Sky Lanterns, Helium Balloons, Swamp Gas Around the World
23-Apr-2008


Lights Over Phoenix
Residents of Phoenix, Florida and Germany all reported unusual lights in the sky on Monday night. The lights above Phoenix formed a U, then a square, then other formations before disappearing. Both the Air Force and the FAA denied that they were aircraft. A Phoenix resident, however, claimed that one of his neighbors had launched flares on helium balloons, which accounted for the sightings. However, the neighbor who had allegedly launched the balloons could not be identified.

In St. Augustine Florida, local media explained that the lights seen there were made by candle lanterns, which they claimed can rise as high as five thousand feet. No mention was made of how visible a single candlepower lantern might be at an altitude of a mile. However, if you light a birthday candle, then drive a mile away, you can see how dramatic such a sighting would be.

A YouTube video released by a videographer claiming to be from Germany also showed orange lights similar to those videotaped in Florida.

Unfortunately, at this point, there is no way to tell whether these are genuine UFO events on a worldwide scale, or the coincidental release of candles and flares. And who knows, maybe swamp gas was involved, too.

Sometimes you can learn the truth from fiction, and sometimes the truth is STRANGER than fiction!
