UFOs Over California Leaving Earth's Atmosphere - No Chinese Lanterns!, page 1

I saw this video and to me it doesn't seem like they are Chinese Lanterns...they move too quick. These are the same objects that were apparently seen over Russia. Unless this is a military exercise, it is tough to decipher these possible space objects from regular aircraft. Thoughts???

Unfortunately the video is low quality even when watched in HD but my initial impression is they look like lanterns , that doesn't mean they necessarily are lanterns but chances are if they'd been filmed with a decent camera we would see lanterns

You provide some very good points on this. They could be CL's however, if you look at this video on a Chinese Lantern release, you would see it disappear much faster in the sky than these objects (on a similar evening sky)


Also, is there any real difference between CL's in terms of colour. In the first video the lights appear white while in the above video the light inside the CL is yellow?

Obviously not if you continue to post videos of lanters and such. Just sayin'...

I post videos to be up for discussion. I am not saying they are indeed alien aircraft at all. They could be anything really. Just sayin we need backup evidence to either prove/disprove the video.

The speed of the lanterns will depend on the size of the lanterns and the temp of the surrounding air along with the movement of the air that could influenced by features on the ground.

So you can smell BS from "miles away", but still find it necessary for people to discuss videos that everyone agrees are most likely Chinese Lanterns, just to verify that they are indeed lanterns? If your BS meter was as good as you claim it is you wouldn't be posting the videos in the first place because you would most likely know before you posted that it wasn't anything worthy of discussion.

Yes I am nitpicking, but don't claim to be some ulta skeptical fraud detection machine and then continue to post videos that are identified on the first page as Chinese Lanterns floating in the wind. All of the "well I never said it was Alien I just wanted to bring it to the board" is just an excuse for you to post video after video and get your stars and flags and then come back and later say that you knew it was a Chinese Lantern but wanted to have a discussion on it.

I am so tired of seeing the same videos over and over again with the OP's taking zero responsibility in clogging boards up with Lanterns and helicoptors, then call for the thread to be closed and start up another one the next day. That isn't some kind of investigation, it is not your responsibility to post every youtube video with the word "UFO" in it to ATS in order to foster some kind of discussion. I'm serious, its not your responsibility, you don't need to do it. If there is a legitimate UFO video, it will get plenty of attention don't worry.

I know this is harsh, and I am sorry I am dropping it all on your shoulders, but I am tired of it all. This is becoming nothing more than a spot to repost youtube videos with 0 thought put into threads what so ever, just people saying "Hey look what I saw on youtube, maybe there is a .5% chance it is a real sighting lets talk about it anyway though"
