Ce ne sono anche altri molto diversi
I'm a military man as well, ARMY (UTARNG SFAS Airborne). I've seen lot's of flares. ALL emit smoke very visible affected by wind drift. None that I have seen have been that bright. Aside from that, it is the feelings that attend these phenomena that articulate their authenticity. I would question those present in the group as to what their innermost feelings were at the time. Moreover, when the object clearly goes into the ocean as a non-luminous object, it tells me it is something other than a flare.
