This year's Burning Man festival was reportedly marred by a string of shocking incidents, from a surprise birth to a possible electrocution, in addition to the homicide of a Russian national at the famous gathering in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert.

A Utah couple who attended Burning Man, held this year from Aug. 24 to Sept. 1, left the festival as new parents and did not even know they were expecting. 

Kayla Thompson, 37, woke up in their recreational vehicle on Aug. 27 with abdominal pain she mistook for cramps, FOX 2 reported, citing her sister-in-law Lacey Paxman.

Thompson, who said she had no idea she was pregnant, gave birth in their RV to their daughter, Aurora, who weighed 3 pounds and 9.7 ounces. Thompson's family said she had experienced a cryptic pregnancy, a rare condition where pregnancy goes unnoticed until late in the term or delivery, according to FOX 2.

Good Samaritans at the festival rushed to assist with the baby's delivery, including an OB-GYN who responded to the scene so quickly that he arrived in his underwear, FOX 2 reported.

"It just shows like nobody cared about getting things in place," Paxman told FOX 2. 
"…Nobody cared what they were wearing or, you know, not wearing. They were just there to help this beautiful miracle, you know, come together so beautifully."

In another startling incident, James "JP" Patrick was meditating on the desert floor on Burning Man's final night when he was reportedly struck by a Tesla Cybertruck. He was airlifted out of the desert and underwent emergency surgery. His wife, Jade Patrick, said she expects to face a $50,000 medical bill for the helicopter transport, news outlet SFGate reported.

Another man was similarly airlifted from this year's Burning Man after he reportedly stepped in a puddle of water and was possibly electrocuted. 

He was brought to an external medical provider for additional treatment, FOX 11 reported.

The incidents have made headlines as authorities continue to investigate the death of Vadim Kruglov, a 37-year-old Russian national who was found "lying in a pool of blood" at the event. Officials have indicated that his death appears to be an isolated incident.

Pershing County Sheriff Jerry Allen's office told Fox News Digital there was "no update" on the case on Sunday. Police have not yet named a suspect in the killing.

The annual Burning Man gathering draws tens of thousands of attendees, turning the desert into a temporary city filled with themed camps, massive art installations and ceremonial fires. Last year, the Pershing County Sheriff's Office reported that 28 people had been arrested at the event, up from 13 arrests in 2023, the Reno Gazette Journal reported.

Burning Man organizers did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Daniel Jones seems to like playing for the Indianapolis Colts, as he led them to a blowout victory over the Miami Dolphins, 33-8, to open the 2025 NFL season.

Jones completed 22 of 29 passes for 272 yards with a touchdown to Michael Pittman Jr. He also had two quarterback sneaks into the end zone for his first rushing scores as the team’s starting quarterback.

Heading into this season, Jones and Anthony Richardson were competing for the starting role, and head coach Shane Steichen eventually named Jones the Week 1 starter. Steichen also showed confidence in Jones by not giving him a short leash.

Jones showed why on Sunday, taking advantage of the Colts’ defense forcing an interception and a fumble on Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins’ offense.

Both turnovers resulted in touchdowns for Indianapolis. Jones threw a strike to Pittman from 27 yards out to make it 10-0, then scored his first rushing touchdown on third-and-goal early in the second quarter to break the game open.

The Colts added another field goal to make it 20-0 at halftime, while Mike McDaniel’s offense showed little life to start the game.

It didn’t help the Dolphins that Jones and the Colts burned more than nine minutes off the clock to start the fourth quarter, using 15 plays before the quarterback powered his way into the end zone again. The 30-0 lead sent the Lucas Oil Stadium crowd into a frenzy on a day when they honored late owner Jim Irsay.

Tagovailoa found De’Von Achane for an 11-yard swing pass to score the team’s first touchdown of the season. However, it was too late to mount a comeback.

Jones spread the ball around, with Pittman leading the way with six catches for 80 yards. Rookie tight end Ty Warren was also effective, tallying seven receptions for 76 yards in his NFL debut.

Jonathan Taylor was his efficient self, totaling 71 rushing yards and 27 receiving yards to boost the Colts’ offense.

On the other side, Tagovailoa went 14 of 23 for 114 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions while being sacked three times. Tyreek Hill had four catches for 40 yards to lead the Dolphins.
