Default Strange sightings over Merseyside last night

Nipped out for a smoke last night and up in the sky where what I can only describe as around 15 'lights' in a triangular formation follwed by several overs all of similar size

I have no idea what they were, but I ran in and grabbed the camera but the main batch had already gone over

They were all in some formation and all headed off in the same direction, left to right slowly rising and then speeding up till they disappeared above the clouds

I only managed to get a couple of crap pics but here they are

But a quick google shows something very similar a few years ago

UFO sightings bring town to a standstill | Mail Online

Now im not saying for one minute these were UFO's in the 'alien' sense but they certainly werent fireworks, lanterns etc

Here are my naf pics





Happened around 10.30pm last night

PS. Why did the nurses let you stay up until 10.30. ?

I was waiting for my medication

Having a google around it seems that they could most likely be chinese lanterns

Seems to happen a lot round the Halewood area too as there are quite a few reports of sightings round Liverpool

Saw something very similar down in Woking some weeks back but put it down to Chinese lanterns, from a local garden party -they too rose in formation all taken by the same wind until they hit higher altitude winds with far greater speed which causes them to accelerate and get lost in the clouds. Incredible sight and about the only down to earth answer I could conclude.

Do you think I'd get into trouble releasing a load from my back garden, which is under the final approach for Liverpool airport?
