Unknown over Sun Vally, ID

The report, as filed

At approximately 21:38 I looked out window and noticed the stars in sky. That’s when I observed one star was moving. I first assumed it was an airplane. But it suddenly was moving in sharp zigzag motions. It would stop and hover then go up and down slowly. Then up to left up to right then stop again. No plane ever moved in this manner. I asked another person to come look at the stars and they saw exactly what I was seeing. Every time it moved that other person noted what direction they saw it move which matched what I was seeing. We then went outside to continue observing. At 21:41 it was almost due East in sky. Nearly exact location of where the brightest star in the Bootes constellation should be. It just kept moving back and forth then a little short jogs then down slowly then up and to the right. We eventually came back inside and observed last movement approximately at 22:26.
