service road: #582. it's 30 miles and about a 3 hour trip through amazingly beautiful terrain mostly along a bunch of power lines. we were somewhere in the first 1/3rd of the trail and we weren't too, too far passed the last house and the boy scout campgrounds when i saw this awesome cloud formation that looked like a phoenix flying and asked to stop for a photo opportunity. i believe, thinking back, that we had just gotten through this really cool crook in the road that had a "tiny canyon" feel to it. it really wasn't much more than a few little crooks in the road. i snapped a picture with my cell phone upright and then turned my cell on it's side to get the second shot; lengthwise. much farther down the trail i notice the 3 circles but we really didn't have the time to investigate it further(way passed that spot by then) until i'd downloaded them to my pc for a better look. the second picture was taken just a few seconds from the first, both through the opened window; just got the truck's windows tinted a few weeks prior so i know the window was down. 1st picture is normal and the 2nd picture held a very unique circular cloud configuration directly under the "phoenix"...After noticing the circles i took lots of pictures of the scenery and clouds...I have some weird spots in the clouds in a lot of them but nothing like this. i showed the "phoenix" pictures to my bf and he, nor i, has ever seen anything like this before. he's a witness to the short duration it took to snap the 2 pics. he wanted to keep moving because we planned to go to pioneer saloon and be off the trail before dark. we got into goodsprings between 6 and 7pm. personally, it looks like a portal.
