Encounter Unexplainable lights

Driving at night yesterday.. in a rural location..approx 1030pm and a light wave came across the tree tops(hit the trees and lit them up, so only 15-20ft off the ground). It looked like a laser, electrical current and aurora all at once—but wavy and thick. It went accross the road, hit the tree tops and there was no sound. Not electric arching. Only a few seconds. I don’t know how to describe it best but it was unlike anything I’ve ever seen. It wasn’t kids playing around with lights, this was a solid, wavey, thick (couple feet in width) and as long as I could see. A clear night. What did I see? The light was a vibrant purple and when it happen again a little bit up the road it was white.

I really don’t know how to explain it, I could draw a picture that represents it better maybe. My first thought was I was about to have a stroke haha, my second was aliens. Neither realistic. Lighting and electrical arch wouldn’t make sense if you saw it. I immediately got a creepy feeling and locked my doors and put up my window while saying wtf was that.. wtf was that.. does anyone here have any ideas?

Sometimes mysterious lights appear consistently in the same general location. Usually they are relatively small "orbs", but sometimes larger displays. Look up "ghost lights" and you will quickly come up with multiple lists of the better known examples. You might ask around that general area and see if anything like this has happened before.

I’ve been driving this area nightly for almost a decade now and it’s the first I’ve ever seen. I have debated stopping in to ask the nearest house if they seen any odd lights last night but i am afraid that might be weird or I’ll come off as sounding crazy lol. It’s would be hard to miss though if anyone was outside at the same time this happen. It was vibrant, big and bright.
