Fulminating ball of light, distinct from other ilumination sources defied gravity forces and suddenly flashed up.

I have very good eyesight and so I could see some distinct features of this phenomenon, it was an increasing energy source (bright orange) being expelled from possible cavities within its source, it was distinct from other light sources as it didn't "blink" and it was next in view to light sources that could be compared to such as radar lights, planes crossing by, city lights, chemical reactions, and a possible forest fire.

I don't believe in any of this. But, it defied our known physics laws, thus, I had to report it. I tried to record it with my iPhone Pro 13, but whenever the camera came close to encountering the light source it became blurry no matter what degree of zoom I applied to it, this further strains my reasoning of possible explanations.

The source gravitated for 10-12 m, as we continue our life, but I kept an eye on it (for obvious reasons), then suddenly it flashed upwards with a slight trace of light behind it, and checking it getting blurrier into what I assumed to be the stratosphere and just "Vanished"( its impossible not to leave a trace like that and suddenly disappears??). Either way, the source was definitely hot with a pasty vision blurry to it since details fail to match any man-made known machines or mechanisms.
