Bright light no noise Flair.

My cousin and I was riding on his 4 wheeler around 11 at night and we were riding over a hump at the bottom of the road. In doing this the headlights would shine up in the air, we noticed what appeared to be a helicopter and thought it would be funny to make our headlights shine on the object. We turned around and went over the hump again.
At this point we noticed it was getting closer and we thought it was the cops or something and got scared and got back on the road and took off to get away. I noticed that there was no noise which was odd because if it was a helicopter it was close enough we would've heard it for sure.
We were hauling ass down the road and this thing was right behind us following closely. We got back to the house driveway and to the camper which was parked there and was where we were sleeping that night. The light shot over the hill in front of us, we jumped into the camper and was freaking out.
After a minute or so I went back outside and as I walked to the fence that was near I saw the light fly back over and stopped just over the cattle field in front of me. It appeared to be approximately 40 feet above the ground and all the sudden there was the most brilliant blue ball of light which appeared to just fall from the object and when it hit the ground it look just like a welders spark, it splattered the whole ground in the area of about 20 feet.
As I was mesmerized by this blue light the object seemed to disappear or flew off so fast I didn't see it. It was just gone. I never went and looked at the ground, I went back inside and went to sleep with wonder.
I tried to tell my parents but I was just a kid and no one would believe us. It wasn't the first time my cousin had seen this light.
