So Cal Freaks Over Mysterious Light in the Sky

No. It was not a UFO.

It was a rocket launched from the Point Mugu Naval Base.  The U.S. Coast Guard Sector of Los Angeles and Long Beach confirmed it was a rocket launched from the base.

#OCSDPIO: Light seen in OC sky was confirmed through JWA tower to be a Naval test fire off the coast. No further details.

#LATraffic Alert. Military exercises off of Catalina Island. Lights and lasers can be seen from beach and coastline. No need to call 911

My friend Ian and I just saw this in the sky above east LA. Can anyone explain it? Seriously it was a blue ball of light that spread wider and wider for about a minute then faded as the center continued to travel. Was I abducted!?

And while some may be disappointed that it was not aliens, there is always a chance for that to happen tomorrow night – so keep an eye out.
