Okay how is it that most of the "UFO" sightings are in Nevada and mostly Nevada only?! Maybe Nevada has some sort of Auroras or maybe they are facing a galaxy in space that has alot of shooting start and activity in space! Gosh everyone who see's a light in the sky swear its a UFO! and oh yeah every UFO tape there is, is always blurry, unclear, or something is wrong with it!! and why did they but the gray circle around it in the one video? Maybe because it was FAKE!! but oh well if it makes you happy then you can believe that you have seen many UFO's.

Why is it when people say they have seen something in the sky that they cannot identify,other people assume that they must have been mistaken? What if there was something in the sky that was unexplainable? Why is it when people see strange objects in the sky, and report their sighting,we never hear about that story again?

how is it they always have lights? They can travel across the universe,evade our most advanced technollogy, but they fly with lights on.

I live in Eastern Nevada and for all of you who claim that the video was a streelight or a pedestrian sign, I can assure you that the closest streetlight to the areas that are reported upon are at least 100-200 miles away and there are NO pedestrian signs. By the way there are no lightning bugs out here. Please fact check before you disregard. None of these people are claiming that they saw aliens or alien life forms, but keep in mind that we are very close to Area 51, which is a government test facility!

I'm from Las Vegas and as a kid, used to see UFO craft almost every time I traveled north out of Vegas towards Reno, Elko, etc. at night; I now live in n. Idaho where I see similarly unidentifiable craft at the rate of about once a year. And no, there are no streetlights within miles of where I live. I have never turned in to Mufon or the authorities reports of my sightings,my last being a very large V-shaped craft on Interstate 90 five miles east of Couer D'Alene last November,which was witnessed by a number of people in numerous cars at the same time, dusk.There is no point in bringing scorn and disdain upon one's self for making a report. The cops,and the air force already know. The ones that I consider memorable are the ones that seem to break all known physical laws; IMO they cannot be of our known technology.Also, as with my last sighting,all who saw the craft,including several UFO disbelievers,all agreed that what we saw was not any known craft,and there was a strangeness to it

I have to say, I am really amazed at these idiots who truly believe that in the vastness of all of the Universes out there, they think humans are the only intelligent race??? Give me a break. I have lived in Nevada all of my life, and I have seen some serious UFO action in the time I have been alive. If it makes you people less scared to believe these things are street lights, then more power to you, but why do you have to put other people down because it happens to be something you don't believe in??? Very sad. I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that we are NOT the only intelligent beings in just this Universe, let alone all the other ones out there. What a huge ego some people have to believe that they are the only beings in existence in the galaxies. LOL!!! Oh, and by the way. we do not have lightening bugs, but we do have bats. Sorry, those were not bats. I have had allot of experience with those also. Nevada has always been known for strange sightings. My parents saw things also.

I live about 2 hours north of Wells, Nevada. and have been seeing strange lights at night for the last couple months. Twice in October and Twice in November. Nothing recent though. I have seen many aircraft in my 34 years being the son of a army pilot and myself being a pilot for 6 years. And what i have been seeing ARE NOT PLANES OR JETS!! what they are exactly I do not know!! It is really important that more people come forward with there u.f.o experiences its the only thing that will shine light on the subject!! The U.S Government has not and will not admit to the existence of extraterrestrial life!! And probably never will..

My 2 boys age 13 and 14 were vacationing in central nevada. We were camping out in the desert and while sitting around the fire at night i noticed a red light appear off in the distance. I said look at that and we all saw it slowly fade, after a minute we saw another in the same direction and it faded this went on 5 or 6 times. Then it appeared again but this time from each side of it red lights of the same size came out like pearls on a string about 9 lights in all lined up in a row. I said to the boys I'm gonna flash my flashlight at it and right away they both said no! all we had to sleep in was the camper shell on my pickup and when we went to bed i made sure the latches were closed and locked the best i could but have to admit i was a bit scared. It was hard to go to sleep because i knew those lights were acting in a way that they wanted us to see them. This happened in approx. early may 2002. I have read reports recently of similar sightings and wanted to tell of my sighting.

Why is it that we don't see a perfectly clear snapshot of a UFO or and alien? It's always blurred, out of focus & so on. I will believe in one when it actually lands in the middle of Times Square in Ny in broad day light. And if the alien wants to come out & waves...well that will be a plus.

Finally! Proof that ghosts from the Bermuda Triangle are gathering for the pole flip of 2012, as predicted by Hitler's astrologer AND the Bible Code! Seriously, what ARE you people smoking?

Seeking Treasures I would like to contact you. I also live in St Louis. You are one of the few that seems like a rational believer. I am sickend by the attitude of most of the "comments". Also, to Bevets, all things are possible!

Hmmm Why are people commenting "street lights". Where does the article imply there are street lights in the vicinity of the sightings. People not having witness the event are projecting the total extent of their experiences to fit the event. My impression is the sightings are in an isolated area with no lights. At least the people who witness the sightings are saying they do not know what it was but, it was something they had never seen before.

I've seen this hundreds of times. You've got a streetlight, which attracts insects. And the moving, "blinking" light near the street light? Yeah, that's the BAT that's EATING THE INSECTS. Again, I've seen it hundreds of times. It looks exactly the same as this "UFO sighting"...
