Sphere over Oakley, ID

The report, as filed

I videotaped it moving up thru the trees and up to the sky. It would flash in my direction.Almost blinding me at times. It took 7minutes to come from the middle of the trees to the sky. I zoomed in repeatedly and even showed the sky and stars in comparison, as it was like nothing else in the sky. It appeared round very very large and bright. When I zoomed in you could see objects spinning around it and glowing rainbow like colors at one point when I zoomed in it went to a rectangle shape that is yellowish. When it was in the trees there was no land near it or past it. It was at least 40 to 60 foot above land in the trees, then slowly moves thru the tree line and then above the trees. It eventually went farther up into the sky and got smaller and smaller as if it was moving further away. There was no one around that area and it was just as the sunrise was happening.
