Armada would imply they are war ships. Looks like garden variety aircraft to me. Possibly military training.

lanterns!edit on 22-5-2011 by GezinhoKiko because: (no reason given)
The person in the Video making that comment was simply giving her opinion as we all are. Doesn't mean it's right!
But this comment being made tells me - it isn't a hoax - she made a genuine comment though perhaps has never seen an armada of lanterns before either. I haven't - have you? There wasn't any flickering as you may expect from lanterns.
Watch National Geographic - Alien Invasion Documentary - Teaching us how to survive one. Now Why would they want to do that??

They look like and behave exactly like Chinese lanterns as far as I can tell.
They are moving slowly up (from the heat from the candle), but are otherwise all drifting in the same direction with the wind.
I can't believe I missed this as I live in Surrey, but there you have it.
While I agree with you that Chinese lanterns move in such a manner, isn't this how you would envision an advanced aircraft hovering over a city to move?
For the people that say these are Chinese lanterns, please PROVE this. Show us real evidence that lanterns were released. If you can not do so then this sighting must remain unidentified flying objects, rather than drowning the thread in posts like "chinese lanterns, no doubt.". That doesn't cut it debunkers!
You could say exactly the same thing about any random grouping of stars, especially since it is much more likely that an advanced spaceship would be hovering much higher in the sky. Don't just give comments like "looks like stars", PROVE that these are stars!" LOL
FYI: I am not a debunker, but it is highly probable that these are just Chinese lanterns.

What I'm saying though is instead of allowing this thread to be inundated with unsupported claims that these are chinese lanterns, how about one of these extremely determined debunkers goes out and gets real evidence that lanterns were indeed released that day. Surely if that many lanterns were going to be released, it was to mark some kind of event or person and there is more than likely some mention of it in a local newspaper or on a local news site. If that proof can't be provided however, then these simply can't be written off as chinese lanterns and MUST remain unidentified flying objects until proven otherwise.
Too often do videos like this get written off as chinese lanterns with no real proof that they are so.

Why don't you go out an "prove" they are lanterns?
Seriously, there is nothing whatsoever in the video to suggest they are anything else but totally ordinary Chinese lanterns. What do you think we are going to do? Start knocking on doors in Surrey asking if anyone let off Chinese Lanterns on May 19th?
I agree with you that no one has "proven" these are Chinese lanterns, but why would I spend even a minute investigating something which is very easily explainable as a common Chinese lantern? LOL
I will keep my eye out for any mention in the local papers or other media, but so far, no one else has even mentioned them.
