Trident missile launch sparks UFO freakout in Los Angeles and on Twitter
"An unannounced Trident missile launch lit up the skies over Los Angeles on Saturday night, setting off a hail of UFO reports, tense tweets and YouTube videos.
After the flare-up, the U.S. Navy confirmed that the USS Kentucky, an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine that’s homeported at the Bangor submarine base on the Kitsap Peninsula, conducted a “scheduled, on-going system evaluation test” in the Navy’s Pacific Test Range off the coast of Southern California.

Apparently LAX was ordered to divert flights for something like a week without being told why. Next thing you know, people see this thermonuclear missile flying through the sky and figure the mothership is landing. It's just a "routine" test, they say.
It occurs to me that there's nothing routine about testing such a missile over LA. Seems like they wanted it to be viewed. As I have no trust of any official report really, I consider the whole thing a big "?" Maybe it was a US weapon...maybe not? Maybe it was unarmed, maybe it wasn't? Just wondering what folks might think this was all about.
