So what does /k/ think of the Dugway beam sightings from around 2004-05?

Yes, they were caught on film by a bunch of UFO-hunting retards, but they captured an energy beam over a US Army weapons testing facility that gave off enough X-rays to fog their cameras. It's pretty clear that they saw something real being tested, and something way cooler than UFO's imho.
I've also heard from reliable sources that those tests were responsible for a few personnell exposures on the base, stuff like soldiers getting sunburns in the middle of the night.
Supposedly it was a test of a DEW that used a high-energy particle stream instead of photons to create a beam that was much less susceptible to atmospheric distortion and refraction/decay. Honestly, it doesn't seem like that much of a stretch of the imagination considering we had the MIRACL over 30 years ago, and that's just what they were willing to declassify at the time.
So let's talk directed energy weapons, shall we?

Ignore the UFO hunter faggotry and get a load of that beam!

OP again, the big question I have for /k/ is whether they think the beam is coming up from the ground or coming down from, uh, something that's not the ground.
I'm 98% sure that it's the former, but the weeb in me loves the idea that we might have something similar to pic related in reserve, a relic of the cold war that was kept around because it skirted WMD in space treaties, and the mere thought of it makes me tear up in patriotic excitement.
And I'm sure that if we had one, that the people who get to pull the trigger on it must struggle drip precum when they give the orders to fire.

The energy requirements would be enormous, keeping it stationary.

Something in a Molnya orbit so it hovers over a target area while being much closer than GSO might work...
