Did I have an acid flashback or this real?

So, I'm laying in bed last night and I hear a noise. I looked at my security cameras and I didn't expect this. There was an inferred beam of light about 2 ft. wide and it was coming from the rooftop of a vacant house across the street, about 50 yards give or take. This beam of light had clearly defined lines on the sides. And it was moving left and then right over and over again. Sometimes it would stop at my car for a few minutes. This was freaking me out. Then it got stranger.

I couldn't stop staring at the light. All of a sudden, the light stopped at my front porch. I shit you not, there was a big fucking cat laying on my porch. I'm not talking about a house cat. I'm talking about a fucking cougar, lion or something around that size. It appeared that the cat could see the light but I could only see it on my security cam as they have night vision. When the light stopped on the cat, he raised his head. Up til that point I thought it was a dog. When he raised it's head, it was clearly some type of big cat. He got up slowing and walked off somewhere. The light was there from about 10 p.m to sunrise. I got not one minute's sleep. I was tripping on this.

I wanted to walk outside for a closer look at the light coming from the rooftop. But I wasn't going out after seeing the big cat. Hours later I did walk outside very cautiously. I could see the light on my camera app but not with the naked eye. It continued to move back and forth but only on my property.

I'm going to pull the video from my camera and post it on here. If I didn't have the video, I'd chalk it up to an acid flashback.

I feel really, really stupid. I started to delete the post but I'll share my embarrassment. The light was a single spider web. It was so close to the camera that it appeard to be 2 ft. wide. And the angle of the camera in relation to the spiderweb, made it appear as if it coming from the rooftop across the street. What made it more believable is that the infrared light penetrated the spiderweb as you could see objects straight through it as if it was a beam of light

And I'm guessing that the light shining through the spiderweb made the cat appear bigger than it was. I was viewing on my phone but I looked at it on my PC and while the cat was huge (for a house cat) it was no mountain lion.

I feel like an idiot. LOL

PS - The wind was moving it from left to right and vice-versa.
