Golly! It's funny I should find something about the mysterious orange lights on here, I have seen them on two separate occasisions.

I live north of Bristol (UK, that is) and have seen them a couple of times. Last night I saw two and watched them until they disappeared. They weren't following the usual flight path that I see daily. There were none of the usual flashing lights that planes have and no sound at all, just balls of bright orange.

Having been born into an RAF life, gone to many air days and lived near Luton Airport, I am positive they are not planes or helicopters. Well, not as we know them.

Oh, and by the way, Hi again everyone old and new. Foxy is back. (Well, they don't got a fox emoticon. Do they, Mr Doggy?)

Welcome back, Lucy. You'll find some excellent new rules re deleting reviews and seeing which is your lowest rated review.

The mysterious lights? Chinese lanterns, for almost certain sure. The first time I saw six or seven orange fireballs drifting out over the sea, I rushed for my camera. Now I don't bother. It's the new and cheaper way to celebrate the conclusion of events like carnivals, weddings, birthdays, etc - rather than shelling out thousands for a fireworks display, you can have dozens of Chinese lanterns for less than £100. They look lovely and they don't frighten the horses.

Just to be pedantic, they are not really Chinese lanterns (which hang from buildings) but Kong Ming lanterns, named after the general who first used them for signals.
