00:00:04,610 --> 00:00:03,080
this video of a mysterious glowing orb

2
00:00:06,590 --> 00:00:04,620
was caught by Chris Miller on his

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:06,600
infrared security camera in West New

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:10,530
York State on July 21st 2018 one theory

5
00:00:14,060 --> 00:00:12,330
is that is the sky lantern or Chinese

6
00:00:14,570 --> 00:00:14,070
lantern that randomly blew across his

7
00:00:16,070 --> 00:00:14,580
yard

8
00:00:17,630 --> 00:00:16,080
he didn't trigger the motion sensor

9
00:00:20,150 --> 00:00:17,640
until it got quite close so it kind of

10
00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:20,160
looks like it started there but why is

11
00:00:24,980 --> 00:00:22,710
it so bright a sky lantern uses a flame

12
00:00:26,929 --> 00:00:24,990
polite but does it really glow like that

13
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:26,939
what is the sky lantern look like on an

14
00:00:31,189 --> 00:00:29,730
infrared security camera scary lanterns

15
00:00:33,049 --> 00:00:31,199
are illegal in California so I made a

16
00:00:35,150 --> 00:00:33,059
simple model using a gas lighter and a

17
00:00:36,530 --> 00:00:35,160
white plastic bin now this flame is a

18
00:00:39,319 --> 00:00:36,540
lot smaller than the flame of a sky

19
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:39,329
lantern but let's take a look in normal

20
00:00:44,180 --> 00:00:41,010
video is not that impressive although it

21
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:44,190
does glow in the dark but if we switch

22
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:45,450
to infrared you can see it glows very

23
00:00:49,490 --> 00:00:47,850
brightly not only that word is it

24
00:00:52,130 --> 00:00:49,500
illuminates the surroundings and casts

25
00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:52,140
shadows just like in the orb video so

26
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:53,760
given that an actual sky lantern would
