Does anyone have any info on the triangular aircraft that flew over the encampment just befor the man burned? It was illuminated with what appeard to be fluorescent lighting and occasionally emitted a laser beam.

It was a remote controlled aircraft - only a couple of feet across at most. And really light, because I saw a guy holding the thing just after the temple burn. It was lit up with el-wire.

I saw someone operating it on Friday night, flying the thing above the Disorient bus. It was one of my favourite things at BM this year... a really neat invention.

I saw that aircraft while sitting waiting for the Temple to burn and it was awesome! It really added to the burn and seemed like a little lifeforce of it's own.
I would love to know what kind of aircraft it was and I my congrats to whoever was doing the flying at night! Nice job!
Also, I think various people who had lasers were pointing them at many objects while waiting includiong the Temple, the UFO-aircraft, kites that were flying near the Temple and above the group of people watching.
