UFO Sightings In Lake Elsinore

The weird lights twinkling above Lake Elsinore Friday night are not UFOs.

Instead, the fantastic little flickers are part of the 10th annual Skydiving Chicks Rock celebration going on in town through Sunday at

Chicks Rock, a national contingency of female skydivers, is in Lake Elsinore whooping it up with jumps above the water, costume parties and seminars.

To the disappointment of some, a naked skydiving jump was even planned as part of this year's "Heaven and Hell" event, but somehow the nude show never "got off the ground," according to one Chicks Rock member.

The girls have definitely gone wild down at the water's edge: An ad hoc sky show Friday night resulted in reports of UFOs to local police. The alien invasion turned out to be nearly 500 little LED lights spaced about 12 feet apart and strung together via helium balloons -- a very long floating string of lights, if you will. (The homemade invention is wafting above the lake as we type.)

"I saw the lights and was looking up and I thought it was an electrical line that was damaged. Then I saw the lights flying in a pattern and kinda thought it was a UFO or a prank," said 45-year-old Lake Elsinore resident Andrea Felix.

Ten-year-old Ruben Gutierrez of Long Beach was also down by the water's edge Friday when he saw what appeared to be alien creatures.

"First I thought they were UFOs or something like that, and then it looked like the lights were tied on a string to a tower."

"I thought I saw fireworks!" said 10-year-old Lake Elsinore resident Daniel Valdez.

The Chicks Rock members will continue the fun throughout the weekend, so who knows what else is in store for Lake Elsinore. --Daniel Lane contributed to this report.
