Still Image of Orange Orb From Video. (Slightly Enlarged.)
Description: At around 12:30 AM last night (early June 17th), a friend and I were outside her home in Mill Creek, WA and saw a clear sphere with a flame in it come into view past some trees. I video taped it with my cell (attached). It was much closer in reality than the video depicts. (It looked like there was some kind of fire or flame inside it.) It moved relatively slowly and eventually was obscured by the roof of the house. We went to the front of the house at which time the sphere seemed to move upwards until it disappeared completely. I don’t know what it was, but here is the video. Please keep my information private. Thank you.
Note: I believe that the witness captured a Chinese Lantern on her video camera.
Yes, the amber color and “flames” inside the object definitely sound like a Chinese lantern.
I live in the Mill Creek area. We do have a high Asian population in this area. Not to say that only Chinese people make Chinese lanterns, but it would not be a surprise to see them around here.
I am also near Mill Creek, Washington and saw several (more than 8) orange lights moving through the sky with several neighbors tonight. They appeared and moved across the sky. Most were moving south. At one time a group of three were seen moving from the north to the northeast before disappearing. At least two of the lights moved along a very similar path from north to south several minutes apart, but both faded out at nearly the same position in the sky. One of the neighbors claimed that one of the first ones they saw curved or turned in the sky from north east to west, but this was before they came to get me to see what they were seeing. I only saw fairly straight paths on the ones I personally witnessed. Several orbs passed nearly directly over head of us near Thrashers Corner, but the group of three were low on the horizon and faded out or disappeared behind trees within a few seconds of each other as they were all visible at the same time. Our sighting occurred on July 4th 2012 while out watching fireworks.
