I know what the lights are. They are flares used by the Military on Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range range down by Gila Bend that are huge and they have a parachute on them so the heat from the flare will keep them afloat longer and they do move a little because of the wind. They will last foe hours. I wish the news channels would just come out and say what they were, they know what they are but they keep dragging it along just to keep everyone going so they'll have a story for the 10:00 news. I travel from Phoenix to Yuma quite often and I've seen them pretty close before.
