Waiting for the next shoe to drop and Sunday Evening.
So Sunday we go to a dinner party and it's at this fortified compound disguised as condominiums, and now that I think about this whole incident the condo's are all adobe structures. So anyways, I see light after light drift across the sky with a bright orange red color, and I'm quite sure these aren't aircraft. They all follow the same path and make long graceful arcs until they blink out and vanish, and all at the same general location. I'm guessing there were like 15 or 20 of these lights.
Well this is at a dinner party and so I'm not alone, and I interrupt a discussion and ask everyone if they are taking notice of these plasma balls in the sky. Oh yea, well those are Chinese Lanterns is what one guy says. I'm like you must be joking, seriously you think those are Chinese lanterns? Then one or two more begin to explain how, oh yes, these are released by the Chinese because it's some kind of celebration.
Now, I'm about half convinced by this explanation because we do have an international district and I have seen Chinese Lanterns and they can look very much like these lights. So that and the lack of a frame of reference for height and distance is beginning to make this explanation sound half way believable, but then along comes an aircraft on a tact towards Seatac, and quite clearly these lights are somewhere between 4 to 5 miles away, and they are very high up. Well above the approach pattern. Many thousands of feet. It's difficult to say how high but well high enough that any lights from aircraft would be specks in comparison.
So ya know, all I can say is I'm pretty sure these aren't Chinese Lanterns, despite the insistence of other more delusional guests whom perhaps had more wine than I had beers. The thing is, these are all intelligent people, some very successful and all old enough to know better, or so I would have thought. WT*?
This incident appeared to me to be virtually identical to the this video, only I saw these from further away and they were much high up, but essentially they moved and appeared out of no where and then vanished back in to no where.
