Description: I was driving northward on highway 57 North in Fullerton, California when I saw two lights merging in and out of the sky. There was also a helicopter flying above the lights. The weird thing is, I thought that the lights were two flares. but no flare can flash on and off and cross each other. One of the lights flew right above the freeway bypass in the middle of the lane I was driving on and it was about 50 feet away and about 25 feet above the freeway. Then the lights disappeared. The two lights where weaving radically in the sky. At one point, the two lights disappeared and reappeared in separate areas. Traffic was stopping and there were a lot of witnesses.

Comments: The witness reported the sighting a few hours after it occurred. Apparently several cars were stopped to view the lights. Given the witness report I don't know what was observed. It is interesting to note that a helicopter was flying above the lights. Another group witnesses at Brea, California (near Highway 57) saw similar objects at the same time.
