Oh, no.
Here is the photographer, for one:

No way were all of these people fooled by a fire lantern. And then you have the beams of light, which aren't typically a characteristic of fire lanterns. Anyone can read what the witnesses said and make their own decision about it. From:

What They Said
Key quotes about the event that I have found by combing though and culling reports from newspapers in the days following the event include:
Mayor Wolfe, who would characterize the whole thing by saying that “the phenomena was terribly strange.”
Officer George Dyckman: “I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.”
Reservoir employee Fred Steines stated: “A bolt of light shot down from it as if attracted to the water, like a beam emitted from a portal.”
Councilman Warren Hagstrom: “We got goose bumps all over when we saw where the hole was.”
Patrolman Joe Cisco (recorded on police radio): “Something landed in front of the dam. Something’s burning a hole in the ice! Something with a bright light on it, going up and down!”

Other witnesses named in the Press at the time include two teenagers (Sloat and Melegrae) and Newark College of Engineering student John DiGiamoco as well as some of the wives and children of those listed above. It was reported that by night’s end, the Police Department had received “dozens” of phone call reports of the object from different locations and vantage points from surrounding areas. The early reports had apparently instigated town officials to convene at the Dam to see the sight for themselves. Of course not everyone saw all of the more spectacular aspects of the incident, with some only reporting less impressive “anomalies” depending on when they arrived, from where they viewed.What They Said
