For the life of me I think that they were flying torches.

I remember in the navy we would take light, clear plastic bags and get them to fly by building a frame underneath them and lighting candles to heat the air.

Maybe that is what we were looking at.

By the end of the show we must have seen twenty or more of the things.

Kinda cool.

Really cool and they go up really far. Saw someone release a couple from their boat a few years ago at CTR Harbor fire work show
