Orangy/Amber orbs of light up close

Me and a friend were headed back from Rachel, NV to Alamo, NV, which is about a 40 min drive. We were approximately 20 min into the drive, when I saw an orangeish amber orb of light coming up fairly quick on the car in the rearview mirror. I was thinking in my head of what it could be. There had been no headlights, it was orange or amber colored, and definitely higher than any motorcycle light would be. So having gone through all my logical thoughts, and run out of ideas, I asked my friend to look behind me, and tell me what that was. She stuck her head between the two front seats, and it came right up to the trunk of my car. It was a little less than a foot in size, and was just a glowing translucent ball of light. Not like a bright light glaring at you, and blinding you or making you see halos. And not a reflection type light, but like an orangy amber orb, colored from the inside. A lot brighter than a lit up balloon would be. For lack of a better descripti! on. Also, we were driving about 60mph, maybe more once it was following us, and it was keeping up with and staying the same exact speed as us, and in the same spot for several seconds. Not like something mechanical that would lose and gain speed to keep up, but right there with us, and almost like checking the car out. Then it moved slowly to the drivers side back window, as if checking that out, and then just as i thought it might come right up to my drivers window, it took off super fast into the field. Just as it did that, a car came around the corner. Almost like it knew the car was coming and took off.

This was in an area where there are no side roads for many many miles, and even had side rails at this spot, so no cars could even pull over. Theres no street lights around, and its complete desert mountains all around. My friend saw it close enough to know it was not a drone, and had no mechanical parts. And i seriously doubt anyone would be out there in the middle of nowhere with hardly any traffic just to pull a prank on some car they will never see again. And im not sure of any technology that is just a ball of light, that can still travel around or be directed. Im an empath, and i felt it had intelligence, and was curious. Our windows were decorated with aliens and ufos for the Alienstock event we had just been at, so maybe it was curious about the windows. It didnt seem dangerous, just curious.

The next day we told many people at the event what had happenned. We had several people tell us about an orange light that came out of the sky, just above one of the stages, and kind of curved upwards before taking off at a high speed. That happened around 11:30pm according to the people, which was close to the same time as my experience. So was it connected? And what kind of orb of light can be seen from such a far distance, and up closer at the same level of light, without getting brighter? Ive searched online for similar experiences, and only find the sky orbs, but no close up ones like we saw. So I would love to know if others have had similar sightings.

As for our backgrounds, I'm not sure how much, or what you want included in that. We both have average jobs, and normal lives. My friend is native american, and also a bit empathic. Obviously we are interested in the subject, since we were at Alienstock. We also follow paranormal stuff. This was her first sighting. Im of mixed white nationalities with a bit of american indian also, but mostly welsh and irish. I have had many sightings before. I live at the bottom of the Nevada Triangle, in Fresno county, and there are lots of sightings in my area. Although most of my main sightings were in the 80's and 90's, with only one incident of missing time that I know of. Im in my 40's and shes in her 50's. Any other info you wish for you are welcome to ask.
