While some witnesses suggested that the object was evidence of extraterrestrial visitation, it was later revealed that it was in fact an unarmed missile fired from a US Navy submarine.

According to a spokesman, the Navy Strategic Systems Program had launched the missile from the USS Kentucky on Saturday night as part of routine testing to ensure the reliability of their systems.
