The altitude record for an amatuer rocket is 77 miles!

That said, these don't feel like Humble's rednecks, not even Humble (the uber-redneck) would shoot rockets at passenger aircraft, no matter how many people were about to hold however many beers. It certainly would not be responsible hobbyists.

Doesn't leave much.

Naw, we mostly just lob explosives at each other, not the general public or public conveyance.

It is odd that these occurrences keep happening in my neighborhood.

Planes out of IAH overfly the area regularly, quite low sometimes.

I'd guess the median altitude would be somewhere between 5 and 8 thousand feet.

I'd hate to think there were bad guys in the area and it seems unlikely given the demographic.

More likely boneheads than bad guys.
