I read with interest your newest posting about ‘orange lights’ phenomenon.  I have noticed this description in the reports increasingly often over the last ten or twelve years.
 Far and away the commonest sighting now, from what I can see, is nocturnal lights, orange in colour and often described as being in ‘triangular formation’.  Clearly, any three things floating in the air at a distance HAVE to make a triangle, and the random floating movement of each point of that triangle could be mistaken for intricate maneuvers or rapid movements of some imagined solid object that the lighted points seem to outline.
 As for the orange colour – Chinese lanterns , as you note, could look like & actually ARE orange-ish lights.  But I think you are also correct that atmospheric distortion might well bend or mask red & white nav lights into a murky yellow/orange/brown.
 Two completely sane explanations. 

Question for me is, why is the ‘orange lights’ report so incredibly common particularly over the last decade? It definitely was NOT as common decades ago.  I remember a lot of reports of red, white, blue, green lights – often alternating flashes or thrumming of these colours on some unknown object.  This type of report seems to have gone by the wayside.  Now we have the NL, orange, in formation.
 So, a fad, then?  To me this is one of the most fascinating aspects of the whole phenomenon.  How much of it is purely sociological or psychological?
