28 years ago I was driving down the road at night. My father was in the passenger seat. A ball of light about the size of a soccer ball that was orange / yellow flew out of the sky in front of my car. The ball matched the exact speed and direction of the car and maintained a distance of 10 feet or so in front of the windshield. It stayed with the car for about a quarter of a mile and the flew off into the sky at an amazing speed. My father and I had no idea what this was then and still don't have a clue. I have considered ball lighting but this thing moved with the car like it had a purpose. I mean this thing made course corrections when the car changed speed or when around a curve. The ball was not overly bright either.
Any ideas?
Ball lightning.
Your description is extremely similar to many accounts.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
