Chinese Lanterns Spook Dallas Residents - Video

• When: July 27th, 2013
• Where: Rockwall (east Dallas)
• What: Bright lights, blinking on and off and making formations - possibly Chinese lanterns

A Texan has captured some pretty phenomenal footage of bright lights appearing and disappearing in the night sky, and even forming a triangle for a second. However, is this really just a case of Chinese lanterns from a wedding? So says a YouTube comment. And considering the timing (a Saturday night) and the location (waterfront), that makes some sense.

Here's the YouTube video and its description:

My mother and I witnessed about 15-25 red orb lights over Rockwall, TX around 9:45pm. The lights came shooting into the same area forming some type of formation over us. To say the least, I have no idea what this could be. Recored on an iPhone 4. Anyone else see this?

As well as a comment identifying these lights:

My friends say it was Chinese lanterns from a wedding. YouTube that and you'll see the resemblance - theaaronballard (who also commented that he saw the lights and recorded them, too)

Here's real video of Chinese lanterns for comparison:
