A UFO hunter from Las Vegas, Nevada, recently captured on camera a bright orb UFO moving silently, skimming the top of mountains near his neighborhood. The UFO eventually landed at the base of a mountain near the UFO hunter’s home.

Footage uploaded to YouTube on March 19, 2016, by Steven Barone, shows a bright orb UFO in the sky above the mountain closest to the UFO hunter’s home. The UFO was less than two miles from Barone’s home when he began filming it.

He filmed the bright, glowing orb in the sky as it drifted closer to his home, and being an experienced UFO hunter, he could tell it was not a helicopter or an airplane because it appeared only as a bright, glowing orb with no structures or engine sounds similar to a man-made aircraft.

He continued filming the UFO as it descended and eventually landed on the ground near the mountain. The lights of the UFO went out as it neared the ground. But he could still see the UFO in his camera lens as it descended towards the base of the mountain because of the strong moonlight.

It descended silently after its lights went out, and according to Barone, it landed at a spot close to the base of the mountain.

Although he was unable to see the UFO in the dark after it landed at the base of the mountain, he watched for several minutes while it lurked silently in the dark at the base of the mountain.

The UFO hunter could not guess what the UFO was doing on the ground at the base of the mountain.

After several minutes the UFO took off from the ground. Barone saw it briefly before it disappeared again, apparently returning to the ground at the base of the mountain.

It rose to the air again after several minutes and was just visible above the rooftops of houses in the UFO hunter’s neighborhood. As the UFO rose higher in the air, Barone noticed that there were now two UFOs flying side-by-side.

He watched as the objects disappeared in the night.

The UFO hunter claimed that was not the first time that he had seen a bright orb UFO flying over the mountains near his Las Vegas neighborhood but it was the first time that one came so close to his home.

UFO blogger Scott Waring suggested that the orb was an alien UFO and that it approached Barone’s home probably out of curiosity. The aliens manning the orb may have noticed that he was watching them.

“These alien orbs can sense that you see them, but this one seems curious about Steven himself,” Waring writes.

Several UFO enthusiasts have remarked about the recent increase in sightings of bright or glowing orb UFOs thought to be robotic alien probes carrying out clandestine surveillance as though familiarizing themselves with the lay of the land in preparation for planned future manned missions and landings.

The Inquisitr reported in April that a resident of Spokane Valley in Washington told the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) that he sighted and filmed a bright orb UFO at about 7 p.m. on January 16, 2016. The UFO had paused mid-flight, hovered in the air for some minutes before releasing an orb that floated to the ground.

According to the witness’s testimony filed as Case 53762 in the MUFON’s archives, the UFO flew away and disappeared after dropping the orb (see video below).

Many UFO researchers thought the Spokane Valley resident may have witnessed an alien robotic probe releasing a detachable landing module.

Another group of witnesses at a location about a mile away from the first witness corroborated the report. The reporting witness told MUFON that at about 7 p.m. on January 16, 2016, he saw a bright, glowing orb that appeared to drop a “landing pod” before flying away.

Earlier on Christmas Eve, 2013, three unrelated witnesses gave identical and mutually corroborating accounts about the sighting of a glowing orb UFO that dropped a landing pod over Boise, Idaho.

According to the first witness in a report filed as Case 52934 in the MUFON reporting database, a glowing orb UFO dropped a smaller orb to the ground at about 9:15 a.m. on December 24, 2013 (see video below).

An unrelated witness at a nearby location in Boise also reported (Case 52930) sighting a glowing orb that dropped a smaller orb about half its size at 9:15 p.m.

A third witness (Case 52942) also in Boise, reported an identical sighting on the same day.

The witness in the sighting at Spokane Valley said he and his family had witnessed the same UFO several times in the past. It seemed the UFO had been conducting surveillance flights in preparation for landing a pod.

Open Minds also reported a case in which a witness from Aitkin County claimed repeated sightings of an orb UFO over several days. According to the witness in a testimony filed as Case 50785, she saw the same object, a glowing orb, every night for several days. The witness finally filmed the UFO on September 12, 2013 (see video below).

Yet another witness in Chalfont, Pennsylvania, (Case 51842) reported a UFO that returned five times over a three-week period (see video below).

The slew of disturbingly similar reports of mysterious, bright and glowing orbs dropping “landing pods” over locations across the U.S. has caused UFO researchers to raise an alarm that a stealth invasion of Earth by possibly hostile alien races may be underway.

According to members of the UFO community, the remarkably similar sightings reported from across the country suggest that alien invaders are secretly planting sleeper cells across the world.

The latest reported sighting in Las Vegas, according to conspiracy theorists, is the first in which an entire orb landed on Earth rather than simply drop a pod.

UFO experts believe the orb may have been a manned alien spacecraft and that the alien astronauts may have landed only long enough to collect samples for testing.
