I was expecting to see one of those that is 5 feet tall! Apparently, the homeowner has never seen this kind of thing. I bet the first emergency responder that rolled up to the scene just laughed his arse off!

My nephew is going to be excited to hear all the commotion his birthday gift caused

Should the sheriff/bomb squad not have been called? The homeowner had no idea if it was live or where it came from.
It had a damn parachute

Yeah, Joetato let a Chinese balloon float around the United States for how many days until they decided to destroy it?

This is yet another example of modern Soy Boy culture. Anyone should take one look at that and know it’s a model rocket. Mainly because kids should be out with their dads shooting those into the sky from the age of 8 to 10. That and building campfires and camping. All skills that modern kids lack. It’s damn sad.
My kid, the eagle scout, designed and built this two stager a few years ago for his troops "rocket lunch campout" near the Bonneville salt flats. It was a two stage rocket that flew on two F engines. Topped out at close to 2,000'.
In other words, he has all the skills you mentioned. Lol

The one in the picture is not nearly 5 feet tall.

4-5' would seem a close estimate based on the guys foot in the back.
I guess that might be a toddler

It helps when there are no trees around for miles. Oh, and a good pair of binoculars. (but this one had GPS tracking on it. (it went in the clear payload bay near the top))

Flashback to the Estes Scorpion two-stage model rocket produced between 1979 and 1988.

Makes a lot of sense,
We've gotten pretty good at tilting into the wind but sometimes it's hard to tell what's going on 1500' up,
Sucks when you spend a week building and air brushing only to lose it first flight. Liftoff is still an awesome experience nonetheless.
