Two fiery objects entered the night sky July 28th igniting a frenzy on social media. The objects were spotted and filmed by many people covering a pretty wide geographical span from California, to Utah, to Nevada.
Vandenberg Air Force Base also told CBS Los Angeles that they had not executed any launches of vehicles or test ordinance. More than likely the glowing streaks were a meteor breaking apart in the atmosphere.
This isn’t the first time a fireball has been spotted over California. In fact, just 9 months ago CBS Los Angeles reported an almost identical story which can be seen on their YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0At7bxWwjA
Below are several Tweets about the incident:
