Can you solve this riddle? Two babies are born at the exact moment... (cont...)?

Two babies are born at the exact moment, yet their birth certificates say otherwise; one birth certificate has a completely different day, month, and year as the other. Both birth certificates are correct. How is that so?

Also, let me know if you've heard this riddle (or one similar) before. I'm hoping it's original, but I doubt it.

Update:

Okay... I see a little more detail is needed: The birth certificates also listed a completely different time -- neither of which is 12am.

Update 2:

Riddle solved: They were born in different time zones. Was that too easy?

    Different time zones.

    One is born Dec 31 2008 at 10:00 in California

    The other is born Jan 1 2009 at 1:00am in New York.

    but it happened at the exact same moment.
