Fireworks and Flying Saucers

$20.00

Did you know that fireworks were intially used to ward of UFOs? It's true*! Share the knowledge with this 11 x 17 inch digital print on handsome uncoated paper.

Comes with this description: Long before fireworks were used for Fourth of July celebrations, the low-level explosives and incendiaries were deployed to help keep curious & aggressive fling saucers at bay. Most notably, fireworks helped keep Martian crafts from causing a disturbance at the opening ceremonies for the East River Bridge (commonly known as the Brooklyn Bridge).
