That's almost what I meant! I actually wanted the flashlight pointing directly at the camera lens.
Nice place, BTW!

In every picture you posted here, the bottom has a very bright blue-white light source radiating from it. Also your pics with this in it seem to all come from a night with rain or inclement weather. Likely a shadow from a VERY strong light source, projecting up and the shadow is hitting off ice crystals and water suspended in the air.
NEAT though. I once saw one of those black beam contrails and no plane or contrail in sight, with a direct beam (not vertical) through the sky toward Nellis AFB. STILL not sure that was a contrail.

But remember, the OP said it can be seen with the eyes.
And THAT'S what makes it all interesting!

Tonight, no rain at all. It is a clear night with the odd cloud here and there. There was not any clouds nearby the beam or over the beam tonight. Stars are out and i was taking photos of the moon when i realized the beam, again. The first night i saw the beam it was raining and miserable, not tonight.
This photo i took while looking at the beam tonight. it is a clear sky

If you look at the marked spot above, there is a tower. It looks like your pics in the OP are from a lower vantage point. My guess is that tower has some lighting below it and it is casting a shadow upwards. If you can verify that the shadow in the OP is in the same spot, you will have your answer. If not, I have no clue.
DITTO!!!!!!!!!

Triangulate its position and VISIT!
And if there's something cool there, post more pics! OR, maybe see if someone on the other side of town you know sees the same thing, or could take a pic.

So, one can only go that far in the day. At night, it's a no no, unless you know the owners of the lands.
