A mysterious flash of light, described by some as an explosion, was spotted in the skies over Southern California Tuesday morning.

There was no immediate word from officials on what may have caused the flash, but it was seen by many people who took to social media to search for answers.

“Did anyone else see an explosion in the sky?? The best way I can describe it,” Mallory Guillen from Victor Valley posted on Facebook about 4:20 a.m.

Robb Webb posted a photo of what he saw over the Los Angeles area on Twitter.

“Definitely saw 2 streaks of light in the sky this morning on Vern’s dog walk. Managed to snap a pic of the 2nd one, right next to a plane,” @ROBBWEBB3 posted.
