It was approximately 7:20 MST in south of Meridian, ID. I was taking my dog outside per usual before bedtime, and very clear night, I saw in the distance...hard to gage the distance but several miles away...all of the sudden I saw a perfectly round very bright glowing object in the sky with what looked like silver laser beam coming from the object perfectly straight up. The object had no sound, no flashing lights. It hovered there for approximately 30 seconds then slowly moved in the sky to the west, hovered there again for several seconds, then slowly moved east to it's original position and then just vanished before my eyes. I've never seen anything like this before. Unfortunately, I did not have phone with to capture the image.
