Yep, as I thought. I knew a Twitter insider must have been involved somehow.
Perhaps not wittingly, but they apparently fooled someone at twitter into handing over the keys to the kingdom.

The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

The "mastermind" behind this hack was a teenager. Allegedly.

Florida teen, 2 others arrested over massive Twitter breach
U.S. authorities have charged a Florida teenager and two others with perpetrating or assisting this month's massive hack of high-profile Twitter accounts, including presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden — an attack that also led to an hourslong blockage that prevented President Donald Trump and other prominent users from posting.
The state attorney in Tampa Bay's Hillsborough County, Fla., announced Friday that Graham Ivan Clark, 17, is the alleged "mastermind" behind the July 15 Twitter breach that sent fraudulent tweets from accounts belonging to, among others, former President Barack Obama, former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates and rapper Kanye West. The tweets asked people to send Bitcoin contributions to a mysterious address, with promises of doubling them.

Classic phishing. It's a big problem for companies these days.The alleged mastermind behind the July 15 hack of Twitter accounts of business titans, celebrities and a former president didn’t need sophisticated hacking tools to pierce the company’s security system. Rather, he convinced an information technology employee at Twitter that he was a colleague who needed login credentials to access the company’s customer support platform, according to law enforcement officials.
It worked, in spectacular fashion.
