By the way, does it help that I live here, know by the photos about were they flares would have come down and that it is a known military training area?
If it is so common , why all the drama?
Not really. Because I haven't read any evidence that you've seriously and extensively researched the whole thing from the beginning of the evening until the last reported incident.
There's no real argument about the flares occurring at a given point in the evening over or near over training area(s) etc.
