Multiple Silent Lights Seen Near Red Rock Canyon
On May 2, 2026, between about 1:40 AM and 3:40 AM, two of us were hiking near Cottonwood Canyon, outside Las Vegas past Red Rock Canyon.
We noticed several silent lights moving in unusual ways above the area. At first they could have been mistaken for drones, aircraft, or satellites, but they made no sound and did not move in a normal straight path.
There appeared to be around five to seven objects. Some moved in circles, shifted back and forth, disappeared behind the hills, then seemed to return along a similar path. A few looked brighter than planets and seemed to pulse rather than blink.
Later, from a hillside near Red Rock, I saw more flashing lights moving together across the sky. Their movement felt coordinated, but I could not identify what they were.
