We can see it's not an opaque object, because one of the lights would be blocked by it.
My guess is that they are three different objects, and yes, probably Chinese lanterns.

You want to see something.....you want them to be alien crafts, you are blinded by your own faith, they are lanterns......its obvious.

Why all of a sudden has the entire world taken an interest in "chinese lanterns" when there have been tons more reports of UFO's lately than in past? Just wondering. I don't remember people calling them Chinese laterns 10 years ago, I remember them being weather balloons or swamp gas.
But it's hard to tell in this video.

Why are they always in triangular formations of 3?
It seems like only 3 people go to these Chinese funerals, usually with 3 giant lanterns and a string. I thought there were more lanterns released than 3 at a time, but I'm an American smart ass and not so learned on Asian customs.

These are not Chinese lanterns.
If the "one" you saw was not the one on the video you cannot honestly say it's the same thing, two unidentified things may not be the same thing.
The one I witnessed flew at a very high altitude and was probably about 20 km's from where I was standing, and yet it appeared very bright.
There's nothing that prevents Chinese lanterns from exhibiting those characteristics, so it's possible that they were Chines lanterns.
A Chinese lantern does not exhibit these characteristics.
