a few years ago we decided to do a big balloon release with whirlow farm,bought tags ect and the farm experts found it killed many animals inc cows,pigs ect,so we binned the lot as we are not being responsible to hurt animals ,okay a few quid could of been made for good causes,but not for us,animals need protecting,

Protecting then eating

On the extreme side I know but who'd have thought this could happen?

Yes, I too saw a small bunch of these glinting in the evening sunshine last night, very high in the sky over the Beauchief area.  There was very little wind but they appeared to be drifting from the Abbeydale Road (south) area . Just for information, earlier in the day I  had spent quite some time at the Woodseats festival and saw no sign of these type of balloons there.

Where do Chinese lanterns end up?

Christ I remember when people on this forum used to think Chinese lanterns were UFO sightings.
