Lightening object

My mother saw, an object with changing intensive colored light in Mardin one of the city of Turkey. It descended a hook and lift a very big snake up. While snake was being lifted, a colored light surrounded it. In Mardin most of the people sleep in open air areas in the hot summer days. Since she frightened, she covers herself and tried to sleep. When my mother told me this event she commented that she had never seen such a big snake in her life.
