A Navy spokesman, Cmdr. Ryan Perry, told The San Diego Union-Tribune that the Navy Strategic Systems Programs conducted the missile test at sea Saturday from the USS Kentucky, a ballistic missile vessel.
And local TV station KLTA reported that, "Light seen in OC sky was confirmed through JWA tower to be a Naval test fire off the coast," the Orange County Sheriff's Department said on Twitter, referring to John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana.
The test was part of a scheduled, on-going system evaluation test, Perry told the paper.
The event led to a flurry of calls to law enforcement agencies and lit up social media as people posted photos and videos.
