Strange UFO Ejects Orb Over California

This unidentified flying object was captured on video over Southern California. The UFO—which is producing a corkscrew tail that seems to indicate rotational movement—ejects some round thing that flies into another direction at a faster speed than the object itself. What can it all be?

A meteor

Today is the peak night of the Quadantrid Meteor Shower, which happens as the Earth crosses the remains of a comet or planetoid observed half century ago. It’s logical to think this is may be one of these meteors, but it seems way too slow to be a meteor, which enter the atmosphere at a much faster speed than the UFO recorded in California.

A satellite or spacecraft on re-entry

Judging by its speed, this can also be an unknown satellite or a spacecraft entering the atmosphere. There have been no official reports at this time and there may never be one because it could be a military satellite or some secret experimental spacecraft. The ball may be a piece of the object ejected in a violent explosion.

An experimental anti-intercontinental ballistic missile defense system or some other weapons test

This is may be a possibility, as the US announced last month that they were going to start testing anti-ICBM system. It’s definitely not an ICBM, however, as the warheads wouldn’t be ejected in that way, as shown in this video of a recent Russian test.

An alien spaceship crashing with an alien escaping in a pod

Why not, right?

A very good CGI prank

This is the most obvious explanation—it could all be a prank carefully crafted in a computer.

Any other theories?
