Five lit objects high in the sky... New Years Eve in Antioch, California...1/1/08 at 12:05 AM

Right after midnight on New Years Eve, my girlfriend, her daughter, daughter's boyfriend, and I saw four lights high up in the sky, mvoing slowly accross the sky. They traveled about halfway accross the sky and then disappeared. Then we saw another similar light. It stopped in the middle of the sky and just hung there for about five minutes, not moving, then disappearing. These lights were way up there, and were not planes, no blinking lights, and no sound. Daughter's boyfriend conjectured that they may have been some type of lit weather ballons.... But there were so many of them, and their flight pattern was so fixed.

NUFORC Note:

We spoke with this witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. Antioch is in the San Francisco Bay Area, many hundreds of miles north of San Diego, so this report does not address the same event as tha reported from San Diego. PD
