Initial data
On the evening of 30 October 2016 at a party celebrating Halloween in Nashville, capital of Tennessee, USA observed a UFO. About 25 people witnessed the emergence of five objects, synchronously moving from the South to the North.
One of the party members noticed, both in the East over shopping center Green Hills, there are three white balls lined up in a triangle. And two of them were especially bright. A little later next to them appeared two of the same object.
"It was a warm night and we were all on the street, - the eyewitness wrote in his statement on world UFO network (MUFON) that same night. - I showed five balls in the sky all my friends, but some are dismissive about the idea that it is a UFO, others doubted or said it was Chinese lanterns".
Witness reported that the party took place in the district of Hillsborough drive, close to the International airport, but he was sure that it wasn't planes as lights in the sky were much larger and brighter.
In the end, after a few minutes, the balls started disappearing one after another with an interval less than a minute.
"It was pretty cool! I have never had such a feeling of distortion of time and space, - said a local resident. Unfortunately, a photo cannot really convey the brightness of these balls and their motion in the horizontal plane".

Investigation
Unfortunately, photos of this quality to judge the origin of these objects is quite difficult. However, the description of the witness "there are three white balls lined up in a triangle. And two of them were especially bright. A little later next to them appeared two of the same object.", "not planes as lights in the sky were much bigger and brighter","simultaneously moving" and "in a few minutes, the balls started disappearing one after another with an interval less than a minute", gives the right to expect that the objects are sky lanterns.
However, the wind on the evening of 30 October was blowing North-West, therefore, the objects that he was carrying, had to move from the Northwest to the Southeast, and this contradicts the eyewitness description.
Although, if you pay attention to the map and associate it with the words of the witnesses: "over the shopping center Green Hills, there are three white balls" and "the party was held in the district of Hillsborough drive, close to the International airport", the direction of movement of the balls should be protivoleprosnoe, because the Mall is West of the international airport. Based on this information, the version with sky lantern confirmed.
