So did San Diego get visited by aliens Wednesday night? Not so fast.
A Navy spokesperson said the mysterious lights were simply part of a flare training exercise, according to CBS8.
But others expressed doubt at that explanation.
Howdy @tomdelonge , what do you make of this? It was in our (San Diego) night sky tonight. The official word is that it was a military flare exercise. I don't agree. https://t.co/z2sYKfjKVU
