Police in Gila Bend, Arizona, received a number of phone calls about four UFOs that could be seen hovering just above the horizon. The four lights, captured on home video (see right), could be seen for several kilometres. But it was not an alien invasion, said NBC11.com. There were no little green men. There were no flying saucers. There was no need to panic, said the FAA. Turned out the amber lights were simply military flares dropped as targets on the Barry Goldwater gunnery range. It was a training exercise out of the Marine Corps air station in Yuma. Authorities also reported Luke air force base had six F-16s that were also out on the range practising ground attacks and they were also using flares.
