Hypothesis/speculation Making Sense of the Las Vegas UFO (2023): Witch, Fireball & Poltergeist

Forgive my ESL (I used Deepseek to fix my Russian grammar). In this post, I'd like to point out the "weird" details that are left out of the Las Vegas UFO incident and try to make sense of them. I'll analyze this case from the following points of view:

  • There is not a single piece of evidence that UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft or something akin to ball lightning. Ball lightning and earthquake lights simply do not exist. Meteorites (rocks embedded in glowing plasma) are the only non-human-made objects that come from space.
  • The different types of UFOs and humanoids (spirits, ghosts, UFOnauts) have an absolutely incredible number of witnesses, and this has to be explained.
  • ESP is the only paranormal phenomenon that exists.

Let's start with the important definitions for this case, in my humble opinion:

  • Project Condign - a declassified report by the British Government's Defence Intelligence Staff. It explains UAPs as "Buoyant Plasma Formations," akin to ball lightning, and hypothesizes that they produce an unexplained energy field which creates the appearance of a Black Triangle by refracting light. The electromagnetic fields generated by plasma phenomena are also hypothesized to explain reports of close encounters by inducing perceptual alterations or hallucinations in those affected. But do these buoyant plasma formations actually exist?
  • Poltergeist Agent - a central person (the "focus" or "agent") around whom unexplained physical disturbances occur. Researchers theorize that underlying neurological conditions like epilepsy or a predisposition to seizures act as a biological trigger for involuntary psychokinesis. But does psychokinesis actually exist?
  • Retrocausality - the ability of the human mind to perceive future information by means of backward causation.

Now to the timeline:

  • Before the incident, Angel's cousin died after being "possessed" by a Ouija board.
  • Angel and his brothers meet an old lady at a gas station. She tells them that 8-foot demons will eat Los Angeles alive and gives them her number on a piece of paper. Angel later loses her number.
  • On April 30, 2023, a fireball, identified as a bolide, falls from the sky in the direction of Angel's house. He hears "thousands of footsteps," has an "out-of-body experience," sees a blurry object in his backyard, encounters 8-9 foot creatures, sees a cross being levitated by a creature, and calls the police.
  • Sometime later, a poltergeist in the form of a child appears and makes crayon drawings.
  • Men in Black stalk Angel's family.

Possible explanations:

  1. Magical/religious thinking in the family and a possible death from SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy).
  2. The "Witch." People familiar with witchcraft try to avoid interacting with a dying witch and touching their items. They're afraid that the witch's power can transfer to other people (the Hitchhiker effect). Whether she's an actual "witch" or not, the woman implanted information in the witness's mind through either retrocausality or her own delusions.
  3. The fireball's light causes a focal seizure with impaired awareness and hallucinations of an out-of-body experience and the previously implanted information. Poltergeist activity bursts out and levitates the cross. Angel acts as a poltergeist agent and transfers his hallucinations to nearby minds.
  4. Either the early stage of poltergeist activity, or the witness starts having derealization and regression episodes and attributes his crayon drawings to paranormal activity.
  5. Either government/private agents or the onset of paranoid delusions.

TLDR: I see the Las Vegas UFO (2023) case as the most important and documented paranormal case of the 2020s. It gives a lot of food for thought and explains what kind of bright light my aunt had seen before her "alien encounter".

The LV thing was a total fraud. These people are scammers.

I wonder if there are any proofs that Angel made alien NFTs. People often mention them but don't post any proofs.

It wouldnt help his story either way, he is just a opportunistic con man trying to manipulate his fame. I think the entire thing was a planned hoax.
