Witness illustration. Credit: MUFON A Nevada witness at Las Vegas reported watching a 'giant moth' moving at a constant speed under 50 feet, according to testimony in Case 94461.
The witness was in a front yard at 4:15 a.m. on August 28, 2018.
“Directly across the street I saw a dark, triangular object illuminated by moonlight and streetlight gliding in the air just behind and as high as the streetlight, which would be about 30-40 feet high,” the witness stated. “It was shaped like a giant moth. It was about three feet in diameter. It maintained a constant speed of about 20 mph. I could see the silhouette of it silently gliding in a straight path heading southwest for about 1,000 yards before losing sight of it, and it did not flap any wings. I have searched the Internet for night-flying insects or birds that may have fit the description of this thing, but there are none that size. It was a spooky thing to witness.”
Nevada MUFON State Director Sue Countiss closed this case as an Unknown-Other.
