Saturday April 30, 2011. approximately 1-1:30 pm. it was partly cloudy, with the sun shining, and it was windy. My youngest daughter and i were flying her kite on the fairmont soccer fields, it is flat there, no obstructions, and we had it to ourselves.I was looking up at the kite while my daughter was flying it, and then i saw 6 round objects in a "V" formation heading from south to north. At first i thought they were geese and i kept telling myself they were. But as they flew above us they were spherical. they sort of looked like stars. and judging by distance they were probably the size of a fighter jet. i was screaming to my daughter to ask her if she could see them. She couldn't at first."That cloud?" she asked."No, above it!" i answered."What the---!" Just before she said that they dispersed in an erratic pattern. they moved like nothing i had ever seen before. Then, one by one they disappeared into the cloud they were near.i tried to take a photo of it with my phone but it does not take good photos of far away objects.i tried to look to see if there were more of them, but there wasn't that i could see.i felt and still feel uneasy about the entire thing. i felt a little releif when i saw on the internet sightings of the exact same things all over the world. but i don't think will ever look up at the sky for a long time, and i am very nervous about flying in a plane this summer for our family vacation.
