UFO With Bright White Light That Shot Down A Cylindrical Beam Of Light Shot From My Porch When I Got Home

I had just gotten home from picking up my niece and was by myself on my porch. The first video was timestamped at 7:23 PM on Feb 14, 2024. I was on porch and I always look up because there is cool stuff up there and you never know what you might see. I looked up and saw this bright light with a hazy glow around it slowly moving eastward. We have lots of planes and satellites that go over the house and this object moved much slower than any of those do. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and started recording the object for just over 30 seconds and put my phone back in my pocket and just stared at that this cool thing in the sky. when I looked up after putting my phone away, I noticed there was a small star like object following this object pretty closely. All of a sudden these now two objects stopped and emitted this super bright light from what I guess would be the bottom of the craft. It was not an ordinary light, the light emitted turned into an almost perfect cylindrical cone emitting towards the ground but didn't quite reach the ground. The second little light seemed to have merged with this bigger light at that point. Additionally, when I first saw the second little light, I pulled my phone back out and just missed by seconds, recording the full almost perfect cylindrical cone. I was able to record about a minute and a half of this object until the lights dimmed to star like brightness. The two lights seemed to e one solid object at that point and looked almost like a black triangle and the lights just dimmed out of existence as they disappeared and could not see them any longer.
-Object had a bright white light with a hazy glow around it. The brightness was brighter than the brightest star or planet in the sky which is usually Venus.
-The original light didn't have any direction, it seemed to encompass the object until it stopped and produced the cone which pointed downward towards the ground.
-The object didn't appear to wobble and looked pretty steady but slow, moving eastward.
-Had a second, smaller star like object following really closely.
-The weather conditions were fine, cold but the sky was cloudless with stars being very clear and visible.
-Not anything I will ever forget
