Full Report Text:
Beam of Darkness from Nose of Jet This happened in the late 1980's. It was late spring or early summer. The sky was somewhat overcast yet still bright.
My then-boyfriend and I were traveling to Big Bend, TX for a camping trip. We were on the road from El Paso, and we were just outside of Valentine, TX when this happened. He was at the wheel and I noticed a jet flying in the distance above, moving left to right as we looked through the front windshield.
The jet was black. It was close enough to see that it was a jet, but not so close that we could see any logos or other colors that may have been on it. A beam of darkness shone out from the front end of the jet.
The beam was perfectly straight; it looked like it was coming out of the very tip of the nose of the jet. It was just like a beam from a flashlight except that it was a beam of darkness. My boyfriend saw it too and we talked about it for several minutes while it was in view.
We wondered if a "flashdark" had been invented that would project darkness into a lighted space in the same way that flashlights project light into darkness. When I saw your March report from the family in IL that saw the same thing, I decided to make this report. It was such an odd thing that I've never forgotten it.
I was surprised that the IL family's report sounded exactly like what my boyfriend and I saw. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).
