I’ve had an interest in UFO’s for a long time now, I try to analyse every sighting video or photo I find, trying to figure out what the hell it is. I’m always eager and excited at the prospect of something otherworldly or truly unexplainable, but I’m usually left disappointed. One major source of disappointment over the last couple of years, is a flood of a very consistent type of sighting, of eerie orange orbs floating over cities across the UK, and the rest of the world.  These orb sightings are something quite mundane 99.9% of the time, and seem to take up a similar percentage of the amount of sightings reported (at least in the UK). These sightings are usually Chinese lanterns, also known as Sky lanterns. The sheer amount of these trash sightings makes it ever more difficult to find that gem of a sighting that could actually be something interesting.
