Time: Just after midnight
Summary: My cousin and I had just left a friends house on the main strip of Meldrum Bay (Water Street) and were heading back towards my grandparents cottage. The street we were on passed directly beside the waters edge of the bay and had no street lights. It was very dark and as we were walking I noticed a strange light shining just above the treeline on the opposite side of the bay. The object was rather large and was too close to the treeline to be a star. It was a white light and made no noise whatsoever. The light also cast a beam that stretched across the entire bay. The beam was even in width for its entirety (it was about 20cm wide) and was so bright that you couldn’t see the water underneath it. It looked as though you could walk across it. What was also strange was that there was no light cast on the trees underneath of the object nor on the land. The beam started right at the waters edge on the opposite side and ended at the water’s edge where my cousin and I were observing it from. Once we had moved closer to examine it, the light started to move to the right very slowly. Neither of us have any auditory memory after that point and neither of us have any idea as to how long we watched it for. It was like we lost all conception of time. After watching it for however long it was, the light simply went out and disappeared along with the beam. My cousin and I then ran home and pulled out some lawn chairs to watch the night sky as we were both very scared yet also very curious. Eventually, we spotted a red light moving across the sky at a faster than normal pace. It then proceeded to shoot straight up, continue horizontally and then shoot up once more on a very steep angle. It then passed out of sight. Over the past few years the event has really started to bother me so I’ve decided to start to search for people who have had similar experiences. I hope this helps in some way and if not, best of luck with your endeavors.
