These were not flares, last night was a lunar eclipse I am sure I was not the only one seeing onto the skies. The 3 disappearing lights were bright white/amber and red-ish. They seem to be appearing at tip of south mountain about 2 miles east from the red light pole-radio antennas on south mountian. They joined & separated at one point. The lights also flashed on and off with continuous elevation/not loosing altitude etc. They lasted about 10-15 minutes. At one point one became super super bright as if it was exploding and diminished into a small dot in the sky. My entire family saw this and we were amazed. Please write back if you have seen the same or know anything about this specific sighting on Sunday night 06/17/2011. Location was South Mountain Phoenix AZ.
