Trying out Chinese Flying Sky Lanterns at Night! (by Just Artifacts)

Every see floating Chinese Lanterns? Remember the Kingdom from "Tangled"? We used these to celebrate my mother's 80th Birthday...we released 6 to symbolize her 6 kids going off into the world...each bringing a bit of light. It was a wonderful moment. I do a review here to show how they work.

Can you please show or describe the moment when the chinese latern "disappears"? I mean the last seconds of its presence on the sky untill it is totally gone.Thanks.

I came here to compare the lights in the sky and I have to say, I think a lot of what we are seeing is Chinese lanterns.

Excellent explanation and demonstration. You should do more vids telling people how to do even the simplest of things. I'm older and my brain doesn't function like it used to....so this video really helped me to do ours right. We did them for the fourth holiday for the grandkids. Thx again

Welp, there goes my UFO story down the drain.

[kellycoleman]

We just released some tonight. The same kind as his. This granddaughters loved them.

Hello is there a working link to purchase them?

[kristiefish]

Thank you for posting this. I've been looking for an eco-friendly alternative to helium balloons, to release in honor of my 22-yr old son who died in Nov, 2020💔

Some time ago i saw a group of people releasing loads of lanterns on the anniversary of thier friend who died. As i got of the bus i looked up at the sky and saw 3 very bright lights. They were of very bright white with a peach colour on the outside, all in a straight row, not moving.There was nobody about to ask 'what is that'. I went into the shop and wanted to say 'come and see this' but knowing my luck they'd have dissapeared .When i came out of the shop the lights were still beaming down.Was it lanterns?

Can the start a fire when they come down? Or hit a tree?

[ghostchick]

Someone threw some up the other night. Thought we were being invited by ufos! At least 50 of them! And I can't see well! Hahaha!

So, did this continuosly gain elevavation, or did it stop rising and travel about 60 miles per hour across the sky? If you had lite multiples of them and released them at the same time, do you think they would have flown in formation horizontally from wear you released them? Just trying to get your perspective. Thanks

[zjffrancis]

Where's the best place to launch? I have the beach in mind 🤷‍♂️

[jakcarn]

These dont go thousands of thousands of feet off the ground. These are mistaken for ufos but there are some lights so high and travel in formation which cannot be explained

[juancarlos]

someone knows what their fuel is made of????

[maiseydoodle]

They are pretty but also very dangerous. I’ve seen where a down draft can drive them into trees causing a forest fire.

As a rural resident who often has to remove people's flying trash out of our tree line, I would like to point that that old school flaming flying trash is absolutely not an improvement on modern flying trash.

[malachiwhite]

You've just created a flying saucer report . . .

[jjmcwill]

I've seen UFO videos just like that thing

[HD-J.R.]

They are beautiful. I saw dozens of them in the sky tonight. It was a really cool thing to see. Then as I left the area I saw them on the roads. A lot of trash is biodegradable, but it's still someone's trash and when it isn't contained on your own property, its littering and actually a crime. Same as a paper bag from McDonald's only much bigger.

[Consabre]

This looks like its both dangerous and littering at the same time
