Was Los Angeles Invaded by Aliens? Mysterious Fireball Lights Up Night Sky

A mysterious object streaking through the skies above Los Angeles had citizens of the City of Angels confused. 

Many thought it was a UFO or meteor, but it didn’t come from out of this world. It was actually a publicity stunt.

Two men wearing wing suits with a Red Bull logo hovered through the sky looking like flying squirrels as sparks flew out of the suit. 

Calls to 911 inundated operators Wednesday evening, prompting the LAPD to post a reassuring tweet saying “a meteor did not crash into Downtown Los Angeles, and no, it's not an alien invasion...just a film shoot. This is Tinsel Town after all.” 

Red Bull said the jump was a celebration of the last supermoon of the year.
