7/8/63 0.00 bright light in the sky duratin 10- sec. no noise

We were 13 or 14 and walking to my friends house at night .This area was not si built up then as it is now and it was mostly country and farms and my friend lived on a farm . anyway we were walking from my house to his and it was really dark when a light came on over us you could not see anything but the light,I ask my friend what the h--- is that and he said maybe it is a helicopter but there was no noise not even the shhh shhh of blades then it was off and no way to see or tell where it went , I was never going to mention this and my friend has since died but maybe someone else saw someting on or about there because I am sure it was our summer vacation from school but it was so long ago that the exact date and time fails my old memory I am 57 now and i was watching the explorer ch. so i am telling you what I saw a very long time ago
Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.  PD
