New Year's Day is known for parties, BBQs and... little green men? That's right. A possible alien sighting took place on the morning of Jan. 1 in the California sky. The residents reported seeing a UFO (or maybe even multiple UFO's).

ABCNews affiliate News 10 interviewed some of the stupefied onlookers who saw the object first hand.

"I seen like six bright orange colored lights," Stockton resident Kaye Pinlac told  News 10. "They were almost like in a diamond or triangle shape. It was weird. And so they started just separating."

"Well, we saw it right through the trees," Steven Brown of Sacramento also told News 10.

"It was bright enough to shine directly through the trees without any problem seeing it," Brown continued. "Whatever it was moved up and to the left ... It hovered there for probably about 60 seconds, then it took off at a high rate of speed."

Another UFO popped up on the night of New Year's Eve, according to Auburn residents Terry and Hans Mauth. They were on hand to recount their experience. "No sound, no blinking lights, just this big illuminated form," exclaimed Terry Mauth. News 10 has the complete story here. 

Auburn, Sacramento and Stockton are all located in Northern California. Though the cities are still considerable distances from each other such a simultaneous sighting is curious. Some sightings were even reported in Southern California in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood. UFO sightings as a whole are not uncommon.

KPLC-TV reported on another two other instances in the not-so-distant past. Sacramento Valley was subject to a supposed UFO sighting in 2008. The real culprit turned out to be an airplane with an electric sign attack to one of its wings. A year lately another UFO was spotted in Placerville, California. And again that instance was explained away; Arcing power lines were really to blame.

In 2012 a Google maps user came across a bright orange, triangular object in the sky that alarmed Andrea Dove. The object looked like it was surveying the "Tomato Capital of the World", also known as, Jacksonville, Texas. Dove called the local news station and eventually Good Morning America even aired a tongue-in-cheek segment about the whole thing. The Huffington Post still has a direct link to the object: check it out here.

Local reporter Jamey Boyum showed Jacksonville residents -- including those talking a walk and Taco Bell employees -- the image on a smartphone. Two people claimed to be on the lookout for the supposed alien mother ship, but nothing ever materialized for them. Photo & video analyst Marc Dantonio chalked the sighting up to be nothing more than a lens flare.
