Not any flare I've seen dropped from an aircraft or shot from a mortar. I've seen both firsthand. The light wasn't falling, which is what a flare
does--it's purpose is to illuminate the ground in the case of a mortar round, scramble lock on from another aircraft from a plane, or in the case of
an A-10 Warthog, highlight a target for firing. That's not what flares from F-16s look like from my experience with them, and they clearly do not form
a half circle for target verification in the case of the A-10. I fired a ton of Illum mortar rounds in the military, from all systems--60, 81, and
120. That is not a military flare for illumination or marking.
As far as a UFO, I have no idea, there is not enough evidence to determine that.
