Police put up surveillance cameras at house where ‘aliens landed’
A mysterious incident that allegedly involved the sighting of two tall alien creatures in Las Vegas on May 1 has been making headlines globally. The story broke by Doug Poppa, a former police officer turned podcaster based in Vegas, has stirred up considerable intrigue among UFO enthusiasts. Poppa first revealed on May 18 that the police department had received a report of aliens in the city. He then interviewed the family who claimed to have seen two non-human entities and also saw the police install video surveillance cameras outside the home. Poppa said in an interview with The Post that the family’s version of events “was somewhat credible”. What puzzles him is why the Las Vegas Metro Police Department’s Homeland Security department would install surveillance cameras outside the home after the incident.
The incident occurred just after midnight on May 1, when a family claimed to have seen an object fall from the sky and crash in their backyard, followed by two tall, gray, greenish creatures with big eyes and a big mouth observing them. The sighting was captured on a Las Vegas police officer’s body-cam footage. The American Meteor Society reported that the object’s flash was seen as far as Utah and California. The Gomez family claimed that a perfect circle left in the gravel in their yard was evidence of the landing. The incident took a bizarre turn after Angel Gomez, the 16-year-old who saw the creatures, took to social media with his account of the same.
The Las Vegas police log shows how dispatchers recorded details of the incident. A media spokesman for the LVMPD told The Post that they were preparing a statement about the surveillance cameras, which has not yet been issued. The spokesman did not respond to why Marc Berry, a retired Las Vegas officer who is assisting with the investigation, told cable channel NewsNation that cops only made one visit to the home when the family had claimed that two detectives came after the first two officers responded and two more cops subsequently made another visit.

Surveillance cameras installed by police at the house where ‘aliens landed’
The mysterious object that reportedly fell from the skies above Las Vegas just after midnight on May 1 has turned into an international phenomenon. Even the skeptical ex-cop who broke the story of the alleged UFO and was the first to interview the family who claimed to see tall, alien creatures with “big eyes” isn’t sure it’s a hoax. Las Vegas podcaster Doug Poppa revealed on May 18 how police had received a report of aliens on May 1 and then interviewed the family twice in person. He felt they were somewhat credible, but what puzzled him was why the Homeland Security department of the Las Vegas Metro Police Department (LVMPD) installed video surveillance cameras outside the home after the incident.
Body-cam footage from the LVMPD showed a suspected UFO soaring across the night sky before the family called in a report of something “100% not human” on their property. Angel Gomez, 16, who was in the backyard of his home with his brother “fixing a truck” when they claim to have seen a blurry object fall from the sky and two tall creatures emerge, took to Youtube last week with his own explanation of what happened, and showed video of an object streaking across the sky as well as another video with the sound of something thudding or crashing. His account also included what he said was his family reacting – while speaking Spanish – to what they had allegedly seen crash in their backyard.
Poppa spoke to a neighbor who also heard a loud thud around the time the incident was reported. The Las Vegas police log showed how dispatchers recorded details of the incident. A LVMPD media spokesman said they have no such thing as a “Homeland Security” department until it was pointed out to him that LVMPD lists a Homeland Security department on its website which is run by Deputy Chief Sasha Larkin. The spokesman then said that they were preparing a statement about the surveillance cameras, which has not yet been emailed to The Post. They did not respond to questions about why retired Las Vegas officer Marc Berry, who is assisting with the investigation, told cable channel NewsNation Monday that cops only made one visit to the home when the family has claimed that two detectives came after the first two officers responded and two more cops subsequently made another visit.
John Greenewald, who runs the Black Vault archive and has been investigating what are now called UAPs – or “unidentified aerial phenomena” – since he was 15, said he doesn’t know if what the Vegas family claimed to have occurred May 1 is true or not. But he said the viral story coincided nicely with last week’s report about David Grusch, an Air Force veteran and former intelligence official, claiming the US government has been collecting intact extraterrestrial craft for decades as part of an alleged secret UFO retrieval program. “Unfortunately all of this takes away from legitimate research,” Greenewald said. “The provable reality of whatever it is out there is a lot less sexy to the media than these, sensationalized stories about alien bodies and reverse engineering.”
