Unitus Arts and Entertainment Festival 2011 will have it's own sky lantern ceremony this August 5th-7th. We invite everyone to come out to Tennessee and share this amazing experience! Check us out on facebook for exclusive giveaways and information!
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency says coastguards and lifeboats are sent out needlessly. In 2010 the agency recorded 1,500 flare incidents, of which 500 were believed to be false alarms caused by lanterns, while the CAA says they also pose danger to landing aircraft.
Crops are also at risk; last summer in Oxfordshire, a blaze from a lantern destroyed 2.5 hectares of barley. Litter is also a problem, said the NFU: "The people releasing lanterns wouldn't dream of dumping rubbish, but that's what is happening."
Civil Aviation Authority wants a ban on the sale of the sky lanterns, which are paper and wire hot air balloons fuelled by a naked flame. "People have no control where they land," said Nick von Westenholz, government affairs adviser for the NFU. Dorset and Somerset fire service said it had seen a sharp increase in lantern fires in the past year. Farmers say cows suffer stomach damage from eating the wire of fallen lanterns.
There was about 10 - 15 of us doing this the other day in rememberance of my moms uncle,but we didnt set them of in one go,anyway my mom got hers lighting but let go too soon and nearly burned my uncles head.Then it was really far up in the sky and the whole lantern went on fire and then dropped into a forest :/ it was kinda funny at the time cos anything new to my mom always goes wrong lol
@SuperGaz27 Same exact shit happened to me and my family. We were crapping ourselves thinking there were aliens that were attracted to all the fireworkds. Check out my video I posted of me acting like a retard.
@milhouse529 These are beautiful, but it's true, they fall EVERYWHERE, lol. I remember Chiang Mai the day after new year's and the remnant of the wire frames and unburnt cloth was all over the place. Not a big deal, though. For the most part people have it all cleaned up in a day or two.
this is completely magical. thankyou for uploading this, i want to have these when i get married. the music is brilliant as well :) Thanks again, Cara
there is not enough fuel, the vast majority burn out once they reach their highest altitude, in fact as long as the thing is burning it will stay in the air....
I was watchign this on Globetrekker last night, it's so beautiful Id love to see it live. Is the music the music that's playing in the background what was being played there or is it a cd or something. I really love that song.
they're soo beautiful. the sky lanterns. you get to write your wish onto the floating thing made outta paper and then you let it into the sky, to request for your wish.
Amazing video & a great song, braVo m8!

@milhouse529 I saw one of these the other day, thought it was a UFO,
I crapped myself when it landed in the field behind us. I went to explore with a torch and a baseball bat, Luckily though, just lantern.
