I THINK we may be able to shed some light on the ‘UFOs’ seen in the area on August 7.

We had a party that night, as I have just finished work and we are moving away.

Around 10pm, the six of us in our family each lit and released a Chinese lantern.

I hate to spoil anyone’s excitement, but the lanterns really were very impressive, and did fly from west to east.
