Kites & Large Metal Kites...

I've noticed in recent years that the NOTAMS show an increase in the number of sites used for kites and large metal kites. Some of these kites claim to be flying well above 1000' AGL. I'm ashamed to say that I've never seen any of these kites. So my questions are, what's going on, and what is a large metal kite (potentially a daft question/I'm ready for the abuse)?
I've written to the AIS Supervisor with the same questions. I'm just intrigued as to what I should be telling my chaps to watch out for.
