Typical Flare Sighting Near Rachel

Subject: What did we see on July 2, 1997?

A friend and I drove from Las Vegas to Area 51 on July 2, 1997. We
arrived at Rachel about 9:15 p.m. From 9:15 to 10:00 p.m., seven
different times we saw things in the sky that had orange globes of light
on them. These objects slowly materialized with the orange globes
glowing on and off and then they slowly seemed to dissolve. We saw from
one to four orange globes on these things. I thought it depended on from
what angle we were viewing them as to how many lights were visible (if
looking from the front you would see more lights, if looking from the
side you maybe would only see one). As we were parked very close to
Rachel and could see the town lights, surely you who live there must
have seen these things, too, and have seen them in the past? What are
they? No two sightings were in the same spot. I personally have seen two
UFO's in the past 24 years, and these were different.  I very anxiously
await your reply!

====================================================================

These sound like one of two different flares used on the Nellis AF
Range: ground-launched illumination flares lasting several minutes, or
flares dropped from planes to distract heat-seeking missiles lasting
5-10 seconds. -- GC
