No unidentified object in the skies of Peschiera: UFO enthusiasts and lovers will be disappointed but the three luminous spheres observed on Friday night and photographed by many people are simply "flying lanterns" of oriental origin, very popular in the West that work with the same principle of the balloon. Have been used by Alice Hope in-law Claudia's birthday, celebrated on the shores of Lake Hotel Al Fiore owned by the family.
"I've bought on the Internet and we switched on during the party, "he says with amusement. "Before we turned one, around 21.30. After a while, 'we have seen that someone has sent around the campsite in the air two and so, almost like a challenge, we decided to light all three together, which were up more than usual accomplices apparently favorable air currents. And to be honest, given the height reached, "says the lady," there also were people who said "you'll see that someone will think UFOs. " It seemed to me an exaggeration but is actually just happened.

"Sky lanterns": this is the trade name for this kind of "bags" of average size of paper coated with non-flammable material and supported by a rigid part. The base plate is placed a kind of fuel which, when lit, heats the air that fills the lantern making it fly. A flight that can last for twenty minutes and ends only when it ends the fuel and the flame goes out. Do you know the altitude limit that can achieve: to secure several hundred meters. In the Eastern tradition the lanterns are a symbol of good wishes. "But this is our meaning: you should write, " concludes Alice Hope, "their wishes on paper lanterns, bringing them in heaven, help to achieve them. " GB
