Lights in the sky last night

Did anyone else see these?

Very bright orange lights flying from West to East at 12.05 am this morning. I counted 8 or 9 shapes flying in clusters of 2-3. Aircraft altitude but traveling much quicker than an aircraft.

I am usually very skeptical about these things... but just can't imagine what they might have been. Anyone else see them?

I saw something similar on Saturday evening but earlier, around 7.30pm, it was a flying/chiness lantern, they move steadily and are probably not at the same altitude as an aircraft - they are onl3 3 feet high so their 'smallness' may make them seem farther away.

It's very likely they were Chinese Lanterns.

Saturday night was a traditional formal birthday celebration for many Chinese - a bit like the Queen's 'official' birthday being different to the real one.

Thanks, that would explain it. I'm safe in the knowledge that there's 'nothing out there'... Cheers

Royal astronomer: 'Aliens may be staring us in the face'

... ?They could be staring us in the face and we just don?t recognise them. The problem is that we?re looking for something very much like us, assuming that they at least have something like the same mathematics and technology,? he said...

There was indeed some kind of Chinese / South east asian celebration going on on Saturday. I had the pleasure of witnessing a number of Dragons entering the Vietnamese restaurants on Kingsland Road for some kind of ritual pac choi offering.

Aliens have been visiting earth for years. Governments have been lying to us.
