KLAS-TV

KLAS-TV, known as 8 News Now, is a CBS-affiliated television station founded in 1953 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. It is a civilian commercial broadcaster. Key activities include investigative journalism, notably through its I-Team, which has extensively covered UAP/UFO topics, government programs like AATIP and AAWSAP, and related disclosures. The station aired pioneering UFO series in the 1980s-1990s exposing alleged government cover-ups, CIA infiltration of UFO groups, and Project Blue Book debunking efforts. In recent years, it reported on secret Las Vegas-based UFO research funded by Senator Harry Reid via Bigelow Aerospace, including the world's largest UFO database, health effects on witnesses, and proposals like Kona Blue. KLAS-TV published key documents, such as a 2009 Reid letter on AATIP, and featured interviews with scientists like Dr. McCaskey and Jacques Vallée. Notable achievements include breaking stories on Pentagon UFO studies, paranormal events in government programs, and pushing for disclosure. It remains active, producing ongoing UFO investigations as of 2025.
