Каура NSW
Australia

A bright blue light blinded a young man driving around midnight as he crossed the top of the hill. The light seemed to illuminate the entire village. The driver suddenly braked, fearing a collision. 

The next thing he remembered was how the light was moving away from his car to a point 100 meters away in a nearby field, where it converged into a beam about 15 meters in diameter and 30 meters in height. The beam fell on the ground, and the grass seemed to burn at the obvious contact. It stayed there for about 2 minutes and then disappeared. No traces of the phenomenon could be found. 

The next day, the driver returned and confirmed the presence of an almost perfect circle of burnt grass with a diameter of about 15 meters.
