We had a neighbor who sent up many of them a few weekends ago. At first, I was worried about the fire hazard. But they do rise quickly, and continue rising until all the "fuel" (waxed paper as I understand it) is burned out.
I was told that they are made of all biodegradable materials. They do look very pretty against a post-sunset sky. |

With the complete lack rain lately I hope one doesn't malfunction. We sure don't need what is going on out west. Up in Suissevale I worry about all the people lighting of fireworks as well.

My Brother-in-law launched some of these last seasons in Maine. I asked about the aspect of bio-degradability. It seems that some of these are 100% compliant (no wire) and some are not.
They look really nice going up but best to find a vendor/model that has no wire as well as a calm night as they don’t like a breeze getting off the ground. |

We saw about 10 of them rising Sunday night on Paugus Bay. I thought the same thing about the fire hazard, my daughter wanted to know if something happened to Repunzel (kid movie reference).
