Maybe someone can tell me what was in tonight's sky . At exactly 7:50pm Feb 6th i saw 4 very bright amber light's in 1 line hoovering over US 60 near power rd . As i jumped in the car and kept my eyes on these low flying object's and kept getting closer they up and disappeared . From a distance i could make out NAV light's flashing but as i got closer they were gone . Now there were other aircraft in the area and it didn't seem to bother who or what ever they were . So does someone want to check this out and shed some light on this . I'm not sure if there were a helicopter class doing night tests or if they were out of gateway doing night mission's .

The lights were military flares dropped on the Barry Goldwater Gunnery Range outside Gila Bend, Ariz. They said the amber flares are used as targets. It was a training exercise out of the Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma, Arizona. Luke Air Force Base had six F-16s that were also out on the range practicing ground attacks while using flares.
