Floral Park, NY

Upon entering my backyard after going shopping, my wife and I spotted this object floating low in the sky. To me it looked like a seahorse/drone-ish looking type thing, it was black. It's really hard to describe it. I have pictures and video to back up what we saw. The object first went north then headed east as it slowly climbed into the sky. I followed it using binoculars as it floated off to the east until I couldn't see it anymore. It also appeared to change shapes. At first I considered it to be balloons, but even upon looking at the pictures the object doesn't look like a balloon at all. Made no noise. I'm puzzled.
