Black, shiny, shapeless orb over Boise.

One morning in June of 2004, I was out in the back yard having a cigarette and I happened to look up at the sky. I was admiring how nice of a day it would be, then I noticed something just above the tree line. It looked black and shiny, I saw the sun reflect off of it. Something about the way it was moving seemed odd, it seemed to be going too slow to be a plane.

So I went into the garage and got my binoculars and took a look at it. At first I thought I was looking at a group of balloons that got away. I thought this because through the binoculars I could see that it didn't keep a consistent shape. Then I had to dismiss that idea because when I looked at it without the binoculars I could see that it was going in a straight horizontal line, not rising or falling, and there was hardly any breeze at the time. It was moving from west to east and looked like it was about 300 to 400 feet off the ground.

By my estimation it was out over the Boise airport. I watched it untill I lost it in the background of the mountains east of Boise.
