Did anyone see the missile/meteor off the central coast just south of Monterey today?
lolslavery asked:
We were driving north on 1 and just as the sun was setting there was like a really fast, bright light way up in the sky that traveled out toward the sea. It left a trail like an airplane but it was wayyy faster, like a comet or a shooting star. This must have been 10 miles out and as high as an airplane.
Then we saw about 10 emergency vehicles heading south on highway 1 from Monterey and PG.
Any idea what this could have been?

It may have been a missile launch from Vandenberg AFB.
As a lifetime California resident of 51 years I have seen many things like you describe.
About 6-8 months later the Military may admit they shot something off. But then again maybe they will say nothing.
But I am just guessing.
Many of those launches are kept top secret.
Please keep in mind I am not trying to promote some odd conspiracy theory, however I am just commenting on previous experience.
This may well be the most honest answer you get from this site.
I do not think the Emergency Vehicles you saw had anything to do with what you saw over the ocean.
Edit:
I just saw on the news it was part of the Leonid Meteor Shower.
Consider yourself very lucky to have caught a part of it.
