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.
Seems like there are two observers as well... presumably one filming and one not....you'd think its natural to scan the horizon prior to filming or during the filming by at least one of them.

also seems like the lights are organized symmetrically, ie in a 'formation'... begs the question of what purpose would there even be dropping flares at 25 000 feet...

I think it would exclude flares, but doesn't eliminate light effects of some kind.

if these guys are military, as noted in the report, its stands to reason they have seen flares before.
