size:2 hands@arm's length Shape:Light,Spreading fan. This Witness And His 13-Year-Old Son Were Driving W On I-10 Through Pascagoula, Ms. The Area Was Very Dark. Suddenly An Enormous Prismatic Light Beam Shot Up From The Forest Or Swamps O His L (S) About 3 Miles Distant. The Light Was Extremely Intense And Solid, Not Like Ordinary Incandescent Light But Perhaps More Like Laser Light. It Didn'T Fade Or Diffuse. "It Was Absolutely The Most Brilliant Light I'Ve Ever Seen In My Life." The Beam Was Composed Of At Least 4 Colors, And Lasted Only A Few Seconds Then Blinked Out. It Reached From The Ground To Thousands Of Feet Up In The Air, At A 45º Spread Into The Sky. The Area It Came From Was The Middle Of A Remote Wilderness Or Uninhabited Forest, Which Extends For At Least 50 Miles Alongside I-10. "My Recollection Is That The Colors Within The Beam (There Were At Least Three) Seemed To Be Rotating, Or Changing Places. Imagine Being In A Theater And Looking Up At The Projection Beam. You See Movement. It Was Something Like That." This Witness Experienced An Intense Panic Attack Immediately Following The Sighting, And He Increased His Driving Speed To Get Out Of The Area. He Says He Is Not Prone To Such Attacks, And That This Was The Only Time, Before Or Since, He Has Ever Had This Feeling.
