The source is a little sketchy, but this is a pretty informative article about these flares. It even has a diagram.

I don't want to bring religion into another thread, but I thought the inclusion of this little tidbit was quite strange.

"I did not know that such 'parachute flares' existed and never considered the possibility," Col. Fields told WND upon learning the reason behind the mysterious lights. "I am grateful, however, that the truth has been determined and those that may have been disturbed by this event will be able to rest."
Fields, a Christian who originally speculated his sighting might have had something to do with End Time prophecies from the Bible, still wants people to remain vigilant.
"Because this event was explained does not change the fact that we live in perilous times – and we must still be awake, alert, and know that a great deception is still coming."

Here's another link.

It's only 2.5 feet long and burns magnesium. If that is visible from 130 miles then, well I don't know what. I can't believe it.
