Seen headed back north on Torey Pines Road to campus, glowing light/beaming light, at 3:46AM

As I headed back north to UCSD campus, up Torrey Pines Road, I noticed high over a crane from the left side of my windshield, that there was an object in the distance with a crazy bright light. The object appeared to be traveling left to right. However, instead of continuing right, it came to a sudden halt, that I was able to see directly forward of my car. High over a building, the object suddenly vanished. I saw the object leave a bright beam of light directly down from where it was and it dropped directly down at what seemed like the speed of light. The object dropped and left a cylinder shaped beam of bright light in the distance for a split second. I called friends who I had just been hanging out with, who had seen the same thing from different locations. I also have a friend who has friends in Mexico, who claimed to see the same occurrence. This was the most inexplicable and supernatural occurrence I have ever experienced in my life. I know what I saw is what I saw. I need to speak with someone and figure out how we can find some evidence. I have text threads from the exact time of the occurrence (3:46) and called about 10 people right when it happened. I pulled over in utter shock and my body was covered with goosebumps. I have been in goosebumps the entire day and every time I think or talk about what I saw. I am so confident that what I saw was not something man-made. It was something that we can not even explain. As it moved across the sky, it did not have a definite shape but seemed to be bright. It was only one object, and it changed speeds once it came to a stop in the middle of the sky. When the object dropped, it’s speed was far too fast to see the object and all that was left was a bright cylinder beam of light. However, we were able to see the object clearer as it was traveling across the sky, prior to its sudden stop. Please call my number, 7608458143. This must be investigated. I had been having trouble figuring out how to file a report but am glad I have now been able to.
