Regarding the Las Vegas article posted to this list regarding reflections
seen on mountainside near Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Review-Journal has a
followup article the next day explaining the light:
Mysterious mountain lights generating power for police. - "A
mysterious reflective object that Las Vegans have reported seeing on
the mountains north of the city is no mystery to the Metropolitan
Police Department. ." - Article - By Keith Rogers - Published: 6/25/97

The photo in the print version shows the reflection on the summit of
Gass Peak. I noticed it myself the day of the first article. It is a
very prominent light visible from most of Las Vegas. It has been
there for years, but only now have people noticed it -- probably
because of the recent Arizona UFO publicity. (I must have looked
directly at it hundreds of times myself and never seen it.)

AP-UFO Sighting?
Police report calls of strange sightings north of Las Vegas
(Las Vegas) -- Even as the Air Force releases a report hoping to
put one U-F-O story to rest -- there are new sightings.
They took place near the Nevada site that U-F-O buffs know as
the government's top-secret Area 51.
Las Vegas police report ''quite a few calls'' last night from
people who saw strange lights in the skies. They were seen
northwest of the city, in the direction of the secret base.
A police dispatcher says she and her family were among those who
spotted the mysterious object. She says it was like a pyramid or
V-shaped wedge, with pulsating yellow lights.
There also have been reports from Phoenix of odd-shaped lights
hovering above the city in a boomerang formation earlier this year.

====== nv-briefs-1st-MORE update at Jun 24 5:45 PDT ======
(LAS VEGAS)- Once again a strange ball of light and a string-like
cloud appeared in the western sky above Las Vegas last evening. And like
last year, the ball of light was a Minuteman-two missile fired from the
Vandenberg Air Force Base near Santa Barbara. The Air Force says upper
atmosphere winds moved the rocket's smoke trail around forming a strange
pattern in the sky that could be seen all over the Las Vegas Valley.
====== nv-briefs-1st-MORE update at Jun 25 5:57 PDT ======
(LAS VEGAS)- Monday night, some Las Vegas residents saw lights in
the sky and it was immediately dubbed a UFO. Today however the mystery has
been solved. Las Vegas police installed a new radio transmitter on the
top of Mount Gass and several flat silver colored solar panels were also
installed to supply electrical power. It seems that when the sun is just
the right position in the sky a certain part of the Valley can see a
reflection from the panels just after the sun has set.
