The US Navy has confirmed that the mysterious “meteor” was a scheduled Trident II ballistic missile test flight. Cmdr. Ryan Perry of the Navy’s Third Fleet said in a statement that the rocket was launched from the Kentucky Ohio-class submarine in the Pacific Test Range off the coast of Southern California.
Initial media reports did suggest that the object was in fact of earthly origin. The Orange County Sheriff’s Department tweeted that “Light seen in OC sky was confirmed through JWA [John Wayne Airport] tower to be a Naval test fire off the coast. No further details.”
Furthermore, Los Angeles County Lost Hills Station issued a traffic alert saying that “lights and lasers can be seen from beach and coastline” due to “military exercises off of Catalina Island.”
There is “no need to call 911,” the message said.
“Oh my God! It looks like a UFO! What is going on?!” cried a frightened female observer in a clip posted by @sav_hilde on Twitter.
While another witness was quick to nail the nature of the event saying “This is Donald Trump!”
