Locals Freaked Out By Glowing Red And White UFOs In The Night Sky Over Las Vegas

Recently, the Pentagon’s new investigative UFO office said it had received “several hundred” reports of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, or UAPs, as they prefer to call them.

With recent UFO sightings in rural Wisconsin, in the skies above India, over central Florida, and now this latest report out of Las Vegas, the number of reports that the Pentagon is receiving won’t be slowing down anytime soon.

The aforementioned UFO sighting in Las Vegas took place around Christmas with numerous people taking to social media to share what they had witnessed and ask questions.

When people in Las Vegas are concerned about weird lights in the sky, then you know something is definitely off.

The witnesses stated that they saw random red and white glowing lights through the clouds in the night sky.

In a TikTok video that captured a good look at the lights, it almost appears as to be like the Upside Down from Stranger Things, only in real life.

The strange red and white glowing UFOs were also captured on video by others in the area.

“Def wild cause it’s reflecting the light when it hits it! That def something up there,” one Twitter commented.

The Hill reports…

Workers at the Sapphire Gentleman’s Club on Sammy Davis Jr. Drive posted the first videos of the phenomenon early on the morning of Friday, Dec. 23. From the parking lot, they filmed what appeared to be groups of red and white lights shining in the clouds.

“Honestly, this is really strange,” a voice can be heard remarking of the lights. “I mean, we’re here every night. I’ve never seen anything like this.”

The people recording the event speculated that it was a UFO hovering above the club, and they weren’t alone. Nexstar’s KLAS heard from a worker at a nearby marijuana-growing business who also saw the lights, claiming they stayed in place for more than an hour.

Of course, some buzzkill from the National Weather Service had to go and spoil the UFO party with his explanation for the red and white UFO lights.

Long pillars of multicolored light streaking the sky seem like the perfect backdrop for impending alien invasion, but in reality, light pillars are a common effect that can be found all over the world.

They do come from above — not extraterrestrials, but tiny crystals of ice hanging in the atmosphere. Ice is very thin, shaped like plates with hexagonal faces. When ice drifts down through the air, it falls close to horizontally. At the top and bottom are the faces with more area. Ice is very reflective, so when light hits those wider faces, it bounces around and reflects off more ice crystals.

That means we get these vertically stacked mirrors floating in the atmosphere. The light hitting it gets reflected up and up (or down and down, depending on the source), and becomes a radiant column in the sky.

Soooo… it was the Upside Down, but they’re blaming it on the atmosphere? Pffft….
