A NEWLY-married Lithuanian couple could be the source of the mysterious lights seen over Drogheda last New Year's Eve.
A number of people reported seeing strange lights over the town and the whole episode has remained a nagging puzzle - until now.

'Perhaps it was our balloons that people saw,' Edita added.
