I just watched the phoenix UFO story. I have worked as a munitions specialist in the USAF for over 30 years. The UFO sighting is 100% actually LUU-2 illumination flares. Here's why:
. . . Oh yeah, the other reason I know, I was there.

Sorry 30 years Air Force I was there as well and there were definitely two different occurrences. Given the chance of 1 out of 100 it is possible that the one occurrence could have been flares but not the second occurrence. I have 21 years of service in the US Army and I have seen flares as well especially the ones referred to on the A 10's. So please don't insult the individuals that also have qualifications and they dispute your answer. Take a hint from the Gentleman that writes the craft seen was at a"LOW ALTITUDE " . While we're on the subject anyway , explain the fact regarding the " V " formation. You should admit whether you want to or not that flares do not hang from a parachute in perfect " V " formation. On the other hand maybe it was just a bunch of shiny weather balloon's.

MAYBE IT WAS TO DIVERT ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE MASSIVE CRAFT THAT FLEW OVER THE VALLEY AN HOUR BEFORE THE FLARES WERE DROPPED!!!!

Maybe it wasn't there at all. Or maybe it was a stealth bomber or Aurora if it actually exists.

I am of the opinion that the "flare drop" was of a diversionary tactic, and quite frankly an effective one, as the debate goes on to this day.
This however, does not negate, nor explain the huge V-Shaped craft witnessed by thousands earlier in the evening, and or day.
Cheers,

distract and intimidate the enemy during war
The earlier "visit" is the real mystery in this one. It sure as hell must have put the wind up the military for them to come up with such an "interesting" diversion - kudos to them for devising it so quickly - unless they knew it was coming
