So, What Was Up With the San Diego Sky Tonight? An Investigation (Mostly Light on Facts, Heavy on Laughs)

We here at the San Diego Society of Slightly Confused Skywatchers (SDSCSCSW for short, though we're working on the acronym) are here to break down the possibilities, with a healthy dose of speculation, of course.

| What Was In The Sky Over San Diego Tonight |
Aliens? Don't Be Ridiculous (Unless...)
Let's get the obvious out of the blinking red light in the sky out of the way. Yes, there were strange lights. But before you pack your tinfoil hats and stock up on Twinkies (ET's favorite, according to reliable sources, which may or may not be a childhood obsession with Reese's Pieces), there are a few more earthly explanations.
Theory 1: It Was Just Elon Musk Again
Our favorite billionaire with a penchant for rockets is no stranger to lighting up the San Diego sky. There's a good chance it was another SpaceX launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base. You know, just another Tuesday night for Californians.
Tip: Stop when you find something useful.
Theory 2: The Bat-Signal for a Particularly Lazy Superhero
Maybe crime is down in San Diego, because Batman just phoned it in tonight. A faint bat-shaped light could have been a sign from a superhero who's more into Netflix and takeout than fighting crime.
Theory 3: Top-Secret Government Drone Show
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
Let's face it, the government loves its acronyms and classified projects. Maybe it was just a drone light show nobody was supposed to see. (Hey government guys, if this is you, at least make the drones do cool shapes next time, okay?)
The Verdict: We Have No Idea (But We're Having Fun Guessing)
Honestly, without telescopic pictures or a visit from a friendly alien with a broken spaceship, we can't say for sure what graced the San Diego sky tonight. But that's the beauty of looking up, isn't it? It allows us to use our imaginations and ponder the vast unknown. (Or, you know, just blame Elon Musk again.)
