Whatever it is, it looked like it was giving birth at one point.
(Eww, a flying placenta!)
And then - thanks to internos - it looked like a bunch of balloons.

The balloon theory has some holes, IMO.
1. These objects seem much much bigger than regular balloons given the distance that the film is being taken from. A light source could make them appear bigger BUT....
2. A light source that a balloon could carry could not possibly create that color of light. You are talking a filament for it to create an orange glow like that. That requires a glass casing and it would be too hot and eventually burst the balloon through convection. A balloon COULD carry a white, cool light.
3. On top of the fact that any balloon will automatically "cool" the light inside it with its natural color, meaning if you place a light source in a white balloon, the white will soften the color. Ever been to ikea? They use that as a way of dispersing light. These lights have FAR too much color, brightness and contrast from their background to be inside balloons..
So these things are big, extremely bright, and utterly motionless. Hmmm..
Oh by the way, keep in mind that I am no expert on balloons, lighting, or anything of the sort. That was my attempt to sound like I had some real knowledge to share.

Thanks for summing up my opinion. Balloons? Puhleez. Waaay too much light. Heat from said lights? Power source to provide that much radiance... would have to be one chunky battery, oh wait... they're balloons that can carry a few extra kilos. Riiiiight.
I know "feelings" carry exactly zero weight here, but I think alot of the UFO disbelievers/debunkers are going to be eating a bucketload of crow when these things become as obvious as the proverbial elephant in the living room.
