The 911 call captures genuine fear. Angel tells the dispatcher: "I swear to God this is not a dog. This is actually weird." He describes two large figures in the backyard that "look like aliens. Big eyes, they have big eyes."

What you'll learn
- 1 (02:13) **Why This Cold Case Was Picked Back Up** - Host Steven Deener explains that the Las Vegas aliens story, like the Miami Mall case, went through a natural news cycle and then faded, but he reveals for the first time that there was a deeper, personal reason he stopped covering it.
- 2 (04:08) **The Night of April 30th/May 1st, 2023** - Residents across Nevada, Arizona, and California reported seeing a bright green light flash across the sky, with the Kenmore family in Las Vegas becoming the central figures after their backyard encounter.
- 3 (08:09) **Analyzing the "Bang" Sound** - Deener compares the sound from the Kenmore's doorbell camera to a known sonic boom from an F-16 intercept in Washington D.C. to question whether the sound was a meteor or a collision.
- 4 (11:23) **Previous Forensic Work with Scott Roder** - Deener recounts the extensive forensic analysis done on the Kenmore family's cell phone video by crime scene investigator Scott Roder, who identified a cloaked figure peeking over the fence.
- 5 (17:15) **The 911 Call and Police Response** - The raw 911 call from Angel Kenmore is played, revealing his genuine fear as he describes seeing "eight foot... nine foot, ten foot" creatures with "big eyes" that "look like aliens."
- 6 (19:28) **Connecting the Dots to the Miami Mall Case** - Deener notes the striking similarities between the Las Vegas case and the Miami Mall case that occurred seven months later, including 8-10 foot creatures, big eyes, and cloaking abilities.
- 7 (22:21) **Body Cam Footage: A Missing Puzzle Piece** - Deener plays extended audio of the police interacting with the Kenmore family and their neighbors, showing the officers were intrigued and taking the report seriously, but the full body cam footage has never been released.
