Overview
Late night April 30–May 1, 2023, a Las Vegas Metro PD (LVMPD) officer’s bodycam caught a bright green object streaking overhead. ~40 minutes later, a nearby family called 911, reporting a crash and “8–10 foot, not human” beings in their backyard. Officers responded, searched the property, and later placed temporary cameras—then closed the case as unfounded after finding no evidence. National outlets amplified the story; a year later, a forensic video examiner claimed the family’s backyard clip is “authentic” (i.e., not edited), which keeps debate alive without proving what it shows.
