Overview
A Reddit post has renewed discussion about whether unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) can be “invited” through intentional contact—and whether a video presented as evidence of such an encounter is authentic. The discussion centers on a report from ABC 13 Action News involving a Las Vegas man who called himself Prophet Yahweh, or the “Seer of Yahweh.” He claimed to possess the ability to summon UFOs on command, but the material provided does not include independently verified evidence establishing either the phenomenon or the authenticity of the footage.
The Claim
According to the report, Prophet Yahweh told reporter Mike Dello Stritto that his alleged ability originated from studying the Old Testament in its original Hebrew. He said he had kept the ability secret for approximately 25 years. To demonstrate his claim, Yahweh met Dello Stritto and photojournalist Jonathan Hawkins at Doolittle Park near Lake Mead, where the news crew attempted to observe a summoned object firsthand.
During the encounter, Yahweh prayed and asked for a sighting. The summary states that he specifically requested the event as proof that he was not “mentally ill” or a “false prophet.” Shortly afterward, a small white speck reportedly appeared in the sky. When the camera zoomed in, the object appeared as an orange or white sphere. The report described the sky as clear and characterized the object as moving quickly and seemingly appearing without warning.
What the Reported Footage Shows
Dello Stritto said the object appeared to travel toward Nellis Air Force Base before moving back in the direction of the group. It eventually disappeared, which the reporter interpreted as though it had moved “back up into space.” The available summary does not provide technical information about the recording, including the camera’s specifications, distance estimates, flight-path analysis, or independent review of the imagery.
Those omissions are significant when assessing unusual aerial footage. A distant point of light can be difficult to identify without reliable data about its size, speed, altitude, direction, and movement relative to the camera. Atmospheric effects, aircraft, balloons, satellites, birds, and optical artifacts can all complicate visual observations. The report’s account documents what the participants said they saw, but it does not establish the object’s origin or demonstrate that it responded to the prayer.
Official Response and Online Questions
Action News reportedly contacted Nellis Air Force Base for comment but had not received a response by the time of the broadcast. The absence of a response does not confirm or disprove the claim. Likewise, Dello Stritto’s admission that he was initially skeptical but later baffled reflects his personal reaction rather than an independent identification of the object.
The Reddit post extends the story by asking whether UAPs can be intentionally invited and whether the accompanying video is genuine. No supporting evidence or verified analysis is included in the supplied content. Prophet Yahweh predicted that additional sightings would occur in the following weeks, including an event visible to the wider Las Vegas area. Such predictions would require documented follow-up observations and independent corroboration before they could be evaluated as evidence of a repeatable phenomenon.
