Last night I saw a roundish orange light come up from the west behind our neighbor's tree. It was probably 100-200 feet up and steadily moved horizontally to the southeast out over the ocean before it blinked out. I got a good look at it through my binoculars.
Sad to say, I was disappointed; I immediately recognized it as some kind of lantern. I saw a burning flame surrounded by an egg-shaped transparent "plastic bag" and I could even see a few strings dangling from the bottom.
I called my wife out to take a look at it and she reached the same verdict. No other orbs followed.
This is not to say that I think all orange orb sightings are lanterns. There have been numerous truly puzzling orb sightings that don't seem to match the description of something that was human-made.
