Multiple UFOs LAS 9Oct2018

I was sunning by the pool at our building in Las Vegas, at the start of a short holiday (because our choice resort in St. Martin was destroyed). I was looking up, mostly watching the helicopters and planes departing LAS. Then, I saw the first object.

I saw a bright white UFO, moving slowly. Then I saw the second one. Then, the first dropped 3 objects from it. The 3 new UFOs looked like “stars”, except it was about noon, with a blazing sun, so stars wouldn't have been visible. I thought they might be weather balloons. But, then I realized that one of the larger objects, moved at a MUCH faster rate, than the UFO “mother” ship that dropped the three “stars”. So, they couldn't be balloons, or they would all be moving at about the same rate, in the same direction. Plus, they didn't look like balloons. They looked like “pyramids” and “stars”.

When I saw the three objects falling from the mother ship, I thought it might be a plane, dropping jumpers. But, I realized, it was not a plane. As the first object got closer (more overhead), I could see it was sort of a pyramid shape, but the orientation changed, as the UFO “tumbled”. It did not stay in a constant orientation, like an airplane. The 3 dropped “stars”, moved slowly “below” the mother ship. They didn't drop quickly, like jumpers, which was another reason I realized they were not skydivers. Then, they stopped “dropping”, and moved along with the mother ship, in a roughly North-South orientation.

The four UFOs moved slowly, in more or less the same North-South direction. The larger one was the “pyramid” shaped one, with the three “stars” following. Then, I noticed more of the “star” UFOs. I saw about 7-8 more. They were in a second group, behind the first four, but all moved about the same direction and roughly the same speed. Sometimes, some of the UFOs would stop, and be stationary for a while, but eventually they mostly moved off in the same North-South direction. After some minutes, one of the “star” UFOs suddenly moved at VERY high speed, in the opposite direction of the others, Northerly.

During this whole UFO time period, I saw probably about 7 airplanes. That helped me judge the speed and behavior of the UFOs. Most of the UFOs were moving MUCH slower than the aircraft, except for the one “star” UFO that started moving the opposite direction. It was going about four times faster than any of the other aircraft I saw, and some of them were high-altitude jets moving at their normal speed.

Another of the “star” UFOs was moving about 120 degrees away from the direction of the movement of the others (Northeasterly). As it moved away, it slowly turned as it moved, about 90 degrees to the left, so it ended up moving at about a 30 degree angle from the direction of the others (Southeasterly).

Then I saw another group of around 8 “star” UFOs. They were largely moving right-to-left, North-South, as most of the previous UFOs had before. When one or more moved more overhead, again I could see the “pyramid” shape, with the continuously changing orientation. The rest looked like stars. They appeared to move to the South, in the direction of the Sun. I think that they were climbing, as well as moving roughly North-South, as they got close to the Sun.

Later, one of the “star” UFOs moved off at about a 45 degree angle path away from the main direction of most of the UFOs, and disappeared moving in that direction (southeasterly). Then, I saw one of the “star” UFOs moving away from the track of the others: It looked like it was mostly climbing up, away from the path of the previous UFOs. But, this one was changing in visual intensity dramatically. Sometimes, it could barely be seen, but then it changed to very bright, much brighter than any of the other UFOs, then back to looking like a “star”, like most of the other UFOs. It was changing in brightness at random intervals, the whole time I saw this UFO.

After this, I saw one more of the “star” UFOs. In total, the experience lasted about 45 minutes, and I saw about 20 UFO objects.

They weren't weather balloons, airplanes or helicopters. They weren't drones or RC planes, and not anything publicly acknowledged in a current military inventory.

Considering the area that you were residing in, Occam's Razor would lead us to the conclusion that it is secret military stuff being tested, although not so stealthily! Most people these days don't seem to notice anything around them due to the mass use of smartphones etc, so maybe they factor that in to the testing. You definitely saw something and know through experience that it wasn't 'normal'. I have an open mind in these matters so it might well have been something 'other'. If I may ask, had you consumed anything that might alter the way you might perceive visual things ?

Not drinking, not hung over, and not under the influence of anything except an open mind.

I didn't imagine that you would have, but thought i'd ask. Sometimes when I have lain in the sun for a while and open my eyes I can see white/luminous dots or streaks that might be similar to your observations, although these might be attributed to the UV on my eyes even behind closed eyes/glasses. I have also observed in the last few years, floating and stationary shiny objects in the skies, usually attributing them to those large party balloons that have been lost. I've taken some photos, but as always ;-) they are blurry when zoomed in on. There are things that we can't explain, it shouldn't lead to ridicule and you've been open enough to post.

UFO's to us the public at this precise time, but Earth originating UFOs for sure. There has always been weird stuff being tested around those parts. We get to know about it later when these aircraft/drones/whatever become operational. (Although not all do).

I showed the lady sitting next to me. She saw them, but was not interested. I had my phone, but that would have shown nothing. The sun was blazing, and the UFOs were quite small, compared to the sun. The brightness of the sun would have washed out these small and bright UFOs.

Whatever happened to "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas"?

They'll be coming for you...
