I'm sure I'll get flamed for this thread title. But my friend pointed out to me what appeared to be 4 rotating white discs spinning while me and a group of friends were at the Avent Ferry Western light. I figured it had something to do with the game but those things didn't look like fireworks. It was around 9:30pm I believe.

This is what I saw last night around halftime.

9/17/2010 1:01:10 PM

So it was Jets of some sort? I figured it had something to do with the game.

9/17/2010 1:02:42 PM

paratroopers for the game perhaps? They weren't very visible until they turned on the sparks/flares at their feet. Parachute = white blob

there were four f-15s that flew over, but that was closer to kickoff (7:30pm) and i dont think they would have come back

9/17/2010 1:15:42 PM

The paratroopers were flying in tight circles. I took a video

9/17/2010 1:36:46 PM

9/17/2010 1:59:08 PM

9/17/2010 2:02:09 PM

9/17/2010 2:18:20 PM

yeah I wouldn't launch any flying torches until we got a couple of good rains

9/17/2010 2:19:14 PM
