Point of light in the sky with Cone of bright light shining from the base.

We observed what initally appeared to be a star very high in the night sky. It was a very clear evening and there were many stars out. This particular spot of light had a very bright cone of light shining from the bottom of it. The light actually looked like it was bathing another star in light. It was bright in the sky for at least a minute. It remained stationary and no other lights were visible on or around it. The light moved straight up, the cone of light dissapeared and the object was gone. At least 3 individuals clearly saw this phenomenon and concur that it was not a helicopter. It was far too high in the sky and was completely stationary with no flashing or blinking lights.
