they are called chinese wishign candles- or soemthign liek that- these were what they were

I've seen these. They're easily identifiable as floating candles. What I saw were definitely not floating candles. The lights I saw were extremely bight-white and passed behind high clouds. It was also a windy night. The first light I saw was perpendicular to the wind. The others were flying into the wind that was blowing from the north-west.

"I've seen these. They're easily identifiable as floating candles. What I saw were definitely not floating candles. The lights I saw were extremely bight-white and passed behind high clouds."

In my youth a friend and myself had a close encounter of the first kind in northern Nevada and have had numerous people over the years, usually uninformed know-it-alls, telling me what we really saw. The favored explanation is that it was a weather balloon. Next is that it was something military.

They not only have no idea but it's also an insult to one's intelligence. I now ask a skeptic what do *I* think it was? My answer:I have no idea.

Unless you've got access to Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAF) you can't go by the wind on the ground. It can be coming from completely different directions and speeds at different altitudes. As far as passing behind clouds, I've encountered those mylar party balloons at unbelieveable altitudes.
