Today's Article;

Were space invaders drawn to the Strip in March? - Sunday, April 1, 2012 | 2 a.m. - Las Vegas Sun

Now My take:
First I am a BIG believer in life on other planets, and in UFO's, But this one is DEFINITELY Birds or bats, or whatever
flying in and out of the light.

I think they're big moths.

Also found this, but unknown to when this article/newsclip was produced: Luxor Light Attracts Moth Phenomenon

The light attracts bugs and the bugs attract birds. I'd think bats would be more erratic, so doubt if it's bats. Could be, but you can watch birds do this sometimes. Right now birds are returning north from their winter vacations, so might not be a kind we are used to seeing.

Some of the other videos on the YouTube site of lights near Sunrise Mtn. are obviously the lines and lines of hundreds of airplanes that land every day at McCarran, and seem to come in about every 30 seconds, although it's probably more like every 60 seconds. You can see an airplane's lights for miles and miles here in the Valley, and it seems like they are moving so slow you can't really tell if it's a star or a plane unless you watch for five minutes or so.

Of course all manor of Buffs, and other strange craft land and take off at Nellis AFB. And if there is a race, the dozens of helicopters that fly people to the track are never ending throughout the day. Not to mention the obnoxious ones that fly tourists up and down the Strip, or to the Grand Canyon.

But I'm sure every local has noticed that there is never a time, day or night, that you don't see something or other flying over Las Vegas (although I haven't seen the dirigibles or Ford Tri-Motors in a while).

The foo might be more credible if he was literate.

Yes, very eloquent, indeed. I somehow suspect that he is not going to be selected as the next White House Press Secretary.
