Craft was utterly silent and extremelt slow moving.

My wife and I were travelling from Florida to Alaska. Stopped at this campground along a river just east of Billings Montana. Witnessed the most electrified cloud we had ever seen in the sky just prior. This cloud was small, all by itself, yet was having bolts of lightning flash through it a several a second. Being from the lightning capital of the world in Lakeland Florida, I had never seen like this. As my wife and I are watching this flashing, silent cloud, we saw something else. We saw an extremely slow moving object slowly and silently enter this cloud from our left. It had what looked like a round top with no discernable shape of a bottom. I would best describe it as a silver egg that had it's bottom half broken off. It looked like it was sort of covered in like a light fog around it. It entered the cloud and then was no visible as the cloud drifted away.
