And what if they were doing a EW exercise in the SOCAL Range Complex ., testing the updated SPY-1B radar on the Princeton , their EW tech and fleet reaction?
For example Radar spoofing from emmiitters at fixed sites such as at San Clemente island. From mobile sites inc boats, aircraft, drones, balloons .
What I'm saying here is the reason I believe it was an EW exercise is that EW requires assets to work, it needs all the things above to cover an area,
Also there is records of them doing 100's of EW exercises in the SOCAL range complex every year from 1988
So when I say they launched some kind of EW object from the USS Louisville, it's because I think it's one part of a greater exercise.
Or maybe in the confusion they got vectored to a live missile test. Who knows , the point is a lot goes on in a EW test and also in the SOCAL Range Complex generally that makes it rich for a number of scenarios to play out
EW is Just a theory
But then have a look where Kevin Day notes most of the strange radar tracks happened. This is from Dave Beaty's Nimitz Encounter YT video titled
"The Nimitz Encounters Updated With New Info"
This below is what has been on San Clemente Island since at least 1991. There are also two other EW sites on San Clemente Islandfrom back then as well, called Tombstone and Little Rock
This is further complicated by the fact they also run simulataneous exercises in that area. A lot in an effort to simulate a real war enviroment.
And they can mix different things. EW and real things like drones they fire off San Clemente island that simulate a missile attacks. .etc.
They could be running Anti Submarine exercises in one spot, and Air defense exercises in another spot. They could be doing missile launches from sub. It gets complicated
Here is a video example of drone fired from San Clemente Island

What I'm trying to say is that the SOCAL Range Complex is a theatre they use to train the fleet readiness and reactions, they also test new weapons and systems int he area to evaluate them and to measure responses to refine tactics.
TL;DR Shit goes down in this area
It bears note that everything that happened in the 2004 Tic Tac encounter (radar tracks, tic tac object sightings etc) and the 2019 drone/Sphere/triangle events - > All happened within the boundaries of the SOCAL Range Complex.
So either aliens like to train with the US fleet, or..........
SOCAL Range Complex
All the training, exercises , weapons evaluations etc are run by SCORE at North Island San Diego.
Below gives you a high level run down of what goes on in the ranges within the SOCAL Range Complex
