With the evening atmosphere inversion they would be carried out over the lake to drift along for many many miles of exposure to the lake shore residences. For days even weeks after I would hear the stories at the local Store/Post Office about the sightings of strange flying objects glowing in the nite sky and then suddenly glowing brighter and disappearing. (due to some candle power loss and deflation of the dry cleaners bag collapsing into the remaining candles and igniting the bag)
One incident back in 1994 was even reported to and covered on the local television news with interviews of locals one being the shop foreman at a local fabricating shop I worked at. A week later the truth was revealed to the television reporters with a demonstration, the rouse at the shop towards the poor guy by the crew carried on for weeks after.

Next time you take your suit to the cleaners, save the bag. Make a bamboo hoop for the bottom with a support for an aluminum muffin cup in the center. Put a cerno candle, the kind used by those small camp stoves in the cup and light it. Don't forget to take the laundry tag off the bag, they can be traced.
