On the way home from work last night, over the sky of Poole, was a floating white light drifting out to sea......a Chinese lantern.
These things are getting more popular, available in garages and even available at book clubs. I was aware last night that one had already sparked several 999 calls down in the Weymouth area after a lantern was seen drifting out to sea.
So a plea.....no problem with having these things, but please if you are going to let them off within 5 miles of the sea, please contact the Coastguard, it will save time, money and more importantly someones life as some one might see a real flare and think its a lantern.
