Parachute-like objects spotted over Mumbai airport

Around 6 pm Saturday, “five small parachutes” were observed approaching from southwest direction of the Mumbai International Airport, moving towards north-east along the direction of the wind. Since they were crossing the runway intersection, the Air Traffic Control (ATC) was advised by Apron Control to ask pilots on approach or take-off to exercise caution. Following this, a Jet Airways flight was asked to abort take-off and another flight was instructed to make a “go around”. Preliminary investigation suggests that they could be Chinese lanterns.
