Me and my two children seen seven spherical ufo,s above us at the park on a clear blue day. The larger of the two were extremely black and we're completely still. Three of the smaller lighter colored craft were in a triangle formation and also still. The two remaining craft we're moving about around the other crafts. After half an hour of watching three of the craft dematerialised, leaving the ufo in formation visible and the darker larger one. Then soon after the other two vanished. It was quite an amazing experience, and I felt a sense of peace while observing. I would relay like to no who was piloting these things. It was breathtaking for us all.
