I saw a yellow light. It blew a smoke ring as it left the area.

I was in the Dollar Tree parking lot waiting for my kids to come to the vehicle and I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look and saw a smoke ring blow off of the light-yellow orb light. By the time I got my camera up to video, the light had moved away but you can barely see it at the two sec mark traveling away in the video I took. It made no noise whatsoever. You can hear the toddler in the vehicle saying something about fireworks. She thought it was fireworks, she saw it as well. She is only two but she saw it. The light looked large and nearby, smoke ring looked very close not far away in the sky so it was either very big and far away or it was local. It was large when first spotted and moved away quickly after the smoke ring shot out.
