Well, if it’s flying and you don’t know what it is, it’s technically a UFO.

Exactly. The people who claim that UFOs do not exist, and say that anyone who’s claimed to have seen one is a tin-foiler or unbalanced should read your comment first. Unidentified is key.

I saw it last night and it was quite strange. I was walking out of a restaurant with my takeout and this light started to appear and became quite bright (where is Dr. Carson when you need him). At first I thought it was a helicopter with a search light since the light was white, but it didn’t look like it was shining on anything. For a while the source of the light seemed to be stationary and not moving, kind of like a helicopter would do. And then it slowly faded away. I live near Camp Pendleton in Oceanside so I figured it had something to do with a training exercise with the Marines and Navy so a missile is as good as any explanation.

I’ve seen a lot of these launches while spending time near Edwards AFB in the high desert north of L.A. Usually it was something launched from Vandenberg AFB, but they always seem to do it right at sunset, and with the atmospheric effects, it almost never looks like a missile or a rocket.
A UFO is sort of a in-the-eye-of-the-beholder thing. If I know what it is and you don’t - is it still a UFO?
I just retired to Ventura County and Vandenburg is less than 100 miles North and there are missile launches all the time and that is very true
This unusual, widely visible night launch, which garners public attention and speculation, may support the current Navy campaign to promote itself as America’s best line of defense to keep us safe. An unspoken, passing fear of many viewers that this dramatic light in sky could be hostile, is corrected by official Navy reassurance that “we” are testing “our” readiness [to protect you] without having to verbalize from what danger, because they who feared already internalize the answer. This Navy missile “test” is thus also psy-ops propaganda: more powerful for being subliminal and immune from criticism for being covert. Even the disturbing, sleeptime noise of rerouted airline traffic is useful; the people temporarily affected may now feel they have “personal skin” in the Navy’s “game”.
Why might the Navy do this? Billions, perhaps trillions, of additional Defense dollars to reverse the trend to shrink its size.
Semantics You know what they mean…
Who is “they”? Many people who report UFO"s simply want to know if it was a military or government craft, many suspecting it is all part of some conspiracy to “spy”, “control weather”, etc. Yes, some go beyond that into “outer space” stuff, but most don’t.
Ergo, the less you know, the more UFOs you see.
That’s about the size of it, except of course the “scammers” who make stuff up to get into the Enquirer, etc.
Where do he missiles wind up? Are they radio tracked and recycled or just left to be discovered by anyone that happens upon them?
Dr. Ben Carson scoffed at those who believed they’d seen a flying saucer, calling them “Unscientific. It should have been obvious to anyone with half a brain that this luminous object in the night sky was the Archangel Gabriel going for a jog.”
