Oval over Tamarack, ID

The report, as filed

9:21pm, overlooking the Payette River Mountain range in Tamarack, Idaho- Saw a VERY bright light in the sky. So bright, it was almost like the sun was reflecting off of a mirror. It had two thin white tails trailing behind it (like asteroids do in photos from their dust trails). It was stationary. Did not move, so I knew it was not an asteroid. Or a plane. Pondered what it could be for a few seconds. Took my cell phone out and started filming. Once I did that, it started to slowly move behind a cloud. If you zoom in on the video you can see it kind of sit behind that cloud for a second. Also, if you zoom in on it (as I did and took some snap shots of the video) you can see that it’s a shiny oval object with no distinct lines. My sighting was captured one hour before a fireball lit up the entire sky, which was witness by many. Coincidence? ...Maybe?
