    Just saw several lights dropping from the cloud cover about 1/2 hour ago over the Wicklow Mountains. What were they? :confused: (BTW, I'm not a UFO believer)

    That's what I was thinking, but I'm only in this house a year and hadn't seen it before.

    Sounds like someone was having fun with chinese lanterns?

    Or maybe they were those high powered beams marking some event? Used to have them a lot nearby Leixlip.

    This is what you want ...

    We tried them at new-year and they worked really well. If you are really keen on making your own you could copy the design, but there would be a fair bit of time involved.

    I wouldn't like to use them during a drought though.
