Well there are several parachute flares deployed by aircraft, however these too would fall somewhat and would be quickly left behind by the aircraft
they were deployed from.
Not that an AWACS deploying such makes sense.

it defintally didnt get left behind, it stayed on them like really bright lights, at first i thought it was on fire but then the light disappeared,
and i doubt they would be dropping flares tho cause it was in a very close together community

The only other thing I can think of, that makes sense within context is some sort of temporary engine flameout. But to have something like that on
both wings, simultaneously, very very remote chance.

Yup, that would do it. Hard to miss a C5A dumping chaff at night!!

That looks like a C-17 to me. Love the pic.

Any chance it was an aerial refueling exercise with fighters and a KC-10? The fighters might be quite hard to see, and the refueling boom lights
might be bright if seen from a particular angle....

Wow there are some Fugly looking beasts out there

Could it have been a smaller jet going to full power? That might account for the red and yellow- afterburners.
