Duration: 6-7 mins
No of observers: 1

Location: Las Vegas, NV, USA

Shape: Triangle


I told the 911 Operator that i was looking at a "huge black triangle".

I am reporting my sighting now rather than when it occurred because i am much older and really do not care anymore what people think of me as far as being crazy or weird.

This sighting was also called in to 911 dispatch as it happened, so there is evidence of my reporting it.

This sighting occurred in the Spring of 1994...

It was a nice evening in Las Vegas and my girlfriend and i had been hanging out in our apartment. We both smoked cigarettes and i had decided to go outside to smoke this time.

We were on the second floor and it had a railing right outside of our front door and i leaned on the railing with my forearms and lit up my cigarette.

I had taken a drag or two when i just happened to look up at the sky at my 2 o'clock position and saw this enormous black triangled craft float overhead approximately 2000 feet up. The craft moved at a slow and steady pace from right to left. If it had been a plane it would have fallen out of the sky.The craft made no noise and was PERFECTLY triangular.

I yelled for my girlfriend Dana to come outside. When she came out i pointed to the craft and asked her, "what does that look like to you?". She replied, "Oh my god, look at that thing, it's huge!". I was so shocked by what i was seeing that all i could think to do was run in, grab the wireless phone, and call 911.

When the dispatcher came on the line i told her this, "I can't believe what we're seeing, my girlfriend and i are looking at a huge black triangle floating over my apartment right now!".

The dispatcher, not apparently upset that i called, said, "really? You're looking at a UFO?". Something to that effect. I told her i was not kidding that my girlfriend was right there looking at it with me. I also told her i wasn't on drugs or alcohol or anything like that. I was just witnessing an unidentified flying object.

She told me there were no other reports of the craft and that maybe i should try contacting Nellis Air Force Base. She also was genuinely interested in what the craft looked like and what it was doing.

She never dispatched any cops or anything.

My girlfriend and i then proceeded to watch the craft climb slowly up and away.

The craft never made any sudden moves or turns or attempted to speed up until the very end of the sighting, it looked as if it was moving faster as it gained more altitude up and away.

That's my story. It isn't the most exciting, but it was a real triangled craft "plain as day" and there is a 911 call out there with my voice reporting it.

I just can't remember the exact date. But i'm sure there has to be a way to find the recording.




NUFORC Note:

Source indicates that date of event is approximate. Most 9-1-1 facilities recycle their magnetic tapes on a regular basis, so the recording probably has been erased. PD
