Brillant bright lights from the sky

I saw brilliant beams of light that illuminated the sky above & shot large circles of light on the ground below me. I was 31 yrs of age then; I know the date because the event was so unexplainable to me that I wrote it all down in a notebook & have looked back at it several times over the years. It all started about midnite with a hit & run elsewhere that turned into a high-speed chase that ended across the street to the east, in Mr. K's backfield. My husband & I jumped out of bed to witness the truck crashing through the fence & numerous Denver & Englewood Police officers surrounding the truck as it came to a stop. Our bedroom is upstairs with a window facing to the South, we have a corner lot, and so we do see a lot that's going on most of the time. My husband was tired & after a few minutes of the usual police activity, we both went back to bed. He was out in a flash, which is normal; I on the other hand just was lying there with my eyes shut thinking about the goings on.  Then an extremely bright flash of light lit the entire room, so much so I don't know how to explain this. Close your eyes & you see black, right, imagine that you see the whitest white. It causes me to sit right up in bed & look around real quick. I went back to the window & yes, police & everyone is still in the field. A tow truck is now waiting for his tow at the corner. Then the brilliant flashes of light begin. It lights up the so brightly, so fully more so than lightening but large circles of light beam to the ground, with such speed. It happened at least seven times in succession. Beams of light touched in the field behind the truck, on the south side of our garage, onto the garden, on the north side of the garage, onto the home to the north of us, then onto me and finally onto Mr K. & the tow driver walking back to the tow truck. No one below me acknowledges the light, no one look around or up. I ran to the window on the south side of the house, no lights. I ran back to the north window, no more lights, no helicopter noise,! no plan e noise. No lightening in the sky that day or night. I don't know what the lights were or where they came from, even was so shocked I even did the pinch test. I was awake I did see it. I decided after a few more minutes to lie back down, as I did I looked up at the alarm clock, it was 2 something in the morning. I lay there wondering where an hour & half of time went; everything that happened wasn't more than 30 to 45 minutes of actual time. I may never know, but I do know that it happened, it was not a dream. I saw what I saw.
