50 cm and the thickness 2-3 cm.

When the observer had approached the light spot to a distance of some 2 m away, some kind of light pillar ca. 3 m high, could be seen. Where the light was coming from is unknown, because nothing particular could be seen above the light pillar. The light simply ended at a height of 3 m. It seemed to come down in bandlike wedges. The light on the ground was so dense or so bright that the ground couldn’t be seen behind it. On the other hand, the trees behind the light pillar could be observed. Even if the light on the ground was bright, it was not dazzling, however.

The branches of a nearby spruce were very close, but not inside the light pillar. The branches of the trees or the heather close to the light spot on the ground were not lit up.

When the light grabbed the hands of the observer, it didn't illuminate the arms at all. The light was only on the bare skin. The shoes of weren't uplit either, despite being just beside of the light spot. He did not get any aftermath; like eczema, illness or else. The light spot was stationary during the entire time of observation. The time totalled 1-2 minutes.

During the observation the weather was cloudy, very dark and completely without winds. No thunder could be detected; the temperature was about 10 °C.

What caused this phenomenon is still unexplained. It can hardly be an electric phenomenon caused by some manmade electric device, because there is no electricity or power lines in the vicinity. No reflecting objects of any kind were visible, either.
