Just witnessed something above the house across the street...9/27/11

First off... sorry I don't have great camera equipment.

My best guess is chinese lanterns, because what I saw was consistent with all the other lantern videos on this site, but I wanted to upload it anyway to hear what you guys think.

Also, this would be the first time I have ever seen a chinese lantern outside of debunked UFO videos. And where I live I couldn't imagine why anyone would be lighting them off.

But that's still my best guess...
Again, sorry its from a droid camcorder.

I think you might have something here. Luck was on your side.

They are called stars! hehe

Just saying... I have never seen a chinese lantern, in person, ever in my life. I sometimes find these "chinese lantern" explanations hard to swallow.


ps - love the accents you guys have

Yeah im sure that's what a lot of people think...

You can't tell from the crap video quality but they were bright orange.

that's why I'm leaning towards lanterns.

Haha neither have I. But they do flicker out like a lantern would do.

you live in a nice neighborhood!

Don't look like lanterns too me, besides they ain't floating somewhere. their just sitting there.

No, they were clearly moving to the naked eye...again, weak droid camera+ shaky hand=stuff I saw that won't be as clearly visible

Yeah that's right, CHINESE LANTERNS

NOT

It could quite possibly be chinese lanterns, but considering that I'm a huge believer in alien beings, I'm going with advanced alien spacecrafts.

It's quite clear that toward the end of the video, the ship on the right was following the ship on the left.

Wish they'd come and visit...

btw, your avatar is highly amusing

WOW! stars and a shaky camera!

Between the quality and my resolution I can't even make a call. Are we looking at points of light that stay in the video to the end or do we have them disappearing or what ? If they're still there when you stopped recording that's never a good sign.

Well played, sir or madam. Well played.

What state are you in?

Let's be realistic, it takes time and effort and to get Chinese Lanterns prepared and then they have to move with the wind or whatever plus be let go into the sky. Really, did some college Alpha Beta team go out their way to really hoax the neighborhood and let go all these Chinese Lanterns to just to fool you that something may be up there.

Unexplainable. That's all I'll say.

As stated a few times already, stars do not glow orange.

And I already apologized for the weak droid camera.

They were not stars, nor do I think they were alien spacecraft.

They were moving like lanterns.

They were glowing like lanterns.

Guess you all had to be there.
