Aviation Week had an article about "compact toroids" they also called "photon torpedos" apparently they're stable and can be used as directed energy weapons.
The device discharges large capacitor banks along a small aluminum tube which creates a stable plasma toroid. Maybe it's gone "black". Aviation Week and Space Technology, November 3, 1997, v. 147, p. 29. Includes photos of the apparatus.

Then a second, from a different location. No lightning. Paths and velocities very projectile-ish, not rockets. But considering the altitude, definitely not signal flares. Unless they were "tracer" artillery shells. Wildly unlikely, but so -they say!- is ball lightning.
