5 Or 6 Floating Orange Lights Over Atlanta Georgia (Chinese Lanterns)

Date: January 15, 2011

Time: Approx: 7:00 p.m.

Brian, I live in Atlanta and saw something similar to what you described. Tonight, a group of us were tailgating in a parking lot outside the Georgia Dome prior to the Atlanta Falcons playoffs game. Around 7:00pm, about a dozen of us saw 5 or 6 floating orange lights that looked like they were hanging from some sort of parachute.

I have to assume that hundred of others saw the same thing, given that there were many people tailgating all around us. Because it had just turned dark, it was hard to see them very clearly. They were maybe 300 feet over the ground, traveling at perhaps 30mph. They gradually made their way out of sight after several minutes. Very strange.

Any explanation?

Floating Orange Flickering Object Over Virginia Beach Virginia

Date: January 11, 2011

Time: Approx: 9:10 p.m.

I saw some flying over General Booth Blvd. and Dam Neck Road at approximately 9:10 tonight. They looked like what you described. Orange and flickering like a dim flare floating by on a parachute. They were floating toward the ocean. Unfortunately I was driving and could not follow them.

I saw one go over top of me and another behind it following the same path. I came right home and Googled it on the internet and your site was the first I found. I live in Virginia Beach, Va in the United States. Very curious as to what they may be. Thanks.

Expert: Wellington, West Palm Beach UFO Sightings Were Probably Floating Lanterns

By Mitra Malek
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer

Glowing orange and red lights floated across parts of Florida's sky New Year's weekend, including in the Wellington and West Palm Beach areas, setting off a state of wonderment among witnesses.

But those UFOs weren't so unidentified after all.

The drifting bulbs and streaks were probably floating lanterns, said Brian Vike, founder of the paranormal blog The Vike Factor, which fielded about 250 e-mails, 30 or so from Florida, noting the strange sightings worldwide.

"They're all lit up and glowing," Vike said. "They'll go up and down and sideways, so it looks pretty weird."

Bright White Floating Light Over Springfield Missouri

Date: November 13, 2010
Time: 5:53 p.m.

I just Googled this, I too tonight just saw a white floating light that appeared to have some orange flashing light on the back, I'm in Springfield MO and I called my friends back in Hutchinson, KS and they saw it too so I knew it wasn't a plane. It was going East from the west slightly towards the south from the north sky about 10 minutes from this email.

Additional Information:

Pretty sure its the Space Station.

I found out it was the Space Station I had seen. The times for my area were dead on when I seen it here. The website is here, search your own area and see when you will be able to see it again and check with what you had seen. http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/cities/view.cgi?country=United_States®ion=Missouri&city=Springfield.

I also sent along the information to the eyewitness for the ISS.

Bright Floating Light Over Farragut State Park Idaho

Date: August 28, 2010
Time: Approx: 11:30 p.m.

Me and 3 of my others friends were walking out in the woods in Farragut State Park in Idaho. We came across a clearing so we decided to all lay down and look at the stars. We then noticed a ball of white light floating in the sky. We were surrounded by trees and we watched it move from one tree line to the next laying perfectly still.

It was as bright as the north star and maybe even its size too. It must have been a couple hundred feet up in the air. It didn't have distinct pattern of floating. It was very slow and it didn't float in a straight line. We all left after that, but I don't know what it was. Any ideas?

Additional Information:

I know it was August 28th 2010. I was camping so I wasn't exactly keeping track of time, but it was late at night probably around 11:30.
