Circle of intensely bright red lights that initially spewed out falling lights and hovered for a long time before receding slowing up.

We were walking in the Hyde Park area of Boise, I saw the intensely bright red light first and called attention to the others we were walking with. It was almost over-head, but quite high up, then seemed to move very slowly if at all. It would pulse, not pulse, pulse a different rhythm, not pulse. There were four of us, and on a side street we found three more people watching with binoculars. I looked through the binoculars and could see the circle was made up of a circle of lights. They'd been watching longer, and said initially it was closer, and sparks were coming off and falling down (though it was still very high up). The light was intense red, but seemed to be going higher up instead of moving on a northward path as we thought it was at first. We joked about perhaps being the only sober people in the area as most people were glued to sports bars watching BSU football. One of the people called her fiance and asked him to go outside his house, an! d he saw the same thing, though I do not know where he was viewing this from. We watched this for over a half hour, and eventually walked back to our friends house, and them drove home to our house. We live at the base of a mesa in foothills and the line of sight was not very clear.

This was unlike anything any of us had seen. I took a picture with my phone, but it looks like a red dot in the middle of a black field. I do not have the proper cord to download it to my computer, nor do I suscribe to any picture services to send via my phone contract. Any suggestions? I am fine with talking to someone, but make it day-time to return my call, please.
