Well, I guess it could if it hit a reflective surface on the plane at the right angle. Did the plane fly in a consistently straight line? Did the light turn with the plane if it did change direction?
Where was the light? Was it next to the plane? In front of it?
How focused was the light? Are you sure it wasn't just the moonlight reflecting off the ground?
