Bright circular light hovering in woods at eye level and then “turns off” without sound

Siting around a campfire, I noticed from the side of my eye what first appears like a flashlight glowing from the dense wooded trees just about eye level from me sitting. It came out of nowhere and just hovered. I yelled to my husband “someone is in the woods” and with out sound or any movement through the woods the light disappeared. It was then I realized it wasn’t a person because one, we would have heard them walking in the very dense trees because there is no path back there and two we would have heard them run off when I shouted.
About 5-7 later as we grabbed a flashlight to see in the woods if someone was there. Loud “wolf like sounds” were heard from the opposite direction and then the sound of pups. As if a birth had just occurred.
