Those look like Chinese lanterns to me, and I'm not saying this as a skeptic because I'm not a skeptic. They exhibit the same colors and
characteristics as the Chinese lanterns do, which accounts for the orange flickering glow and for the fact there are numerous lights that float slowly
and then eventually burn out, as evidenced at about 1:05 in the video.
I can also say that I have personally witnessed this phenomenon over the skies of my hometown a few months ago. It is, indeed, something that
captures your attention when you first witness it, but the reason I had trouble believing I was seeing an actual spacecraft was that the light was
flickering in intensity and appeared to simply burn out after several minutes. As in this video, the lights have the characteristics one would see
with a candlelight flame. I checked my local paper the day after my sighting and found there had been some sort of Filipino festival the night
before. I suspect the object I saw may have originated from that festival, but who knows.
