Las Vegas Spooked By Rare Sight In The Sky
People in Las Vegas shared photos of a mushroom-shaped cloud billowing on the horizon on Sunday, with some joking that it reminded them of nuclear tests — one of Sin City’s tourist attractions in the 1950s.
The unnerving sight was apparently made more eerie by rays of the setting sun coloring the cloud various shades of orange.

In 1983 my wife and I were living in Amargosa Valley west of Las Vegas. As I was driving into work for graveyard shift, 11:00pm or so, there was a glow from the east over the mountains. As I kept heading south it kept getting brighter.
Many here likely don't remember, or weren't alive yet, but these were the days of Ronnie, Gorby, Star Wars defense, Cold war, etc. Test site was just a few miles to the north. Nuke tests were common. Kept driving wondering what was going on.
This glow got brighter and brighter, to the point that it took over the eastern sky. As I drove on the only thing that made sense at the time was they had nuked Vegas, about 90 miles away. My mind was a blank. I knew I had to get back to my wife, gather up things and head somewhere. I'm trying to think of just what to gather up and where to go. We lived in the desert, life in the bush is tough in the best circumstances. And this was looking really bad.
As I was cross ways in the road turning around to get back home there was a low spot in the mountains to the east. And I could see the massive glow of a full moon coming up, the light reflecting off of the clouds.
The majority reading this will laugh, call me gullible, stupid, etc. But you weren't there. At that point in my life I was 100% sure we were in a nuclear war. I had no plan, no provisions, no place to go, nothing.
I will never forget those few minutes. The feeling of absolute terror is something never forgotten.
May we never get to that point.
