“I was at the wedding party and they WERE lanterns!!n These comments are absolutely hilarious though. Im not being funny but they were floating at about 5 miles an hour and there are people on here saying they were dashing round the sky. I THINK NOT!

“Dear All,
As much as I would love to be witness to a real UFO sighting, I can proudly say that the 8 lights over Carlton on Sunday night were infact lanterns.
I bought what was meant to be 10 but was infact only 8 (damn eBay) lanterns for my sisters second day of wedding celebrations.
I have no photos myself as I was too busy organising lift off, which turned out to be a military operation with so many drunken people!
7 lanterns went off without a hitch each with a wedding wish for the new happy couple, the 8th (which was damaged) eventually took off with a cheer!!
We had a lovely party and if I may say so myself I think the lanterns were the highlight of our evening, they did look magical but certainly not..alien!
Ps. Congratulations to my sisters Izabella and my new big brother Aidy!”
