"I really don't think that it’s attracted to the ground because it's pretty high up there and it's not moving at all," said El Cajon resident Michael Kayler. "There's got to be wind current up there."Photographer: Courtesy 10news.com
It turns out that a neighbor named Todd had spent $300 on balloons, helium and lights. He had the entire contraption on fishing line. The lights were more than 4,000 feet in the air.
"[It's] a 'TFO'… Todd's flying object," he said.
It is unclear if Todd will get in to trouble for the lights. He said he put them up all in good fun.
