floating pretzel shaped object over town, scanning laser

8 year old daughter spotted a light in the sky while waiting for school bus and alerted me. We observed a faintly illuminated object of undeterminable size, floating or hovering overhead and slightly to the south.

We both agreed it was ‘pretzel’ shaped with a single amber light at or near the bottom center. A green laser beam was seen scanning through trees and over buildings in the nearby vicinity. Center of laser arc was definitely the floating object and nothing ground based.

No sound was detected from the object. Object disappeared while I went to find more witnesses and the school bus approached. Skies were clear, winds calm, suburban area at beginning of morning rush hour. Stars visible, full moon had just set.
