A Beam of Light at the Light of Peace, 1969

Some may dismiss it as a flaw in the film, but this Ektachrome slide, which is dated October 1969, reveals a mysterious beam of light descending to the ground next to the Eternal Light Peace Memorial in Gettysburg, Pa. It could be, I suppose, a divine light shining from above or simply a tractor beam emanating from a hovering spaceship.

For a less perplexing and more recent view of the monument, see Eternal Light Peace Memorial, Gettysburg Battlefield, 2014. For another inexplicable light beam captured on film, see A Light from Above.
