(NewsNation) — The Las Vegas teenager who claimed something crashed in his backyard last year, prompting a 911 call about “nonhuman” beings, is speaking out for the first time.
Angel Kenmore, 17, said in an exclusive interview with NewsNation national correspondent Alex Caprariello that he saw a “giant creature” who he believes may have been a “demon” but “only God knows.”
Kenmore said he felt paralyzed after looking at the entity for about 30 seconds. He remembers closing his eyes and praying for it to go away.
“It was moving and breathing. It was pissed off, like it wanted to do something looking at me. I remember he was growling,” Kenmore said.
Despite receiving numerous threats, Kenmore and the rest of his family have stood by their original report from April 30. 2023,
“They can think whatever they want,” Kenmore told NewsNation. “If I was doing it for fame, I would be on YouTube. I made no money off this. I don’t need money. It was a really bad and traumatizing experience.”
Police body camera footage from the Metro Las Vegas police footage shows a flash across the sky the night of the family’s sighting, adding intrigue to the mystery, NewsNation local affiliate KLAS reported.
The American Meteor Society says they are sure it was a meteor that caused that streak in the night sky, with 21 reported sightings of it stretching across California, Nevada and Utah.
“We’re certain it was a meteor because of the duration of the event,” said Robert Lunsford, of the American Meteor Society. “Most everybody reported it lasted between two and five seconds, and that’s much too fast to be a reentering satellite or a rocket.”
Claims of a UFO, aliens and military activity have all been viewed in a different light since Pentagon whistleblower Dave Grusch, in an interview with NewsNation, alleged a covert crash retrieval program of nonhuman spacecraft.
