FU___ IN A! Pink Floyd References always welcome on Freerepublic. Maybe the UFO has the PIG man, ol’Roger Waters sung about on Animals!

Or — it could be one triangular shaped craft......

Much fun... back when. Years ago I used two straws in an X shape nailed together with a pin - on top of the pin I placed a birthday candle, then instant-glued the x to the bottom of a small plastic bag - made three of them late one summer night and after lighting the candles, I let them go, and all three floated up and headed off into the sky.

A few minutes later I was shocked to hear on the radio in the garage that, "three UFO's had been sighted flying in formation" but "all three had suddenly disappeared." My guess was that they reached a sudden gust of wind.

Later I used hearing-aide batteries with attached LEDS inside balloons, releasing 3 or 4 at a time. These lasted longer, but problem with the balloons was that they went much higher and didn't stay "in formation." Some of those launches also caused local radio to talk about 'UFO's".

But - I gave the whole thing up not long there-after - thinking they might cause the loss of an airplane (over-reaction, loss of control.)

I always liked Floyd. Check out the link to the Gilmour song on my homepage (toward the bottom of my music links).

They’re lanterns. You can tell when the first two go up and “vanish” it’s just the wind extinguishing the flames. The “pulsating” one looks just like a flickering flame inside one of those lanterns.

thought I was having a Star Trek flasback.
