Lights n the sky just now

At first I was so excited, as I thought it was beautiful. So, I called outto my 9 year old " come out here, you got to see this!" ... from 4 to a dozen in seconds.... Falling lights, like huge meteorites. Then my daughter wigged out because I couldn't tell her what we were looking at...

so, I called my X's Dad who was military. He said perhaps they were flairs. Did anyone else see this? Do you know what it was?

I traumatized my child. Great Mom!

Ok, please tell me there were just some strange Eglin exercises going on! Strange sight over the Intracoastal waterway just now. Did anyone see something happening?

OK so I'm not such a believer in such things, but at least a few other people are seeing this happening. I'm sure its just military, but whooa way cool to see. Wish I had better pictures or video. Interesting technology that should be very useful to the military.

Yes I saw this! It was crazy and I hope it was just military, but it was strange since they went from one to several within a few seconds. I took pictures, hope they were flares.... but it sounded like breaking of sound barrier and then the lights, and then they were gone.

I didn't see anything, but for the last hour there have been thunderous booms making my doors rattle in SRB. Not unusual for that to happen during the day, but this is a first for this late.

Would you please post your pics? I'd love to see them.

Big Booms Tonight

As a 9-year SRB resident, I've become quite used to the booms during the day...bombing at Eglin. But tonight is the first time I've gotten my doors and windows rattle like this at night. It's been going on since about 7:30. Anyone else hearing this?? (Please say yes....otherwise I'll have to go outside and check the 'hood!)

I'm up in Freeport watching the same lights and rumbling things. It's in the same place that we see other military happenings so I wouldn't worry. I'm pretty sure we would know by now if we were under attach either by aliens or Yankees!
