UFO seen as a bright meteor over Las Vegas

Summary

An air traffic control officer in Las Vegas, Nevada, reported a circular object the size of a silver dollar, white to light green with a trail of sparks. The witness compared it to a meteor, but noted it was the brightest he had ever seen. The object moved from northwest to northeast and disappeared behind the mountains. Although considered a large meteor, confirmation from observatories was not possible due to cloudy conditions.

The report classifies the event as likely astronomical, though other explanations were not ruled out. Several witnesses agreed on the description, but there were no photos or radar to support the account. The officer mentioned having seen between 10 and 15 meteors in the past six months, but this case stood out for its intensity and brightness.
