February 2005.  I happened to walk outside for something and heard this giant whooshing sound.  Turns out it was the flame from a hot air balloon that was coming down fast onto our street.  It hit some tree branches but missed the street light by about 2 feet.

 


The chase truck arrives to carry the people and balloon off.

 


Here comes another one.

 


 

 

 


Deflatiing while the other one flys by.
