"Terry witnessed eight large orange orbs flying very low and silently along the beach. They performed maneuvers that no Earth-made aircraft could possibly perform, in complete silence. Terry filed a report of his sighting with MUFON. When he met with his fellow MUFON investigators and related his story, he was met with laughter and told that what he saw was nothing more than candle-lit Chinese lanterns."
Seems to be the common or stereotypical remedy for dispatching orange and red orbs.

Unidentified red orbs spotted off our coast

EXCERPT: "I've photographed Chinese lanterns for weddings that I do. All of those have a center of brightness." said Burke.
Burke says the circles in sky she spotted were not like the lanterns she photographed. The lanterns she saw did not have that point of brightness. They were the same color all thew ay through. She described the orbs as moving against the wind, not with it unlike a lantern.
Driven by curiosity, Burke posted her video on Facebook. She was surprised to find out a lot of people had seen similar red circles all across the country, several were along the coast from Nags Head to Oak Island...

UFOs? Poultney residents says "no"; they launched Chinese 12 lanterns that night
https://suncommunitynews.com/news/83426/...s-route-7/
EXCERPTS: A Middlebury couple, preferring to remain anonymous, told The Eagle that they observed four, slow-moving "glowing orange globes" while driving north in a car along U.S. Route 7 near the town of Pittsford.
[...] The Vermont State Police dispatcher in Rutland confirmed to The Eagle that the alleged unidentified flying objects (UFOs) were sighted over Rutland County during the evening of Sept. 19 but could not provide specific details beyond what the couple reported.
[...] "The globes were flying in tandem," one of the pair said. "The sky was crystal clear and the stars were visible. But these things weren't stars or planets. They moved slowly and in a distinct pattern and direction. They were not erratic and appeared to be under intelligent control just like regular aircraft."
[...] Since the couple reported the objects to police, a Poultney resident contacted The Eagle on Sept. 23 and said that the "UFOs" were probably Chinese lanterns launched as part of a local memorial celebration.
Duby said that attendees of the event launched 12 lanterns, four at a time, as part of the gathering. If the lanterns were seen by the Middlebury couple, they would have been visible at a distance of over 30 miles.
Duby told The Eagle that a similar UFO report of orange globes, made in August of this year in nearby Wells, Vermont, was likely Chinese lanterns as well.
[...] But the Middlebury couple told The Eagle that they are dubious about lanterns being what they saw on Sept. 19. They told The Eagle on Sept. 24 that they are familiar with Chinese lanterns used in various celebrations and said that the orange globes they saw, which were flying high over Route 7, did not behave in the same erratic way.
"No way," they both said. "Lanterns would have been way too small for us to see so far away from where they were supposed to have been launched."
Similar orange globes in the sky have been reported elsewhere in Vermont; they have not been linked to floating Chinese lanterns...
