ROSEVILLE, CA - The mystery surrounding a series of lights seen hovering over Roseville Friday night has been solved.
The lights were attached to an airplane that belongs to a Bay Area aerial advertising firm that was announcing the grand opening of a tire store.
"It was the craziest thing I've ever seen," said News10 reporter Angel Cardenas, who recorded a nine-second clip of video from Air10 while flying over a high school football game in Roseville.
The incident prompted a number of calls to News10 and a buzz on the Internet.
The owner of the advertising firm said the plane occasionally stirs UFO sighting reports.
"From a distance it looks unidentified, lights are blinking," said Jason Frost of American Air Lights in Concord. "You can't read the words unless you're in the target audience (below the plane)."
Frost said he welcomed the exposure from the Friday night aerial ad campaign.
"It's good for us," he said.

SACRAMENTO, CA - News10 often receives calls from those who spotted something unusual in the night skies. It's not nearly as common for those calls to be backed up by our own Air10.By News 10

While shooting Friday Night Football highlights over Sacramento, Air10 pilot Ed Georges and FNF correspondent Angel Cardenas spotted a strange set of lights flying over their helicopter.
"I know what aircraft lighting looks like and this was definitely something different," Georges said. "It looked almost like a scrolling message on a blimp to the naked eye. I was at 1,200 feet and it was considerably higher."
Georges said he and Cardenas manuevered the helicopter to get a better look at the lights through Air10's Power Zoom camera.
"(Angel and I) were both amazed at the odd lights and movement. I started flying toward it, but it began to fade away and disappeared to the southeast," Georges said. "Not knowing the size of the object, I couldn't determine how far away we were, but I believe it was some distance away as the image was fuzzy even through the PowerZoom camera."
Not long after their sighting, several callers phoned the News10 newsroom to report seeing the same phenomenon.
When contacted, Federal Aviation Adminstration and Sacramento International Airport spokespeople said they hadn't heard anything about the object and had no idea what the craft could be. A Travis Air Force Base representative said the base had no aircrafts that could be confused with a UFO.
So what is it? Take a look at the video and weigh in with your own verdict.

UFO Filmed Over Sacramento By News Chopper!

Case in point: last night while shooting film for the “Friday Night Football segment” (high school football), local news chopper, “Air 10,” of the ABC affiliate, “News 10” (KXTV Channel 10) were surprised to discover that they were sharing their airspace with a “strange set of lights.”
The news station was quick to report the sighting by pilot, Ed Georges” and correspondent Angel Cardenas and the fact that they filmed it, (as well as calls from the general public) as seen above—but so far that’s where it ends!
Oddly, there hasn’t been any follow-up, or any more details released (so far) . . . a curious thing all by itself. News choppers are a common fixture in the skies above Sacramento, and when filming in “tight areas” and particularly with other aircraft in the vicinity, the pilot is in constant contact with the closest air-traffic controller, as well as other pilots that occupy the same airspace. Surely attempts were made to find out what the craft was and or whom it belonged to; obviously, this could be a dangerous situation.
Assuming that’s the case, why hasn’t News 10 disclosed any more information? If they had the information wouldn’t they report it and “solve the mystery?” If they are investigating the matter, as should be the case, then why not report on the progress or lack thereof?
Stay tuned as this story develops . . .
