Mystery light freaks out Southern California residents 

(CNN) Panic and speculation spread Saturday night when a bright white light shot through the night skies in Southern California. 
Residents
 posted a flurry of videos on social media, together with theories of 
aliens or meteors. Others made panicked calls to law enforcement 
officials.
But not to worry, U.S. military officials said.  It was a planned missile test. 
The
 Navy Strategic Systems Programs held a scheduled missile test flight at
 sea from USS Kentucky, which is a ballistic missile submarine. The test
 was conducted off the coast of Southern California, the Pentagon said 
in a statement. 
It said the missile was not armed. 
"The
 tests were part of a scheduled, ongoing system evaluation test," the 
statement said. "Launches are conducted on a frequent, recurring basis 
to ensure the continued reliability of the system.  Each test activity 
provides valuable information about our systems, thus contributing to 
assurance in our capabilities."
Fascinated residents shot video of the light. 
"At first, it looked like a gold shooting star," witness Matt McKee said. 
"It
 went from gold and small, burning for a few minutes and turned into 
this blue spot light.  Like at an event held at night -- not like 
shooting out at us, but a white bright light," he said.
 "What was weird, the tail was light and wide and it got bluer and bluer.  Then it just burned out and went away."
The Los Angeles International Airport  issued a statement this week about the military testing.

 "The military airspace to the west of LAX will be active for one week, 
creating traffic route limitations and requiring LAX to temporarily 
deviate from over-ocean operations," it said. 
The military test will continue until November 12.  

This was seen in other states as well from my understanding: Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Arizona, and supposedly New Mexico.  Also, all most all of California saw it, and supposedly Mexico as well. I didn't see it, but some of my friends and family did. Did any of you guys on the West Coast see it? Also if it was shot from Point Mugu, in Malibu, how did both Southern CA (below Malibu) and Northern CA see it? Sounds like more than one missile was shot to me. Check out the videos in the link too. :)

	I was on Chick's Beach (Chesapeake Beach) in Virginia Beach late at night one night, like 3 or 4 in the morning hanging out with a friend many years ago. We got so freaked out, there was all kinds of lights and commotion in the water but we couldn't see a boat or anything, but we could hear noises, but not a lot. We quickly left cause we didn't know what was going on, the beach was in a secluded area, it was late....a few days later found out it was the Navy Seals training in that area, doing whatever it is they do in the middle of the night, lol.
