Bright Vertical Light Beams (no visible craft)
Witnessed a bright, vertical beam of light on two occasions in rural areas of Central Illinois. I would estimate both to be around 10 yards wide.
c. 1996 (Mackinaw, IL 60 seconds, from 1/2 mile away.)
2008 Winter (Bloomington, IL 15 seconds, from 1/4 mile away.)
Immediately after the second sighting, I searched the internet and didn't find any close matches.
Recently, I thought about searching again and found what appear to be 2 exact video matches and 1 written match.

Any credible theories out there, either man-made or other?
