Flying Suacer(?) seen in August inTacoma/Puyallup neighborhood

My daughter (12 years young) was watching the skies for no apparent reason and quickly noticed a strange craft. She hollared over to me and her best friend (11 years young) to look at something weird. We took the few steps down the back porch to get the view she had. She was aprox. Instantly we noticed the strange craft. It was a charcoal colored disk with a center that was shining. The color of the light was a whiteish/blue and simliar to the color of electricity. This craft was...guesstimating here....about the size of a larger helicopter. It seemed to fly at a slow speed. I would compare it to a car going 30 mph. I have no idea as to how high up it was. Again, I'll compare it to something familiar. We often have medivacs cruise thru here everyday or so. They seem to be heading to Seattle or out to the VA hospital area (Fort Lewis). Well, I'd say that this craft flew a little higher than theses helicopters. It made no sound and was in no hurry. I checked the wind direction to decide if it was being blown but it was not the wind doing this. It was moving in a straight direction towards Puyallup Valley area which is aprox 5 miles from my Eastside neighborhood. I feel foolish now for mocking all of those silly spaceship/UFO shows from the 50's/60's. It didn't look like a man made object. The way it moved was unlike anything I've seen. And the shiney light, (probably blinding if you were 500 feet or so closer), seemed to be an energy source. Perhaps the sun? It also seemed to be reflecting the sun and maybe that reflection is maybe why it seemed so shiney and the color of lightning. To my shock, this darned thing was a flying saucer. No way!
