Police officers in Las Vegas were left scratching their heads when they responded to a call from a family who claimed that there were a pair of aliens in their backyard. The bizarre incident, which came to light this week, reportedly began shortly before midnight on April 30th when a bright object was seen falling from the sky. Captured on a police officer's body camera, the curious event became even weirder around an hour later when a family in the city phoned 911 and relayed an astounding story. According to the caller, something landed in their backyard and two beings that appeared to be aliens had exited the object.
"There’s like an 8-foot person beside it and another one is inside," he said, "and it’s looking at us." Sensing that the dispatcher might not take the call seriously, the bewildered witness declared "I swear to God this is not a joke" and indicated that the family was "terrified" by what they were seeing. He went on to muse that "they look like aliens to us" and described the beings as having large, shiny eyes. Despite the sheer strangeness of the situation, authorities took the matter seriously and dispatched officers to the home to investigate. In body camera footage from one of the cops, he can be heard marveling "everyone saw a shooting star, then these people say there’s aliens in their backyard."
When police arrived on the scene around a half hour later, the beings and their craft had apparently departed, though the family were unwavering in their account of what had happened with a separate witness telling the cops that he had seen a "creature" that stood around ten feet tall. Officers even went so far as to stop a car that was driving down the road and asked the driver if they had seen the object fall from the sky. "I would normally discount it as probably not real," he explained, "however seeing as one of my partners said they saw it too, the only reason I’m investigating it further."
Ultimately, the police departed the home without any answers as to what had occurred, though they seemed to believe that the family's account was genuine. "You guys seem like legit scared so I don’t blame you," one officer told them and, as they were leaving the property, joked with them, "if those 9-foot beings come back, don’t call us alright?" Although the family says that authorities returned to the home multiple times over the next few days to investigate the matter, what exactly unfolded that night remains a mystery.
