white yellow round ball of light north of ketchum, Id. in Sawtooth National forestOn June 22 at approximately 11pm my wife my two sons and me were camped north of Ketchum, Idaho on Baker creek road, my wife and one of my sons went to bed my other son and I were up watching our camp fire dye down and looking at the stars, when I hear my son say wow dad look at that light its moving, I turned to look and I saw a very bright light rising up climbing very fast in the sky behind the mountain behind directly behind our camp sight, it seemed to be a round white light, it seemed to climb rite out of the mountain top at a very high rate of speed then it stopped wiggled slightly side to side a few seconds gone by and it climbed again very fast then it stopped sat in the sky for a few seconds then it flew directly over our camp heading south toward Ketchum as it flew over it would wiggle from side to side slow down and accelerate we watched it until it were out of our sight, the whole sighting did last for roughly two minute. I did talk to someone! on the phone at the reporting head Quarters, the man on the phone ask me its size relative to a star and I misunderstood the question, he ask what were its size compared to a star, I did say smaller , now that I understand what he were asking, the answer is much larger, they’re were stars visible behind the object they were much farther away, this were one of the closest sighting I have ever had and most unexpected. This object made no sound and were low enough in the sky to have heard if it were any type of conventional air craft, my sons and I view the skies often and have for many years and have become reasonably good at knowing in day and night what is conventional and what is not, and this were definitely something different. The object we sighted came from the north slightly west then flew south slightly east flying over the north end of Ketchum and the Sunvalley.
