I saw a single beam going up into the sky too, a few weeks ago.

My husband and I were coming home on Highway 4 from Los Alamos, and
looking west into the sunset, there was one golden pillar of light
going straight up and way up into the dark sky.  It had been snowing or
freezing for weeks and there was no light in the sky except this one
pillar of fire.  We have seen many beautiful sunsets, but none like
this in our lifetime.

I assume it was a natural phenomenon, but it seemed like a message from
God to follow His pillar of fire.

I noted the story on the light beams going straight up, and I had seen
one too.
