SoCal UFO 11/7/15

Griffith Park

Over the weekend a UFO was spotted in the skies over Orange and Los Angeles County.
According to the media and official statements from the U.S. Navy, the object sighted in the sky was
a missile test at sea on Saturday from the USS Kentucky, a ballistic missile submarine. This is according to the Navy Strategic Systems Programs, which Commander Ryan Perry said such launches were conducted on a frequent basis to ensure the continued reliability of the system and that information about such test launches is classified prior to the launch. It is speculated that the test was related to the rerouting of night-time flights into and out of Los Angeles International Airport because of an active military airspace from Friday to 12 November. These tests are conducted in the Pacific Test Range, a vast area northwest of Los Angeles where the navy periodically test-fires Tomahawk and Standard cruise missiles from surface ships and submarines.


Apparently according to many individuals, this object was sighted around 6:00pm and was said to originate somewhere out in the pacific ocean off the coast of California. The light was visible for hundreds of miles, startling people in Nevada and Arizona and as far north as California’s Sonoma Valley wine country

According to one I witness, Ian Howser,
"At San Onofre beach in southern California. Started as a fireball coming over the ocean, reflecting off the water and showing heat distortion. Explodes at :28 and spent the next five minutes as a glowing, expanding gas cloud radiating down to the surface. It left a blue cloud in the sky for 10 minutes. No sound during the explosion. News is saying this was from Point Mugu, which isn’t possible. This originated miles off the west coast over the ocean and traveled upward and inland. It did explode over the coast near Mugu, so if anything Mugu shot it down. This video starts facing south west oriented to San Clemente island and by the time of explosion I was facing north west.”

Southern California

One thing that has been down played is the fact there were a number of sightings of UFO over the world, and lights were scene in the sky prior and after the event of the missile launch. To add to the confusion there are also a number of meteorite entering the atmosphere as well. Personally I saw a yellow light in the sky around 10:45pm to the North East that streaked across the sky and disappeared.

New York Sighting

In New York on this day a light in the sky was also observed behind cloud cover, it was not the moon, and it moved slowly across the sky?

My personal opinion: This was not a true UFO/OVNI. Although contrary to public opinion, most American are unfamiliar with seeing real missile. The ones we do see are often during the day from north of Los Angeles originating from Lancaster and Palmdale. The behavior of the object is consistent with a vertical launch and a change in direction. The plume is explained due to the moisture in the air and the gasses expelled. Most UFO observed also do not behave in this manner which is inconsistent with their behavior. The oddity though is the plumage and the secondary effects. You can make comparison with archive video on missile behavior to make a comparison for yourself.
However as I said there were other objects in the sky that night which were sight before, during, and after the missile event.
