Trail Cam Captures Strange Beams of Light Over Texas Ranch

• When: July 22nd, 2016
• Where: Cranfills Gap
• What: Beam of light shining down over ranch, recorded by trail cam

A ranch owner with a trail cam was viewing the footage later when they noticed something odd. It appears that a craft or helicopter of some kind may have shined a bright beam of light down onto the ranch for a long period of time:

At my ranch in near Meridian, rural central Texas, I have several ( 8 total) trail cams set out at my various deer feeders. I periodically retrieve the SD cards and check the pics.
While checking all my cam pics last weekend, I saw that on one of my Cams, on July 22 from 4-6 am, among all the other pics taken on it, took 4 nighttime infrared pics of a feeder with a concentrated, very focused beam of light shining down from somewhere above and off to the side of the feeder, shining at the ground at a slight angle. The first 3 pics have the beam shining at deer, the last pic shows the beam of light but has no animals in it. The beam of light even shows to have lens flares.
Unless there is a defect in the camera on these 4 pics, which I hope someone can show me, I otherwise cannot explain.
Last year I had a similar set of pics. Only these had some hexagonal shimmering lighted shape appear at the top of the frame with a less focused beam of light shining down on a feeder. Again, about 3-4 am.
Only w helicopter could hover and shine a spotlight down onto my place. But none have been sighted and there is no reason for one being at my place.
I am willing to have my cameras checked.

Perhaps ET abducted some deer? Or perhaps this is just a trick of light. If a man-made craft was observing the area with light, what would be the motive?

If you've seen anything strange in the Cranfills Gap area? Report your sighting!
