SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA — The video is stunning. After a few seconds of being just a bright dot in the sky, the object erupts in an ominous, bluish, alien-esque light for close to 30 seconds. In a video that’s now been seen over three million times on YouTube, Julien Solomita (YouTube/JSOLO) rushes to the roof of his building just in time to catch the object that many believed was a UFO.
The mystery light over the ocean that illuminated the night sky on Saturday was, according to the U.S. Navy, a test fire of a Trident II (D5) missile launched from the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine USS Kentucky. The launch, again according to the Navy, was scheduled but not announced due to its classified nature.
The San Diego Union-Tribune newspaper reports that law agencies and media in San Diego were flooded with calls beginning around 6 p.m. that evening with callers reporting seeing everything from a flare to an atomic bomb explosion in the sky. Others reportedly believed it was part of the annual Taurid meteor shower which is currently ongoing, but astronomers immediately dispelled that theory.
While it’s understandable that many U.S. military activities are classified, do you think the U.S. Navy should have at least informed local area authorities so that they could prepare to react to the concerns of thousands who called in?
