SIGHTING: AIKEN, SOUTH CAROLINA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"My friend and i were driving near the savannah river site at around midnight on 4/18/15 when we say a laser bright like light come down to the ground. it was tapered upwards and was approx 5,000 feet high if not higher. the edges of the light were very strict and almost like they were painted. there was no bleed of light outside of the beam itself. this lasted approx 2 mins. it scared the crap out of us. the remarkable thing about this whole thing is that neither of us talked about it for over a year. we are still amazed that we somehow erased it from our minds. inside the cone of the light was super bright. at the edges of the cone; everything was pitch black. i would like to add that my friend is a highly decorated retired army pilot with 30 yrs in the army. he had never never seen anything like that in all his travels across the world.It then just left. no light and total darkness."
