Some buddies and I were chilling in the mountains and ending up looking at the sky. We saw a solid beam of light in the sky. It seemed to be rotating from left to right. It slowly came from behind the trees and moved to the right in the sky. After that for about 45 seconds and is absolutely freaking out it suddenly went away from us very quickly until we couldn’t see it anymore. It was large and moving very fast. It emitted a lot of light. There were also planes in the sky when it was seen and this was probably 20x the size. The pictures that we were able to take don’t nearly do justice to what we actually saw.
