Reported Strange Lights Turns Out to Be Lanterns

PRUNEDALE, Calif- Did you see those lights Monday night? Lynn in Prunedale says that her daughter was coming home from work when they saw about 30 lights in the sky.

She said that the lights were strobbing and her first thought was that they were "planes coming to attack".  She wrote an email to Central Coast News to see if anyone else had reported seeing the lights, "Aliens? Who knows LOL, but really my thought was something exploded."

Lynn said that her and her daughter watched it for quite a while, but the fog rolled in and they could not see it anymore.

Central Coast Viewer Nakiya Parker said that the lights were a memorial for a teenager that was shot and killed last year. She said family and friends of Sal Vargas released blessing sky lanterns Monday night. Vargas was shot and killed at a party in Castroville a year ago Monday.

The Monterey County Sheriff's department agreed with Parker and said that the lights were from the lanterns.

According to the National UFO Reporting Center Website, in February someone in Prunedale reported seeing "Flashing MultiColered Light" and in October of 2010 "an extremely bright white light was observed traveling at an extraordinary speed, with no noise."
