    We sat on the roof. There was a brief moment when I turned around just after the parachuters over the Thornton show appeared in the sky and my heart rate doubled because I couldn't make sense of what I was seeing. Then my wife remembered they do that for that show every year.

    There is a spot about five minutes from our house where we can sit and watch the Louisville/Superior, Broomfield, Westminster, Northglenn, and Thornton fireworks all at the same time. At a certain point, I looked back toward Thornton and told my daughter, that was the weirdest fireworks I had ever seen. They look like five parasailing flares.

    For the record, Broomfield does the longest show and they had some very good exploding rings this year.

    MY wife thought the strange lights in the sky looked like UFO's, she was all excited, but reminded her that our life is not that exciting and they are probably Parachutists.

    We were 200-300 yards sitting on a bails of hay at Broomfield's show, my boys jump several times through out the bigger explosions.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"

    We decided to drive up to Thornton from DU to watch the fireworks. What freaked us out was the way the parachutists "dropped" out of the sky at about 200ft AGL. We thought the first guy's 'chute failed then realized it was supposed to happen that way. Very cool way to start the fireworks!

    Watched the englewood Littleton show from my roof with the gf and her kid... There was a drone flying behind the house. After it got hit with some random projectile it vanished, hypothetically
