It's You, What happen? Somebody set up us the bomb. Take off every Zig.

We were standing on the strip just south of the Stratosphere Tower on Las Vegas Blvd. We looked up and saw a large, metallic object. It had flashing lights which had a definite sequence to them. There were about 10 lights in all. They alternated in their flashing sequence from right to left as best we could tell. The UFO must have been 10000 feet or greater. The visibility was clear. It moved up and down and then side to side in an "A" type motion. It changed altitudes quite rapidly and began moving in an "Y" pattern. After a little hovering, it moved in a "B" pattern. Then back to "A". Then back to a "B" pattern. It then moved like a "T", before performing a "U" maneuver and then shooting off in the sky at a high rate of speed. After the incident, my girlfriend turned to me and said, "What you say?" My friends began acting strangely and their speech became quite strange. My other friend said, "You have no chance to save, make your time!!" At this point, the third party in my group said, "Somebody set up us the bomb." I couldn't believe this happened. I hope you can find some information from McCarran for me or maybe Nellis.

S16923 is a hoax.

The strange phrases in report S16923 ("It's You, What happen? Somebody set up us the bomb. Take off every Zig.") are from an old poorly-translated video game called Zero Wing. See http://www.((URL deleted)) for the full story. P.S. The maneuvers 'A', 'Y', 'B', 'A', 'B', 'T', 'U' stands for the phrase "All Your Base Are Belong To Us."

NUFORC Note:

We do not know what B, A, T, and Y maneuvers are. There is a blimp that is tethered just north of the Las Vegas airport. PD
