SIGHTING: ALEXANDRIA, LOUISIANA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"At approximately 2150 hours on 06112017, i observed a bright (focused beam like sunlight) light which appeared in front of my vehicle while driving. the light was circular and shined down onto the road. the width shining onto the ground was about 15 feet in diameter. i hit my brakes and stopped just before the light. i looked up but could not see anything, and then the light went out. the light lasted approximately 3-4 seconds. no aircraft and no sounds. i continued driving for another half mile and observed two military helicopters on the north side of the airport traveling north away from the airport which is 2 miles away from where the incident took place. i did not experience any feelings other than being intrigued as to what just happened. i did not lose sight of the object. only observed the light appearing from nothing. i am hesitant to report this because i've told two people and they laughed. my background includes a ph.D. and 20+ years in law enforcement."
