Chinese Lanterns or UFOs?
UFO stories always make a splash in the news, everyone loves a story speculating about extra terrestrials coming to visit the Earth. Sadly for the conspiracy theorists there might be a slightly more mundane explanation to sightings, Chinese lanterns are often the reason for reports.
The latest sighting involving Chinese lanterns as one of the explanations took place in Harborough, England. A glowing object was filmed by a man doing some light exercise in the park, the footage was then later given to a local newspaper that ran the story on their website.
The video is certainly very interesting to watch, and the glowing object is definitely some way up in the sky. There have been a few interesting ideas about what it is, with one likely theory being that it is the International Space Station, as it was apparently orbiting in the same area as the sighting. On occasions the space station can be seen when the Sun reflects of it, giving it a very similar look to the object in the video.
However here we think there is probably a much more likely explanation, it wouldn’t be surprising at all if it just turned out to be one of our sky lanterns, they are the reason for numerous mistaken sightings and if you compare the video to the pictures on our website you can see the similarities.
If you have your own reported sightings of UFOs that need an explanation, of if you just want to find out some more about our lanterns feel free to send us an email at sales@wishlantern.com.
