Still no reasonable believable explanation for the lights 11 years ago, but the ones from this week have been pretty well busted. A guy caught his neighbor releasing balloons with flairs attached. He watched them float up to the point that the balloons couldn't be seen, just the flairs.

He was on the news last night talking about it. The neighbor who did it refused to comment and slammed the door.

Lights

I know what the lights are. They are flares used by the Military on Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range range down by Gila Bend that are huge and they have a parachute on them so the heat from the flare will keep them afloat longer and they do move a little because of the wind. They will last foe hours. I wish the news channels would just come out and say what they were, they know what they are but they keep dragging it along just to keep everyone going so they'll have a story for the 10:00 news. I travel from Phoenix to Yuma quite often and I've seen them pretty close before.

Welcome to the Cellar, ghostriderr6.
Are those flares shot from the ground or dropped from planes?
