I dont think any of these posts are chinese lanterns, if they are then are the lanterns the size of hot air baloons? as the objects i saw were too high for helicopters but were very large in size so I know these werent chinese lanterns, it may be worth asking the distance / height of the objects and size so you can establish which to disregard or not??

They are not chinese lanterns last friday i was on my way to pick my daughter up, in erskine near glasow when i spotted to orange orbs, and i was heading straight for them, one was really high but the other was really low i stopped my car and the low one which was passing me stopped as i stopped and hovered right over my car. i sat and just staired at it. it was bright orange with two flashing lights in the centre, and as i started to drive away this thing starded moving again very slowly the way it was going in the first place. A week later and im still in awe..

Thursday 11thFeb around 9pm,
Location Erskine Scotland
my wife was having a cigarette out at the back door, where she shouted on me to come and see this strange light, the 2 of us stood outside and watched this round glowing red object moving very fast ascross the sky, coming from the north (Balloch)heading west to ayrshire. This object was very low maybe 1000feet high and there was a couple of what looked like sparks falling from this object. This object dimmed as it went further away until it disappeared. I believe that there is a logical answer to this but for the life of me i cant think of one.

22nd January 2010

At about 2215, I saw this bright orange light in Derriford. Sat watching tv, and out of the corner of my eye I see this single bright orange light. First thinking that it was a firework or a helicopter, I paid no attention to it. A couple of seconds had pasted and it was still in the sky. Wondering what it was, I headed over to the window. As I tryed to get a better look, it seem to have appered from whitleigh and was heading towards me. This is when I could this shape as circular, it was making no sound.. Before I could think, ( head and get a camera ) it started to move away, heading over to ward the crownhill/ centre of plymouth.

I would say that, from when I saw it to when it desappered behind a few trees, I saw it for about 5 minutes.

these strange lights are lanterns.I have witnessed these glowing lights in the past but on new year many appeared in the night sky.When being freaked out by these lights and getting the video camera out one got closer and closer and landed outside our home so we went out to see what it was .A large 2 foot lantern that has attached a flame that lights the lantern and makes it float in the sky till it burns out.

I also saw a single red/orange light in Welwyn Garden City, Herts around the same time moving slowly, There was 3-4 passange air craft also flying in the sky at the time but they seemed to be much higher up in the sky and further away, using them as referance I couldn see that the red/orange light was lower, near and had none of the normal flashing lights that the other air craft had, From my point of view I could see clearly that the other air craft in the sky had flashing light on the wings, The red/orange light was just a single very large light. I could’nt really tell what shape it but it looked like a ball of light, I watched it for about 10 mins as it moved across the sky and out of my view.

My son and I saw one orange light in sky whilst driving through Potters Bar, 31/12/09 approx 1220 hrs. This light was moving but not to fast, not very high in the sky, but not very low, looked like a sphere type shape, and seemed to have a yellow ball of fire coming from the underneath!!.
Once we drove on to the M25 heading from Potters Bar to South Mimms roundabout, we noticed at the right of us in the sky over Potters Bar, (possibly above the large field), 5 more of these in a formation, then two approached from the right, very spooky. I tried to ignore them and told my son it was possibly something to do with the new year…
Once in to Welwyn Garden City, Herts, we noticed another one in front of us in the sky. Once I parked up at home two more were noticable in the distance. Not seen anything like it before.
I was glad when internet site stated it may be chinese laterns!!!!!????.

Location: Cleland-Motherwell-Scotland
Date: IstJan 11.45 pm
Witnesses: Many

We saw 6 or 7 Orange orbs,flying (silently)in a definate formation.At one point 2 of the orbs flew off on their own,actually flying very close to one another.

Flying from north to South.I know of at least 20 witnesses at various locations who have the exact same story to tell

Visable for 7-10 minutes.Not Chinese lanterns.They were obviously of considerable mass.
