Sightings Of Three Objects Over California January 6 2011 – Case Solved

LAKE ELSINORE: Not meteors, just skydivers with flares

By PE News on January 6, 2011 7:56 PM

Skydivers jumping out of planes over Lake Elsinore with flares prompted some calls to the sheriff's and fire dispatchers wondering if meteorites were falling into the lake.

"We got two calls," said Deputy Melissa Nieburger, spokeswoman for the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. "We had units checking it out, but so far no sounds of distress."

Turns out it's members of Skydive Elsinore and the Army's Golden Knights skydiving team jumping with flares for a video on night skydiving, said Capt. Jim Brown of the Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department.

The two calls received by the Sheriff's Department described three fireballs in the sky, Nieburger said.

Glowing orange and red lights floated across parts of Florida's sky New Year's weekend, including in the Wellington and West Palm Beach areas, setting off a state of wonderment among witnesses.

But those UFOs weren't so unidentified after all.

The drifting bulbs and streaks were probably floating lanterns, said Brian Vike, founder of the paranormal blog The Vike Factor, which fielded about 250 e-mails, 30 or so from Florida, noting the strange sightings worldwide.

"They're all lit up and glowing," Vike said. "They'll go up and down and sideways, so it looks pretty weird."
