How bright does a flare have to be to be visible from 130 miles away? Pretty damn bright. I don't know the first thing about flares, but I have a hard time believing such a thing is even possible. How big would it have to be? And if it's not a question of big, what material burns that brightly?

I would like to know if our government possesses this capability. If they do, we should get a look at it. They could drop a line of them near Leduc and we could watch the show live from here in Calgary.
