Yes, because Occam's Razor says that invisible fighters in formation drop flares at over 25,000 feet. Assume away. It only means one thing.
Flares are bright white. Jets are grey to blend in with the clouds. You know, camouflage.

You’re assuming the camera is close enough to see jets. As I mentioned the lights could be magnified by a small aperture, making them look closer than they are.

Flares are the only thing I’ve seen any evidence for, good or bad as it may be. They might be UAVs flying in formation but I don’t see any proof. I’m open to any facts people want to bring to the discussion.
