Location: Las Vegas, NV, USA

Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Left a trail

Bright white light with glowing tail

The sighting happened on Saturday, November 7th at 6:03pm in Las Vegas, NV. My husband and I were driving south on Martin Luther King Blvd., and we had just past Carey when I looked to the right and saw a bright white light to the west. The light was not moving and the sky to the left of the light was illuminated. The light to the left looked like a tail and was glowing, like a cloud or fog.

By the time mu husband could pull over the light had dimmed and I could not get a good picture with my cell phone. I know that we are not the only people who saw the light, as it was visible in Arizona and California as reported by Fox 5 News. Here is the link to the news report that says it could have been a missile test by the Navy in San Diego. I honestly do not believe this is the same light we saw as it did not move.
