Las Vegas family who claimed to have seen aliens in their backyard are now in LOCKDOWN at their home

The Las Vegas family, who claim to have seen aliens in their backyard, say they are now locking up their property after being threatened by people who believe they are engaging in an “elaborate hoax.”

The family, who refused to reveal their identities, told NewsNation off-camera that they are “anxious and scared” and are now unwilling to leave their home.

The father and two sons, who stand by their story, called 911 on April 30 and said there were “10 foot aliens” in their backyard and they had seen an object fall from the sky.

A Vegas police officer also picked up a green object in the sky, which has since been explained as a meteor by the American Meteor Society.

“There is a person 2.5 meters tall next to it and another one inside us [sic] and it’s got big eyes and it’s looking at us — and it’s still there,” the unnamed family’s son told police on the call.

The sighting, now explained as a meteor, was captured on bodycam footage from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department

‘In my backyard. I swear to God this isn’t a joke, this is actually — we’re terrified,” the caller claimed.

‘They are very big. They are about 8 feet, 9 feet, 10 feet. They look like aliens to us. Big eyes. They have big eyes. For example, I can’t explain it. And big mouth. They are shiny eyes and they are not human. They are 100 percent not human,” he claimed.

The responding officers expressed their trepidation at the strange occurrences.

“I’m so nervous right now,” a cop can be heard saying to his partner on their bodycam footage.

“I got butterflies, man – saw a shooting star and now these people are saying there are aliens in their backyard.”

“I don’t believe in it, but what I’ve seen now, I do believe in it,” one of the reported witnesses told police.

Robert Lunsford of the American Meteor Society told Newsnation of the light “it was a meteor, which was larger than normal, probably the size of a basketball to a beach ball, traveling at tremendous speed and when it hits the atmosphere it starts it to vaporize and that friction causes a very bright flash.

“We’re confident it’s a meteor because of the duration of the event, almost everyone reported it lasted between two and five seconds.

Officers on scene expressed their fear

Police searched the area and interviewed witnesses, but no new information was found

“That’s way too fast to be a returning satellite or a rocket, and the fact that it was seen over such a wide area is a damn good indication it was a fireball.”

However, Ryan Burns, podcaster and founder of Space Wolf Research, is one of those who believe the family’s story.

He told Newsnation that his own research in nearby Lake Mead suggests an alien landing.

The American Meteor Society says they are almost certain the green light on the police footage was a meteor.

The area of ​​the alleged sighting was searched and the witnesses questioned, but no new information was found.

The LVPD has since closed the case.

The incident received attention after a former intelligence officer turned whistleblower recently claimed that the US has a trove of parts and equipment from UFOs of “non-human origin” that have crash-landed on Earth.

David Charles Grusch said the US and other countries are also involved in top secret operations trying to “reverse engineer” the pieces to create weapons.

But Grusch also claims the information was illegally withheld from Congress because the administration tried to hide the finds, implicating an “80-year arms race” to profit from the technology.

He told The Debrief, “We’re not talking prosaic origins or identities. The material includes intact and partially intact vehicles.

“The existence of complex historical programs for the coordinated search and study of exotic material, dating back to the early 20th century, should no longer be a secret.”

Grusch, who served in Afghanistan and worked for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), turned over details of the alleged operations to Congress and the Intelligence Community’s Inspector General.

He has also filed a complaint against the Ministry of Defense, claiming he was banned for his decision to whistle.

The 36-year-old worked with the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force from 2019-2021.
