While an UFO sighting version predictably cropped up among the believers, most observers agree it was either a meteor or a piece of space junk – most likely a Chinese booster re-entering the atmosphere following a heavy-lift Long March 5 rocket earlier in the day.
Some people, however, reportedly panicked thinking it might’ve been a missile from North Korea, as its cryptic warning to the US about possible ‘Christmas gifts’ has yet to materialize.
