Several floating lights joined in a strange V shape formation on the Las Vegas strip.

On May 1st. 2004 at approx. 2200 Hrs. while on my honey moon in Las Vegas,my wife and I were walking across the bridgeway headed for the MGM Grand while cam cording the walk my wife noticed several lights that looked like they were floating south of and above the Excalibur hotel traveling north east. We first thaught they were pollen as they were jusst floating slowly in the sky but they were way too far away for that. I cam corded the event and as the lights floated cloaser together five of them formed a V shape, and then several others caught up and joined in this strange formation. As they disappeared behind the Excalibur hotel on this clear night a helicopter flew by as if to be cureous, then strangely headed in the opposite direction and flew behind the Flamingo hotel. We waited to see if the lights would re-appear on the other side of the hotel, but nothing else was seen.



NUFORC Note:

We routinely receive reports from Las Vegas, and we believe that most of the reports are of light-colored birds, which pursue the insects drawn to the bright lights above the hotels and casinos. PD
