I would really like to disprove this "flare on balloons" theory. The video evidence isn't nearly clear enough to simply disprove the lights as flares, but from what we've got there are no tell-tale signs visible.

The pendulum motion is noticeable, but as the video footage is a bit shaky in the majority of the films, it's hard to tell exactly how they move.

I'm no expert in the field of air displacement and bouyancy, but I'd have to say it would take more than one balloon to carry a flare to that altitude... helium may be lighter than air, but it's not light enough to carry a flare on one balloon that high.

All I can say is if any Arizonans near the valley find balloons with flare casings attached to them in their backyards... =P

If aliens exist and want to share themselves why don't they just land in the middle of new york or any other big city, why just hover around the sky for an hour then fly away?
