Duration: Approximately 3 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Meridian, ID, USA
Location details: Near the intersection of Eagle and Victory Roads

Shape: Cylinder
Characteristics: Lights on object

I saw a shimmering object stationary in the sky at a fairly low altitude. Way too large to be a drone. And the light was very brilliant

I was awake at approximately 3:13am (I looked at the clock) and entered the darkened dressing area of my primary bedroom. Light was coming through the muted privacy window over my bath tub. It was so bright that I thought it must be a full moon because a full moon in a clear sky will shed light into that window. I looked outside through the blinds in my bathroom - which is part of the dressing area - and saw a bright, shimmering object sitting just above the tree line of my neighbors very high pine trees. I believe the object was much higher than the tree tops, yet from my vantage point, it was just above their trees. I looked away to be sure I was seeing something and looked back outside, and I was then certain I was seeing a bright object with a shimmering light; not a flat light. I studied it for a moment and observed that it was a oval/cylinder shaped object, and the surface appeared to have square shapes on it. The light was quite brilliant. I looked away and looked back at the object a few times...and it was still there. At 3am, I didn't want to go outside by myself and attempt to photograph this object. And I figured I could not be the only person who saw it. Even at 3:15am or so, I thought there must be a few people on the road that would see it. This location is right off a busy road; Eagle Road in Meridian, Idaho. I concluded I'd read about it in the news or on the "Nextdoor" neighborhood app. No one has reported a sighting. I looked at the moon this morning at 6:30am; not a full moon. A half moon. I know what I saw. Very, very odd. I've never seen anything like it. Address below is post office address not home address where sighting took place. Phone number is an old land line, as I don't want my cell number published. If needed, I can be reached via email and will then give my phone number.
