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.

Cool video! But aren't these things fire hazards? Could they land somewhere and start a fire?
Great music too! What's the name of the song and artist?

Well these are being let off in the UK where they don't really count as a fire hazard.
They only come back down once the fuel cell has gone out. But I wouldn't recommend using in them in very dry countries where forest fires take place!
