Wandering Fire. United States

12 years ago, I was with my older brother (I was 19 at the time) when we experienced this light, which I continue to think about regularly. We were at the end of a dirt road that is one of the corners of a large cow field around this area (up in Michigan). We were standing outside, just watching with our binoculars, which we did quite regularly. 

I remember a light coming on in the trees opposite the side of the field, maybe 25 or 30 yards away. By this time it was already dark, and my first thought was a flashlight, as this light appeared a few feet from the ground. The size was about the size of a soccer ball, and it was the best I can describe what the color of the flashlight would look like after dark. 

This was my initial thought and only my initial thought, as I moderately shouted "Hello" 2 times before realizing several things at once. There was absolutely no projected light from this solid 360-degree round ball. It was also autumn, and it was impossible to take a step at night without the leaves giving you away. It was quiet, not to mention that the steps he took weren't made by a human. 

I look at my brother when I realize what's going on. There was an unmistakable look of horror on his face, and I remember that it was at that moment that I froze in shock. The light fell directly on us, slowly hovering for what seemed like an eternity to reach us. I mean, this light appeared on us on purpose and took many steps so that we could see clearly. So, this light is finally making its way to a hole in the trees that, I'm kidding, can't be 10 feet (3m) away from our faces! It hovered directly over a burm made where there was a hole of about 5 feet (1.5 m) in the tree line. 

When it reached the opening, it stayed there for about 10-15 good seconds, and then suddenly disappeared without a sound. I mean, not a single sound, not even a cricket, when this light appeared. It was amazing, but I'd like to go back for proof. Until I see it, I won't believe it.
