I only ever say them in Aliens. I seem to remember reading somehwere they were made from light weight tubing, the guts of a highway flare, and match head compound, and were a real pain in the butt in terms of making and protecting.

Nope, definantly not pen flares.
These would be about the size of the launcher pen, with strike-anywhere material on one end. Basically a highway flare for lilliputians. As far as I've ever been able to find, they were made by the pyro guy for that movie, becuase I haven't found a single reference to someone making something like them.

Where did they use them in Aliens??? I do not remember that... I could of SWORN that I have seen them used in other movies, but you know how memory can be...

this? Well, I finally found that on the site that the picture was linked form, but I cannot find any size... Hmmm, it is called the Wind Light... If it is small, it could be an interesting addition...

The Orion flare is a part of an Orion survival/signaling kit, I saw them in Cabelas several years ago, but I'm unsure if Orion makes them anymore. The other 5 min. fusee I found in my parents' garage. It has a date of September 1979 on it, and was made by Standard Fusee Co. http://botac.com/orwilprod.htmlhttp://www.orionsignals.com/Wilderness/Products/Fire_Starters.htmlKevin
