earthquake las vegas rumored to be caused by secret underground military testing, experts say no.
A viral video claiming that a minor tremor felt in Las Vegas was actually triggered by secret underground military tests has exploded across social media, with users sharing shaky clips of ceiling fans swaying and dogs barking. The clip, viewed over 2 million times in 24 hours, features a purported "whistleblower" alleging that "Operation Silent Thunder" is responsible for the seismic activity. However, the U.S. Geological Survey and local seismologists have debunked the claim, stating the event was a natural 2.4 magnitude quake with an epicenter 30 miles northwest of the Strip, and no evidence supports military involvement. Officials urge the public to rely on verified data from agencies like the Nevada Seismological Laboratory, not unsubstantiated rumors.
