I'm a commercial pilot and advance ground instructor. I've had and filmed many UFO's over the years, this is my first report and I will remain anonymous.

Las Vegas, NV Feb 17, 2020 at 3:14 PM UNLV parking lot behind Thomas & Mack Arena, near the Student Center. I checked the pilot weather. Mccarran Airport, a mile away from the sighting, was reporting broken clouds at 25,000 feet AGL. It was a very thin layer. The objects I saw were at or slightly above the cloud layer and smaller than the airliners flying at the same altitude. I saw 7 fire colored objects in a delta formation and the 7th object right behind slot object. It looked like an arrow formation. There were also two white orbs to the left and right off the objects in the wing positions. I did notice there was a rotating white light from some of the 7 fire colored objects, but no green or red lights like you would see on a standard aircraft setup. Then in an instant they all scattered in spilt second reverse directions. Nothing in our military arsenal can make such maneuvers, that I know of! Seconds later 20 or more appeared and disappeared into thin air. It seemed l! ike they phased in and out of this dimension. One fire colored object and one white orb remained, kinda dancing around each other doing crazy maneuvers. At times the fire colored object looked like it had 3 lights on the bottom of it, similar to the triangle shaped UFO I hear about all the time. The white orbs were just pure white plasma like I've seen many times before. Other objects would appear and disappear during the sighting. This went on for exactly 10 minutes. I filmed a lot of it with my phone camera. As good as it films UFO's, this one too high and the sky was too bright. I'm gonna see if I can filter the UFO's out in Photoshop like I've done in the past.

The rotating white light makes me wonder if they were some sort of secret military craft. I'm not that far from Area 51. Maybe it was some kind of joint Alien/Military exercise! Whatever they were, I'd like to pilot one!!
