    Large numbers of what look like lit balloons have been passing over Claremorris for at least ten minutes. What are they?

    Finished now. There were dozens of them. Seemed to be low in the sky, passed over the town centre and seemed to be coming from the south. Anyone else see them?

    Something to do with awareness of suicide prevention.

    Ah, found a reference to it:
    This Wednesday 09/09/2015 @9.30pm we are gathering at Claremorris Boxing Club to light and release sky lanterns to brighten the sky for World Suicide Prevention Day (10/09/2015)
    They looked amazing going over the town. Wish I had gone closer to the source.

    Thought the aircraft authority took a dim view of these things.

    You need permission, which I assume these folks had.
