Spooky light?

Last night some of the members of 11th Georgia Infantry spotted this strange light in the middle of the road. Luckily one of them had their camera phone and snapped this image.

At first they thought it was another unit with a torch, but they claim it was a beam of fast moving light that didn't 'waver about' like a flame would...instead it stayed the same brightness and stayed at the same distance away from the men.

We're having some people look at this as a possible Union weapon we aren't aware of.
