UFO SIGHTING AT THE WORLD-FAMOUS SAPPHIRE CLUB IN LAS VEGAS
On the 23rd of December, something shocking happened and was sighted at the World-Famous Sapphire Gentlemen’s Club in Las Vegas. A UFO was hovering above the club and the venue sign for more than an hour. The video of the UFO garnered Sapphire and one of its owners Brett Feinstein (@hotheadbrett), more than 20 million TikTok views in the first few days after posting.
It is possible that with the weather conditions, it was a phenomenon known as “light pillars.” According to one National Weather Service, light pillars are described as the following: Long pillars of multicolored light streaking the sky seems like the perfect backdrop for impending alien invasion, but in reality, light pillars are a common effect that can be found all over the world.
They come from above, not extraterrestrials, but tiny ice crystals hanging in the atmosphere. Ice is fragile, shaped like plates with hexagonal faces. When ice drifts down through the air, it falls close to horizontally. Ice is very reflective, so when light hits those wider faces, it bounces around and reflects off more ice crystals.
Light can come from the sun, moon, cities, street lights, any intense light source. That being said, we at STRIPLV think that any aliens would most certainly patronize the World-Famous Sapphire Gentlemen’s Club in Las Vegas, and we’re sure they had an incredible night doing so.
