Full Description & Details

OK...remember I was a younger guy and my friend and I decided to go out and look for wild marijuana plants one late night.I grew up in a northern Indiana area where marijuana grew wild from its earlier WW2 plantings to make rope for the war effort. We had another friend drive us out and wait for us in the car. We parked on a road that dead ended at the side of a plowed field. My friend (I'll call Ed) had found "pot" there the year before so he was hoping the first snowfall hadn't destroyed it.(It wasn't unusual to find marijuana buds "quick frozen to the plant stems" before strong winds arrived. Anyway, we walked across this large potato field that was plowed up and frozen with a crusty first snow cover on it. There was a slight breeze but wasn't that cold yet.We got to an area where there was a small hill in the middle of the field and we turned on our flashlights and began looking for plants.After about 20 minutes of looking, we gave up because it was starting to feel colder and our hands were getting numb. We agreed to run back to the car....and agter only a few steps ,we both ran into something. Scared the heck out of us and we turned our flashlights back on. Standing right in front of us were two small fawns!! They looked at us and then turned away to stare back from where we came. They acted docile. Then as we lookedback the deer ran off across the crusty snow. We were stunned! There ,only about 50 feet from us,on the hillside, was a bright ,straight light beam shining down and illuminating weeds and grasses ahead. I looked up and said,"Ed, what do you see?" He answered with fear, " I see a bright beam of light coming down from the sky!" I I didn't see any source!! It was just a straight beam of light that looked about 80 foot high and just stopped up there. No source! It illuminated the ground in a perfect circle . The beam was perfectly column -like.Fear hit us and we ran back to the car and didn't look back.We got to our friend and told him and he said he thought he saw some weird lights but didn't ever elaborate. At the time we didn't speak of it for years. I saw "Ed" a few times afterward and we wuld always mention that night when a light beam came out of the night skyand spooked us and 2 little fawns. All of this happened just as I've told and if no one believes me..that's fine ..because I and Ed believe.There is something in our skies.

It is my belief that something is in our skies but unexplainable at this time. It may be extra terrestrials but I feel it may have to do with a parallel universe or dimension that opens up for whatever reason and we get a glimpse of things in it. That would explain no radar returns on scopes. It would be similar to a halogram. That's just my view though.
