Cops set up surveillance cameras after family reports crashed UFO and 8-foot tall alien: reports

Las Vegas Police set up surveillance on a home after occupants reported seeing a UFO, followed by the sighting of an "eight-foot person" with "big eyes," according to reports.

A family called 911 and claimed a UFO that had crashed in their backyard and that they had seen a "tall, skinny alien creature with greenish color" that was about eight to 10 feet tall on May 1.

During the incident, police body camera footage also captured a bright light falling from the sky.

Police say they installed cameras on top of the family's home because the family is "afraid for their safety."

"After the initial contact with LVMPD, the family at the residence reported they heard noises in their yard and were afraid for their safety," Las Vegas police said. "We offered to put cameras up to help ease their concerns of someone coming to harass or harm them."

According to NASA, the bright light captured on an officer's body cam was a meteor.
