It's not an Martian invasion

LAKE ST. LOUIS, Mo. (AP) - February 3, 2010 -- Those bright lights in the sky aren't Martians -- just a Missouri inventor.

Some people in the Lake St. Louis area called police to report lights in the night sky.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports a local inventor was just testing a remote-controlled helium balloon.

Paul Bauer even had a ring of flashing, colored LED lights in on his contraption.

The balloon was tied to his truck and hovered 100 feet in the air.
