Duration: ~1 minute
No of observers: 1

Location: Boise, ID, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Dancing disc zig-zags through the sky.

I was sitting in my backyard stargazing like I normally do. UFO sightings, extraterrestrials, so forth, isn't the kind of stuff I generally occupy my time or mind with. When I stargaze I expect maybe to see a couple shooting stars.

Well this time what I can only describe as a disc with three sets of triple lights in triangle arrangement flew overhead in zig-zag pattern. The changes in direction were quite sharp without any apparent slowdown or difficulty.

I watched surprised but calmly as it did this a few times. It was moving exceptionally quick, and it was high enough in the sky to be clear above any buildings, several hundred feet I would estimate, but it looked lower than most planes.

Anyway it did this dance for a few more zigs and zags before abruptly halting its forward direction and traveling straight upwards out of view.

Very odd. I doubt I'll ever know exactly what it was but one thing is for certain, the universe is a big place!
