Full Description of Event/Sighting: 5 orange objects originated to the left of my field of view and tracked on identical courses to the right of my field of view. This is going North to South. The lights appeared to originate from ground level, or close to it, and disappeared in the distant sky. My partner also saw the lights, and I took a video of two of the objects, which I have posted to YouTube.

Chinese Lanterns have been suggested as an explanation, but as I discuss in my reply to the comment, at that altitude wind turbulence from ground objects (we live in a built-up area) would have altered the track and/or course of the objects, which wasn't the case.
