SIGHTING: WENDELL, NORTH CAROLINA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"Late one afternoon, I think it was Friday, June 29, 2016, a thunderstorm was brewing so I grabbed my digital camera to take several pictures of the clouds. The second picture I took had streaks of light that shot through my field of vision just as I clicked the shutter. I almost deleted it, but was glad I didn't. It was probably around 6-7 pm EST, on my deck which is facing Southeast and looking at the clouds across the street. I'm always on the lookout for tornado-looking clouds and these looked like that, low, flat, very dark gray, and whitish underneath. These three bright beams of light startled me as they streaked across my eyes as I looked in the camera and was pushing the button down at the same time. They seemed to originate from underneath the clouds, so I don't think they could be from a car on the ground, or a street light, as they were too high up. I've had a few other people look at the photo and they don't know what the streaks are either. Maybe you all can tell me what they are. "
