Happy New Year, Davis! Did anyone else see the flying lanterns sailing over Somerville a few minutes after midnight? We had no idea what our eyes were seeing in the sky, until one fell (on someone's roof, briefly). Anyone know where they were launched from?

(This is not a pic of the ones we saw, but they looked like this up close).

A flaming object landing on a house roof sounds a bit dangerous, no?

my exact thoughts. you're not supposed to use those things in populated areas, only in open fields or at the beach etc. good thing no-one's building caught on fire!

You're not really supposed to use them anywhere! They can cause wildfires and harm wildlife who come across the wire frames.

Yeah, that’s what I thought. When it landed on the porch roof (right across the street from us) I got my phone out and [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom and I were debating whether to call the fire department or just ring the doorbell when it blew off the roof and landed more-or-less safely in the driveway.

No idea, but I'm amused that they look just like the ones from the movie Tangled.

LOL that's exactly what I thought of, too!

Please tell me someone wasn't stupid enough to use these in quite possibly one of the most flammable neighborhoods I have ever known.

You might report it to the police -- it's pretty dangerous.
