UFO Sighting in Aptos, California on 2018-08-02 03:20:00 – White blinking object emitting brilliant white beam, high in sky, early morning

The following exert is an eye witness statement. Please read into it what you will. This has been reported to mufon who I am sure are investigating:

Husband went in backyard from our bedroom about 3:30 am to cool off, saw object and watched, suddenly exclaimed “what is that?” he then said “honey, come out here and look at this”. i didn’t want to get out of bed, but he insisted that i come and look at “a weird thing in the sky”. i put on my robe and went outside and he pointed in the sky at what appeared to be a white light blinking every 3 seconds and moving very slowly south but at a very high altitude, like a jet. suddenly the object projected a short beam of extremely bright light, which shocked me because i’d never seen such a brilliant light from such a distant and small object. we watched it as it continued moving south, blinking white in a more or less regular 3 second pattern and randomly shooting the ultra-brilliant white beam, like a laser, in a north and easterly direction. we watched it do this until it disappeared behind a high cloud. never seen such a bright light in the night sky at such a distance nor an object that shot a beam of light.
