USGS reports false earthquake detection in Nevada

The USGS, which studies earthquakes, said their computer system made a mistake.

It told people there was a big earthquake near a place called Dayton in Nevada.

But it turned out there was no earthquake at all.

The USGS said the report was wrong and called it a 'bogus event.'

It's like when a smoke alarm goes off by mistake, but there's no fire.

The USGS is checking to make sure their system doesn't make this kind of mistake again.
