Description: The observer was reported to be traveling
northbound on State Highway 95, one-quarter of a mile southeast
of the Ann Road overpass. The vehicle was traveling in a
northwest direction at a speed of 60 mph. Weather was clear,
winds variable from the northwest at 10-15 mph. The sun was
close to the horizon, behind the mountains surrounding Mount
Charleston and at a 45 degree angle relative to the observer's
direction of view. The observer sighted eight very bright lights
("like the lights of a stadium") stationary above the overpass
directly ahead. As the vehicle continued traveling to the
orthwest, the observer realized that the lights were much
further away. They appeared to be hovering 200 to 250 feet above
a low rise in the valley near the border of the Paiute Indian
Reservation about 5 to 7 miles northwest of the Ann Road
Overpass. The lights were reported to be white in color, without
definition, and in a pattern of four above and four below and
parallel to the ground ( forming a  =  pattern). There were no
navigation lights or movement noted. The formation spanned a
width of about ten degrees in the sky. One mile to the northwest
of Ann Road (and about one minute of observation time) the
observer made a right-hand turn onto Centennial Parkway then a
left-hand turn onto the service road which runs alongside
Highway 95. The observer again noted the position of the lights
directly in front of them, but also noticed the top row of
lights were beginning to become dimmer. Suddenly, the top row
blinked out. About 10 seconds later, the bottom row disappeared
(" like the stadium lights had been turned off"). At that point,
the observer estimated their distance to be about 4 miles. The
observer also noticed that several other motorists had pulled
off the road, gotten out and were also looking at the objects.
Curiously, nothing has been mentioned in the local media and, so
far, no other witnesses have come forward. These lights were
bright enough to be seen over the entire Las Vegas Valley, even
during the daytime. Yet, only a handful of witnesses appeared to
have noticed...and they aren't talking. A thorough check of
airtraffic, both civilian and military ( this area is about
15-20 miles west of Nellis AFB and is under a military air
corridor) has revealed no known aircraft in the immediate area
at that time. Anyone else out there heard about this?
