Flying Lantern

The Sky Lantern is thought to be the historical precursor to the hot air balloon. Made from paper with a bamboo frame, the whole structure is lifted by hot air generated by burning fuel just below the balloon.

Much more restful than fireworks, you can light and release a Sky Lantern on a still night and watch it rise gracefully into night sky. If you're really lucky someone might spot it and think it's a UFO.

The Flying Lantern comes all ready assembled with it's own fuel block, so you just need to pick a still night, unfold it, light it and watch it fly.
