From Placer County to the Hollywood Hills, people reported seeing mysterious lights in the sky on New Year's Eve.

Terry and Hans Mauth of Auburn said they watched a large egg-shaped object with a bright light shining upward drift over their neighborhood, then suddenly accelerate.

"There was no sound, that's the funny thing," Terry said.  "Just this big illuminated form."

Steven Brown of Sacramento reported a similar sighting above Belle Cooledge Park.

Of course, the usual skeptics and debunkers will claim that these were all "Chinese lanterns." :-) To read more and view the video, click here.
