A silent beam of light surrounded me from above. There was no craft. The base tower lights were off, so no night flying.

I was active duty Air Force. Afraid people would think i was crazy, so i didn’t tell anyone. I had horses at the base stables, and went to feed them after i played basketball that nite. My horses were at other end of pasture. I was walking to get them when i saw a light, completely round, about 15-20 feet in diameter searching the ground…it went back and forth until he had me in the middle…i laughed thinking it was a AF pilot training.. but looked up and could see no plane, no source and there was no sound. It disappeared immediately…didn’t see a beam from any direction. It was only afterwards when i saw the base tower lights were off, and there was no flying that night that it scared me.
I knew then it was same kind of light that had spooked my retired tough Army Veteran in the south Ga woods one night we were fox hunting. Same thing had happened to him.

I still await an explanation.
