WHILE OUTSIDE ON STATED DATE, WE WERE HAVING QUITE A RAIN STORM WITH DARK, BLACK LOW CLOUD COVER AND NO STARS WERE SHOWING AND NO MOON. I LOOKED UP TO THE WEST OF MY LOCATION AND IN A BLACK CLOUD THERE WAS THIS BRILLIANT WHITE LIGHT STAYING STATIONERY WITH WHAT APPEARED SEVERAL SMALL WHITE LIGHTS DROPPING FROM BENEATH THE LIGHT. THE LIGHT AND/OR OBJECT DID NOT MOVE OR CHANGE LOCATIONS...JUST SAT THERE. I WATCHED THIS FOR 17 MINUTES OR SO AND FINALLY THE LIGHT JUST WENT AWAY/DISAPPEARED. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS STORMING. I FELT VERY UNNERVED AT THE TIME AND WENT INSIDE. THE SKY APPEARED NORMAL 2 HOURS AFTER THIS INCIDENT WITH NO LIGHT...JUST RAIN CLOUDS.
