Here are the top 3 stories in Reno today:

1. A video of a hidden room in a Reno home went viral on TikTok. The creator of the video was Justine Sidie. While she was visiting her parent's new house, her dad noticed what he thought was a fake wall in the garage. Sidie filmed multiple videos of her and her dad trying to get behind the wall. They discovered that it was a room full of food, medical supplies, and survival kits. The public is still waiting for a more in-depth search of the entire home! (KOLO)
2. Fleischmann Planetarium is hosting its Seventh annual Sci-On! Film Festival this month. The goal of the festival is to "bring science fiction and science documentary short films to audiences in Nevada and around the world and to recognize, reward and showcase creativity, ingenuity and science-based imagination." Today is the last day to participate, so please make sure to grab tickets now! (Nevada Today)
