Orange Lights over Weirs Saturday Night
I overheard someone say, "the drones are out," but does anyone have any more info? There seemed to be quite a few orange lights floating south (I think) of Kellerhaus.

Chinese sky lanterns, most likely. Drones usually have two red and two green lights for navigation.

Could be "UFO's" constructed from dry cleaner bags, birthday candles and taped cardboard supports / cross-strips.
Dangerous, though: could easily start fires. |

Always thought those were cool but what a nice way to burn someone's house down the next town over.

Doesn't seem that odd to me. Once you let go of that lantern, you have no control where it goes. Some may argue the same goes for fireworks but if handled properly that is not the case.

In NH the lanterns are considered 'recreational fires' which, by law, are required to be 'attended' at all times. Once you let go of the lantern it is considered 'unattended'. You can legally fly the lanterns as long as they are tethered in some fashion, maybe kite string. Lots of these lanterns are still lit when they eventually come down.
Flying pu pu platters...what could go wrong? |
