round object with bright light and beams shinning down over brooklyn, 6 year old boy spotted it first.

Boys on the block were playing football, and a 6 year old boy said stop everyone look up in the sky what is that, (I was sitting in front of my house on a chair) when I looked up and saw a round bright light with beams shining down on earth.   It looked like something looking down on us.  There were no sounds or noise made and then it started disappearing slowly away leaving a puff of smoke.  
I thought someone or something was coming down on that beam.  I was staring at it waiting for something else to happen but nothing did.  
I've never seen anything like that before.  For a moment there I thought it was the coming of the lord.  It was eery.  
It only lasted for about a minute.  
This happened around 8pm.
