Amazing footage of something burning up in the atmosphere. What is it?

Cool lights.
Nothing special...Great camerawork ...
No perspective, no nothing.

These are paper lantern baloons. Sticks with a candle or incense stick in the midle with paper cover to trap the hot air. We see one catching fire and burning up as it falls. Ashes are the only thing left probably. Looks like a lot of people let some go at once. Maybe a funeral.

Are you trying to be funny or do you really believe that B>S you posted?

If you really believe that, I feel sorry for you and anyone else who thinks along the same line... Last I checked, lanterns of any sort dont travel at high speeds and then come crashing down breaking up and resemble falling meteors....
