The Parachute Red Rocket MK8 is designed to attract attention at long range, firing a 30,000 candela red signal to a minimum altitude of 300m. Suspended beneath a parachute the signal burns for 40s. The Parachute Red Rocket MK8 is designed for day or night time use, and is intended for use in an emergency afflicting either commercial or leisure vessels.

They could very well be flares fired from the ground. They all suddenly appear at very close to the same altitude then slowly descend. The flashing seems to be an artifact of the poor quality of the video.

Phage,
But they obviously appear and vanish and I didnt know magnesium on fire and such like, with nothing in front of it did that?
Surely if a Flare is lit, it is lit unless they have started using battery operated ones?
I am sure to flares would not be used so close to a road with civilians etc there as the risk of drifting into traffic, and just to let some flares of seems silly unless part of a bigger exercise, which again would not be soo close to the civilians and road.
Kind regards,
Elf.

Not everything has a logical explanation, you know.
