- Having recently taken my first-ever trip to Las Vegas, I've
- been thinking lately about a television show I saw within the
- last year (can't remember which one, exactly, but it was along
- the lines of HardCopy, Inside Edition, or Sightings), on which
- was shown some videotape of what appeared to be aerial objects
- maneuvering about very quickly in all sorts of quirky manners.
- It seems to me that this footage may have been taken from the
- Las Vegas area, as I do recall seeing some sort of city skyline
- and mountains in the distance. Does anyone recall seeing this
- broadcast videotape also? Was it taken from Las Vegas? If so,
- when was this footage shot, and toward which direction from the
- city? Any idea of just how often "weird things" are seen/heard in
- the skies near the Las Vegas area, given its location in relation
- to the reputedly infamous Area 51? Wasn't there also some local
- TV reporter there who was doing some digging around about UFOs in
- the past couple years? Is he the one who shot the video?
-
- I might mention also that the driver of the Hoover Dam tour bus
- I was on was fully aware of the Area 51 "legend", and made brief
- mention of it on the tour. Being a 30-year resident of the area,
- he's been up toward that way a number of times. He didn't mention
- whether he'd ever encountered anything unusual, however. (But then,
- I really didn't press the matter. Yet when I first mentioned about
- people seeing weird things in the skies up toward that way, he
- immediately brought up Area 51 *by name*, even though I hadn't.
- So I don't think the subject is anything new to LV denizens.....)
-
- Speaking of Hoover Dam, anyone ever hear if *that* location has
- its own share of UFO lore??....seeming that UFOs reputedly just
- love a good power-generating facility....doggone, I shoulda asked
- while I was *there*....
-
- Just a curious inquiry......hoping someone like Mssrs. Allen or
- Moore (?) might have the good scoop on all this....
