You want a fun evening? Here's how to have a fun evening!

Get a large white (yellow or orange is even better) but light plastic trash bag. Tie four lightweight wires about 3 feet long equidistant around the opening. Bring the wire together together and fasten a highway flare at this point.

Now, light the flare and hold the trash bag to the the hot air from the flare fills the trash bag and sends the whole thing aloft. UFO reports will abound!

(Don't do this over populated areas or when there is a fire danger.)
