The record

While driving westbound on I-10 through the swamps of Pascagoula around midnight, the witness and his father observed streams of light shoot out from the other side of the road. The lights were described as extremely powerful, with colors of purple, blue, and red. The lights changed color as they circled rapidly, then disappeared as quickly as they had appeared.

streams of light shot out from the other side of the road. These had to be some of the most amazing lights I'd ever seen in my lifetime. They were so powerful you literally couldn't see the end of them. The colors as I recall were purple, blue, and red.
