Chinese Lanterns was created by ChrisMcCauley
Maybe I'm going nuts but is anyone in Dublin seeing Chinese lanterns in the sky? I'm seeing a few drifting from SW to NE over Raheny. The first one had me completely baffled - really looked like a powered, silent craft.

They have proven very popular the past 2 years, I think with thanks to UTV (it's a feature of one of their intromissions between programmes).

yea, they can be very deceptive if you havent heard of them and you see one in the sky.
