New Chicago sighting (with video).

Hopefully someone local can shed some light on this story.My first thought was Chinese lanterns until they started talking about formation changes.

Most probably lanterns again , the lights appearing to go on and off may just be due to limitations of the camera .
IMO

Yes Chinese lanterns now fly in formation!

Seriously, lets get over Chinese lanterns. That is the worst excuse to just push something under the table. Or you could just be the Air Force and call it "swamp gas"

Wonder what it could be. Maybe the military should start some investigations as to why there are UFOs in American airspace? Or if it is them maybe explain why they are flying formations by US cities without informing anyone? Even if they did investigate it I'm sure we wouldn't here the real story.

more on youtube. Lot of people saw the same event and filmed it. In some video's the balls of light change colour. Also they fly in formation and that is not something to expect from an chinese lantern.

I don't see any evidence of them "flying in formation" in any of the videos.
Can you tell be where you are seeing that.

The height, color, size, speed and the time of night the sightings were made are all consistant with them being Chinese Lanterns that were released after an evening event/party.

Don't forget the simplest answer is most often the right one.

This is clearly a case of swamp gas.

Nothing to see here folks, move along, find another thread to read.

No , they are floating in formation , not intelligently controlled just all in the same stream .

As long as they are in the same current, it can most certainly appear to be flying in formation.

People in the comments on that article are saying they were they ones who launched the lanterns:

They were released at a rally against child abuse.

Not to say theses are lanterns, but you are correct-lanterns will not fly in "formations" as you put it and this does not appear to be a true formation, or an organised, patterned style of flight that has a purpose. But, lanterns will most definately rest within a common current of air and "follow" each other because of it.

I see your problem. Your sick of people claiming that the most plausable explaination is the right one. It makes no sense, these light look like Laterns. And your talking like no one has or release Chinese Lanterns. Everyone can get a Chinese Lantern from a store near them or even on the Internet. No to mention they arent even hard to make for alot of people.

And these Lanterns werent flying i formation. The wind were simply blowing them like they always do.

Also going by the video's commentary. These people are amazed by these lights. This just proves humans are bad observers. I tell you alot of belivers give witness testimonials too much credit when they say everyone knows what blank looks like. They actually dont & its evident in every UFO vidoe with commentary

this is what people can make in 5 minutes. Once its up in the air ppl mostlikley called to report ufos

The frirst video is just some street lights filmed in wobbly vision and sold as UFOs

The UFOs are behind the street lights, in the middle.

Since when lanterns pop up out of nowhere? No one seems to have notice them going up either. And at this height, I think there's too much wind.
