It turns out that they were likely part of the halftime entertainment at the San Diego Legion rugby game against RFC Los Angeles at Snapdragon Stadium.

The U.S. Navy Parachute Team, the "Leap Frogs," shared on social media before the game that the fireballs that would appear above the city in the night sky would just be them jumping into the game with flares.

"If you see some fireballs in the sky tonight... it's (probably) us," the Leap Frogs said around noon on Saturday in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Last November, the parachute team lit up the sky above Snapdragon Stadium during the National Women’s Soccer League semifinal playoff match between San Diego Wave FC and OL Reign.
