I couldn’t see the shape of a craft all I could see was a huge beam of light shining straight from the sky to the ground. It was so wide in diameter. The first thing I noticed was the corn field I was driving by was all light up bright white. Then I tried to look up to see where the light was coming from but I couldn’t see because I was inside my car. When I could see it in my rear view mirror it looked like a beam that was not moving. Just straight up into the sky. Much wider beam of light than I’ve ever seen from a helicopter search light. The strangest thing is is was totally vertical and so bright and straight up. Then it just turned off. It was just a cornfield. After the bend on County Rd U it was in a cornfield off to my left. I was traveling E on U after the bend before or right close to Eastside rd.

My fiance and I were looking outside up at the stars and he pointed out an object that looked like an orange fireball moving at a pretty quick speed then seemed to slow down. I took out my phone to record it and then it was out of sight because of the trees in our back yard. My fiance said it looked triangular in shape. It definitely had a little bit of what looked like a light smoke trail behind it.
