[UPDATE: The "UFO" Seen Over Southern California Was A Missile, says Cigarette-Smoking Man]

Every single person under the Los Angeles sky with a Twitter account is reporting that a UFO just flew over Los Angeles. We are here to report the news: a UFO did not just fly over Los Angeles. Sorry, Josh.

It wasn't even a rocket.

It wasn't even the Taurid Meteor Shower, which Accuweather notes will be bringing "cosmic fireballs" our way into next week.

UPDATE: Maybe it's a missile? It's a missile, says THE GOVERNMENT. The U.S. Navy confirmed this was a missile test conducted by the Navy Strategic Systems Programs off the coast of Southern California.
