When a ball of fire streaked over the Strip, dozens swore aliens had landed. Vegas police rushed to the scene with flashlights, tasers, and a dream to make first contact.
They combed backyards, questioned witnesses, even issued a be‑on‑the‑lookout for “unknown entities, possibly dazzling.” The only thing they caught, however, was national attention and mild ridicule.
Truly, that’s the Vegas spirit: chase the impossible, gamble with credibility, and brace for your meme.
