A bird? A plane? Meteor-like objects shoot across the Los Angeles skyline

Residents in Los Angeles were treated to an aerial show earlier this week when wingsuit jumpers lit up the sky while performing a stunt for a Hollywood movie.

Alex Sanger shared video on Twitter showing the jumpers twirling overhead, lighting up the sky.

Hoping to calm more nervous members of the local population, the Los Angeles Police Department tweeted that the event was part of a film shoot and was not an "alien invasion."

The video below shows the stuntmen in more detail.
