There was a tragic happening on Oct 1 in Las Vegas in 2017, where 58 people were killed at a concert, and one year later, they held a get together / memorial/ concert and this appeared in the sky that day over Las Vegas Healing Garden, I don’t know if this photographer was at the concert, but my cousin was and showed me a picture of the sky like this. It had a great affect on the entire crowd.
