Chinese lanterns are a recently trendy toy for releasing at outdoor parties. Yup, flaming incendiary paper toys to release upon the wind. What could possibly go wrong... -----Original Message----- From: seesat-l-bounces+paulgrace=lookoutranch.com@satobs.org [mailto:seesat-l-bounces+paulgrace=lookoutranch.com@satobs.org] On Behalf Of Michael Boschat Sent: Saturday, August 28, 2010 18:33 To: SeeSat-L@satobs.org Subject: My UFO mystery solved! Hi all: Well, 0120 UT a BRIGHT red object was seen overhead tonight like my last observation a week ago, but this time my 15x70 binoculars were at hand and I managed to see it -- a BALLOON with a flame in it. It was not manned as far as I could see but now I know what it was. I think someone did mention a balloon. But who launched it? ahh well...
