California residents across the state reported UFO sightings on New Year’s Eve. Often Chinese lanterns and fireworks are mistaken for UFOs. However, witnesses have said what they saw were not lanterns or balloons, and some local news reporters agree.

According to News 10, an ABC affiliate out of Stockton, reports came in from Sacramento to Hollywood. A couple in Auburn told News 10 they saw an egg shaped object float over their neighborhood. Terry and Hans Mauth say the object appeared to have a bright light shining upward. It drifted over the neighborhood, and then suddenly accelerated.

Sacramento resident Steve Brown also reported seeing a large glowing object. He says he watched the object for about 60 seconds before it took off at a high rate of speed.
