The light was actually a Red Bull stunt.
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.
