Something was sighted over Oneida, New York and headed westward. There
were reports from Kansas and Colorado, and indications of something that
neared the ground near Eureka, Utah. The object was seen over Reno,
Nevada, then turned toward Las Vegas. It then turned east again and

Mr. and Mrs. Robert K. checked into their vacation suite at the Luxor
Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Their high-rise suite offered a view of
McCarran Airport. At 5:45 p.m., while her husband was downstairs, Mrs. K
stepped onto the balcony and shot two color photographs.
Later, "when I came back to the room," Bob said, "she was getting dressed in the other room, and I was watching the air traffic from the window. I noticed a plane cross over controlled airspace on an outbound heading. Then I noticed above it at at least double the altitude aircraft coming from the east on a due westerly heading. The closer they got, I realized that they were flying echelon formation just a little too precise. When the lead craft decelerated, the others kept an exact distance between them. They eventually came to a complete stop and, to my amazement, hovered."
Calling for his wife to come and see this, Bob estimated that the UFOs "hovered at an altitude of 8,000 to 10,000 feet. She handed me the camera, and I set the lens on zoom. You could clearly see the ridges on the craft. The craft was ascending slowly and getting smaller through the viewfinder. I did take a picture, and I could see the whole right side of the UFO with the sun glaring off of it."

At 5:45 p.m., a black or dark gray spheroid UFO flew west out of the
desert and passed over Sparks, Nevada. The UFO was described as about 60
feet in diameter with a bright white light in the bottom hemisphere. The
beam from the light, however, was not bright enough to reach the ground.
Crossing into the city of Reno, the UFO flew over Paradise Park and headed
west along Oddie Boulevard until it reached the Livestock Events Center,
just north of Interstate 80 and a mile or so north of downtown Reno and
city hall. A Reno P.D. cruiser spotted the UFO and halted. One officer
called for backup. A second cruiser arrived at 5:52 p.m. Several civilian
eyewitnesses also approached the spot and watched the hovering UFO. One
witness reportedly shot four minutes of videotape with a camcorder before
the object abruptly vanished. When this sighting was reported on Reno TV
stations, the UFO was said to be a "runaway weather balloon."
