Sky Lanterns Banned By Scottish Council

Sky lanterns can be a major fire risk – once lit and set off into the sky you don't know where an ignited lantern will land

A Scottish council has banned sky lanterns on its property and its events after the NFU Scotland wrote a letter about their impact on livestock farmers.

By www.farminguk.com 12-5-16

The union said it would welcome both personal and public use of the lanterns being banned as they are a 'fire risk' and could be dangerous to livestock.

Stephen McCabe, leader for Inverclyde Council said the lanterns can cause huge damage both to the environment and to animals.

He said: "They can also put an unnecessary strain on the emergency services with people confusing them as distress flares or even UFO’s and calling 999.

      A possible group of 12-15 UFO's were seen above Lake Wylie on Tuesday evening.

A retired U.S. Navy officer says more than a dozen red/orange lights were moving back and forth above the lake. In a report on the National U.F.O. Reporting Center website, he says they circled for 5-8 minutes without a sound. [...]

UFOs Caught On Video Over Las Vegas Strip

By Roger Marsh OpenMinds.tv 12-1-15

      A Nevada witness at Henderson reported watching and videotaping a series of six bright lights “hanging in the sky” that eventually disappeared one at a time, according to testimony in Case 59929 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The sighting occurred beginning about 8:42 p.m. on September 18, 2014, and the lights appeared to be over the North Las Vegas area.

“I actually think this was further north than North Las Vegas, but distance at night is just a guess,” the witness stated.“The lights actually had a slight amber tint to them and you can see the passing aircraft. So we wondered if any aircraft saw the same lights.”

The lights looked like they were stationary in the sky. The witness believes that the camera settings were not correct and the video is a lower quality than expected (video seen below).

“The first sighting was in the northwest (towards Red Rocks), and the lights appeared at approximately the same altitude as the second recording/sighting that is attached. In the first recording there were only three lights. They slowly disappeared one at a time. Then in less than 30 seconds they reappeared in the north. We were in our backyard that overlooks the strip and mountains. We always look at the strip which is approximately 12 miles from our home. In the north-northwest there is not normally any approaching aircraft landing lights. This would be an odd approach for landing aircraft. Both my wife and I used to work for the airlines at McCarran.”

      A UFO shaped like a triangle of lights has been caught on camera flying above San Diego.

The phenomenon has become known as 'Black Triangle' sightings because of their dark shape.

The video, which has been shot during the night, clearly shows a formation of lights floating above someone’s house.

If you look closely you can see the lights make up a triangular shape, similar to large objects that have been seen before. [...]

      UFO, drone, helicopter or just simply a mystery?

What was that in the skies over San Diego?

Mar Vista High School Sophomore Garret Conder was watching the Chargers game with his family last Thursday night, Sept. 3, when at approximately 8:10 p.m. his older brother Robert Peraza yelled from outside “You guys got to see this.”

Conder described what happened next: “We all ran outside. It was the most credible piece of UFO evidence I had ever seen. In the south east sky it was a diamond shaped object. Goldish-yellow lights. Very bright, not blinking like aircraft lights. I’ve never seen anything like it. My jaw dropped. I was flabbergasted. The lights were in a weird formation, flying above and below each other. [...]

Conder, speculating that it might be of an extra-terrestrial origin, immediately turned to social media, “Tweeting” to the world what he had just witnessed. Others responded that they had seen the same thing, some posted pictures, one person with the screen name @BigKidGeorge from National City posted a short video clip. [...]

UFOs Glide Over Three Florida Towns | VIDEO

By Lee Speigel The Huffington Post 1-26-15

     On Saturday night, several eyewitnesses in three Florida locations reported seeing unusual groups of lights in the sky, sometimes forming a gliding triangle pattern.

At approximately 6:35 p.m., YouTube user Jennifer Schee saw three lights above a West Palm Beach, Florida, highway. . . .

"I saw one first, then it disappeared over the ocean," Schee wrote. "Then I saw the three in this video. Then there were two that came that I have in another video. Then another. Then another. They all followed the same path and they all disappeared over the ocean up in the sky, not down over the horizon."

Schee wasn't alone during her sighting, and another eyewitness, Katelyn, commented on her similar observations about 13 miles north of West Palm Beach.

"I saw three, but one at a time in my neighborhood going towards the east coast, each one bright and when their light disappeared, I kept tracking it with my eye and could see a silver dot still gliding through the air in Palm Beach Gardens. It was going west to east all three of them . . ..

UFOs Seen Over Fort Smith? | VIDEO

     Strange lights lit up the sky in Fort Smith, N.W.T, this weekend, leading some residents to question whether or not they'd seen something out of this world.

Taxi driver Gabrielle Landrie first spotted the lights at 12:30 a.m. on Sunday morning.

"They were spread out like a huge fan," she said. "Some were coming from the left, some from the right, and they were all lining up as they were flying over Fort Smith."

Landrie, who was carrying passengers at the time, pulled over for a better look.

"The way the lights were flashing... red lights were flashing on the bottom, a little bit of white light on top. And the direction they were moving, how they were moving."

Landrie, who says she believes in extraterrestrial life, says others reported seeing the lights over the weekend through Facebook and Twitter. One sighting came as far away as Enterprise, which is 300 kilometres away by road. . . .

Multi Coloured UFOs In Formation Over Austria

     Austrian officials say they are baffled to explain a UFO sighting in which dozens of people reported seeing between 50 and 100 objects flying in formation.

The incident happened over the Aichfeld basin near the city of Knittelfeld in the southern Austrian state of Styria where eyewitness Juergen Trieb, 41, and his girlfriend Waltraud Kaliba, 40, managed to take this snap before the high speed objects vanished.

Waltraud said: "At first we thought it might be some kind of natural phenomenon, but when we realise they were flying in formation and travelling around 400 mph it was clear that it could not be dismissed as something natural. The strange thing was that despite the bright lights there was no noise at all from the objects."

Local media reported that the images as taken in this snap were seen by several people, and that there were between 50 and 100 of them all flying silently and in formation. . . .

    The phenomenon of mysterious lights appearing in the night sky has returned to the U.S., specifically the Cincinnati, Ohio, area this past weekend, puzzling witnesses who recorded the event.

John Maisel shot videos Saturday night at 9:45 p.m. as he and 20 others from two neighboring families witnessed red and white lights floating over their homes in Greenhills, Ohio, a town 20 miles north of Cincinnati.

“What are those?” says a voice in one of the videos.

“Could be a drone,” says another.

“A rocket light!” yells one child.

“It might be the angels,” states one witness.

“It might be a little alien,” whispers another.

“This is kind of scary,” says a youngster.

“No, it’s cool,” comes a response.

“We saw over a period of 15 to 20 minutes at least 14 of these and I was able to record three of them,” Maisel told WND. “Each came from the same place on the northern horizon, flew south until they hit between 90 and 120 degrees and then disappeared.”

“Each light moved in a smooth straight line,” Maisel continued, with each “dead silent” light taking “about 1.5 to 2 minutes to get across the sky and blink out.”

     ORANGEVALE - A discovery by an Orangevale woman may have cracked the case of the mysterious lights over Sacramento on New Year's Eve.

"I actually found it New Year's morning and I didn't know what it was. I have never seen anything like it before," said Cathy Adams.

Adams says upon further research, she discovered the object was a sky lantern, the object many people claimed to be mistaken for U.F.O.s on New Year's Eve.

Adams said she reviewed internet and news reports and concluded what people saw all over the state were sky lanterns.

She said she doesn't know who released them, but she believes they could be a fire danger. . . .

UFOs? Readers Shoot Down Speculation

     It’s a bird . . . It’s a plane . . . No it’s . . ..

What is that illuminated thing flying up over the top of my house?

That’s a question that a lot of Manteca residents asked on New Year’s Eve when they stepped outside and saw the strange sight of what appeared to be illuminated orbs floating through the night sky.

They were definitely flying objects. But whether they were unidentifiable or not depending on who was looking at them – the same strange lights were reported as far south as Hollywood and as far north as Sacramento.

Several Bulletin readers were able to get a good look at them and most believe that they were nothing more than a series of floating luminaries – wish lanterns – that were being raised progressively over the course of several minutes as the clock approached midnight.

“I saw them too – they were definitely luminaries,” wrote Michelle Andreetta. “I even said, ‘Imagine if those are UFOs,’ because they totally were not UFOs. I even watched one flame out.”

Deanna Uecker said that she didn’t get the chance to snap a picture, but noted that with “100 percent confidence” the lights were luminaries.

“One flew right over us and there was no mistaking what it was.”

And apparently there was more than one source. . . .

Editor's Note: Videos of UFOs continue to surface in the aftermath of the New Year’s Eve festivities. The source(s) of the better majority of the sightings are rather obvious for those who pay attention to these matters; however, some witnesses (and UFO advocates) still argue that not all of the sightings are so mundane.

In any event, below is yet another example of what has been seen (and often times recorded) from coast-to-coast. This videographer posted his sighting under the YouTube account, Kurtin Rod and offered only this: “UFO sighting on new years eve in El Cajon ca.” Other witnesses were quick to chime in. . ..

UFO Sightings: Sweden Sees Its Skies Lit Up On New Year’s Day

     UFO sightings in Sweden lit up New Year’s Day, causing the alien hunters to investigate.

As previously reported by The Inquisitr, many reported UFO sightings in California in the same time frame although the FAA didn’t see anything.

UFO Investigator Tobias Lindgren of the non-profit group UFO-Sweden claims UFO sightings are common during New Year’s:

“A lot of the reports during New Year are triggered by the Thai lanterns. Every year, I investigate between 50 and 60 sightings. I expect to have a lot to do this year, too. People think the lanterns are UFOs, but I recognize them immediately. Some people are very relieved when they find out."

UFO-Sweden claims their objective is to “turn the UFO subject into an established and respected field of research.”

Sweden’s UFO sightings probably should have lessened this year because the government implemented a new law regulating the release of hot air lanterns:

“Since November 1, Swedes no longer need a permit to launch the hot air born lanterns into the night sky. Anyone living within 100 metres of any of the main airports, however, must warn flight control they want to send the Khom Loy lanterns skywards.” . . .

Below is a video taken, apparently one day before ("Dec 31 2013 1258 pm") over San Francisco and posted under the YouTube account, Bufflow Souljah. The videographer reports:

"About 15 or 20 came from like toward the south bay or even from Half Moon Bay, eased up a bit when they got over a portion of the and then in sequence I watch them exiit our atmosphere"

    UFO’s in San Antonio. There have been two different sightings on two different days this week. It was captured on video by a man shot Sunday night near the Castroville Road on the West Side. It shows orbs of light hovering in the sky for nearly thirty minutes.

A day later another woman spotted colorful lights over the Leon Valley area. Both believe they witnessed UFO's.

"It was scary," said Irene Trujillo. "But it was awesome too at the same time. Because you're like seeing something; not knowing if you're going to get zapped."

A WIGAN man claims to have seen martians meandering through the skies over Marsh Green.

      The man, who doesn’t wish to be named, spotted a mysterious object last night (Tuesday) and was so stunned he whipped out his mobile phone and filmed it.

“It was big and orange and moving oddly - it wasn’t a plane or helicopter and it looked too big to be one of those chinese lantern things. I don’t know what it was. Perhaps it was martians, who knows?

“It was late - about quarter past eleven - and I was just going to bed when I saw it out the corner of my eye.”

There have been numerous sightings of strange objects over the skies of Wigan during the last decade - some easily explained, some not so. . . .
