Voids in space - energy beam

One night a friend visited my wife but the friend did not exit her vehicle.  My wife spoke with her at the vehicle.  I was present but was not involved with them.  It was a couple hours after sunset so it was dark as we are in a rural area.  Stars were visible.  There was excited talk so I joined them to see what was happening.  My wife said that a hole opened in the southern sky.  I said where? She pointed to a area where constellation Orion was visible directly overhead and to the South.  The said “ a hole opened in the sky and a bright beam came out crossed directly over head and went into a hole across the sky”.  She pointed to about where the star Polaris resides, well above the horizon.  So I said a hole opened a light beam came out and disappeared into another hole.  She said yes.  No other lights were visible except stars at the time.  I’m telling this as I am not convinced of the existence of UAPs nor does she believe.  She does tell only the truth.  I! stake my life on it.  There Was absolutely no sound.
I thought about a logical explanation and settled on a high altitude jet that may have inadvertently flipped on its landing lights by mistake.  I have never had an explanation as to the voids.  The holes as she phrased it.  I’m a amateur astronomer so I know how to observe details in the night sky but this all happened inside of 2 seconds. I did not see it but I do believe her.  Her visitor did not see it as she was inside her vehicle.  I do think it could have been some kind of trans dimensional event. No ship, no little green men.
