I pulled in to a strip mall for a band gig at Fibber Magees and saw an odd triangle of starlike lights in the sky from my car as I parked and glanced out my window. I stargaze so I am always looking at the sky at night and bright starlike objects get my attention as I look for venus or Jupiter or marvel over aircraft that occasionally look like stars. This pattern of lights was odd to me. It was traveling very slowly West to East. There were no flashing lights or spotlights like urban aircraft would have and no additional lights became visible like with some craft as its angle changed passing over. I immediately started taking phone video which is attached. It was totally silent and in the same triangle shape the whole time. There is no variation in the position of the lights even when scrubbing the video I took fast forward and backward.

What you have to say about Jan. 2013 UFO sighting in same area ?
"The lights had a gentle flickering appearance like the flame in floating lanterns or like the mist in the air was creating a star like twinkle as it/they moved. The triangle shape stayed so perfect and unchanging that it seemed unlikely that it was a formation of free floating objects like balloons with lights or remote controlled aircraft in formation.

Mass Orange Orb Sighting in Chandler, Arizona
Given the orange orb description and their movement on the video in my opinion they are lanterns.

Here's another video from Chandler, Arizona this time from 6th Oct showing similar objects .
Mass Orange Orb Sighting in Chandler, Arizona Given the orange orb description and their movement on the video in my opinion they are lanterns .
The wind speed at the different heights can vary tremendously, from no wind speed to wind speeds of hundreds of miles per hour. In general, wind speeds are lowest near the ground and increase with height, up to several hundred feet above the ground. However, there are also special heights at which higher wind speeds are common - these higher wind speed areas are called jet streams.
A low level jet stream can form at the top of the temperature inversion at night, at about 100 to 300 feet, but is typically not more than about 50 miles per hour.

If these are sky lanterns how do you explain their speed? If the wind was blowing that hard you would hear it in the video. Also a tree is shown toward the beginning and it's not moving.edit on 10-11-2013 by Staroth because: (no reason given)

Thank you for your post!
I like it. However, its another case of blurry, small points of light. If they would have taken their camera out of AUTO FOCUS, they might have been able to get more detail.
All you UFO hunters listen up. If you ever see something in the sky and it is a far distance away. Put your camera in MANUAL focus, and adjust it until the object is clear'r. Otherwise, you'll end up with some nice fuzzy dots too.
