Experts try to identify mysterious light that streaked over Southern California
By Brie Stimson | Fox News

    Look up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, what is it?

A mysterious bright light that streaked across the sky over Southern California, lighting up social media Wednesday night, remains a mystery a day later.

Mike Hankey, operations manager with the American Meteor Society, told the Los Angeles Times the object, which appeared to break up as it entered the atmosphere, was likely space debris – but he's not sure.

I saw a missile launch across the SoCal skies a few years ago. 

Later day "dusk" from Vandenberg. I think it was a SpaceX launch.

Coincidentally I saw a shooting star in broad daylight the other day. Brilliant blue point of light, throwing sparks and lasted maybe 2 seconds. Maybe no big deal but I was all excited about it, anyway,
