Beams of light at approx 200 ft

On May 15, 2018, at 10:30 pm I was driving from Bemidji, MN, to Grand Rapids, MN, on Hwy 2. There were scattered clouds with mostly clear skies. The stars were beautiful that night. As I was driving I saw what I thought was a falling star than I saw a second. These were not falling stars as they were too low on the sky. My estimate would be only a few hundred feet at most. They were not heat lightening as their quality was of a search light beam.

I slowed the car down to look for a source but saw nothing attached to the lights. I drove home wondering what they could have been.

The next day I was telling my sister what I saw and she said she saw them too. I was driving through heavy forested land with no towns near by & my sister saw them 50 miles away so they weren't flood lights from a car dealership either. I wonder if anyone else saw them.
