On a bright sunny afternoon in 2007 on the east coast of Australia I saw in the sky above me what I thought was a white balloon. Then I realized it was approaching high from over the ocean and would stop and then move again. I don’t know how big it was or how high, but I got the impression their was a lot of sky between me and it. Then I noticed there were more ‘white balloons’ with it in a loose formation. As you are aware the brain attempts to reconcile/process from known experience what it is looking at; for me it was firstly a balloon, then possibly a fighter jet in a vertical climb – but none of these made sense, or were realistic. I reported/recorded it online with a local UFO site and described as -bright stars on a sunny day. The UFO site got back to me with a vid link of ‘flotillas’ (which I not aware of previously) and my viewing was (I think) a flotilla. Intrigues me still. Regards
