On Saturday night a bunch of people in southern California saw a bright light in the sky.
My photo of a bright fireball seen from Pasadena tonight. Note the blue tail. @myfoxla @plutokiller @BadAstronomer
Local authorities said the light was a test missile.
#OCSDPIO: Light seen in OC sky was confirmed through JWA tower to be a Naval test fire off the coast. No further details.
People on Twitter were quick to dismiss what they saw as a cover-up.
@OCSD why was it seen all the way in San Francisco?

Especially when some users spotted that a local news station explained that the lights were meteors.
Seeing bright lights in the sky, at times blue? It's the Taurid meteor shower. INFO: https://t.co/QsxCmvRDl2 #abc15
