Ets/ETVs VS Flares

Found this information about the LUU-2 Flare with a burn tim of 5Min..
Now if we can house up ALOT of information about flares and other
terrestrial objects that illuminates, we could have that information
to colaborate with when debunking and talking about ufos and the
sorts:

Air-deployed LUU-2 high-intensity illumination flare are used to illuminate targets. The LUU-2B Flare has a light output rating of 1.8 x 10(6) candlepower and at 1,000 feet altitude illuminates a circle on the ground of 500 meters at 5 lux. The LUU-2 is housed in a pod or canister and is deployed by ejection. The mechanism has a timer on it that deploys the parachute and ignites the flare candle. The flare candle burns magnesium which burns at high temperature emitting an intense bright white light. The consumption of the aluminum cylinder that contains the flare "candle" may add some orange to the light. The LUU-2 flare enhances a pilot's ability to see targets while using Night Vision Goggles

Yep, I have a similar (or even the same) info in my Phoenix Lights thread, as it was important to compare whether or not the video footage lasted longer than the flare's burn time....it didn't, the lights in the video footage (regardless of which one is used, never last for longer than the flare burn time. (and, they disappear in the same sequence as they go behind the silhouette of the mountain....)

It might be good to get a burn time report on a few other kinds of flare. Signal flares and SOS flares might burn longer because they need to be seen at great distance, and give the best chance of rescue or evac dependant on the context they are used in. In either case they would benifit from longer burns, because that would give them the best chance of being seen by either ground or air based lookouts.

Thats the reason for the thread.
