1 dark circular or oval shaped object, and 5+very bright fireball looking objects for 2 1/ 2hrs patrolling above and around my home

At around 9:30pm yesterday for the 4th of July myself, and the rest of my family were out in the front of our house lighting fireworks. I had a camera in my hand to take some family photos. I noticed what appeared to be a dark circular or oval shaped object moving from north to south above my home. This object was not an airplane, did not emit any noise, and seemed to disappear as quickly as it came into sight. This happened just about the time when everyone was beginning their fireworks show. It was still somewhat daylight also. I took as many photos as I could, my hands were so shaky after I saw this thing it was hard to stay stable. I have witnessed objects before that I have never reported out of reluctance or fear to do so. What was different this night is that more came as the night went on. Soon after the first one I noticed, I looked to the south of where I stood and I noticed a bright glowing object slowly moving in my direction. Where I live I have! a ton of trees all around me so trying to photograph these things is difficult. Behind and to the left of the first fireball looking object followed another one and another behind that one. Then from behind the view of the trees one to the right of the first one appeared. This is when I demanded attention from my 20 year old son who always blew me off as crazy, to witness this event with me. I have to admit I was shaken up from this. We continued to observe the objects and tried to take photos and videos. They were moving across from right to left, left to right but I’d lose them because they would dim out or move out of view behind the trees. Next thing I saw is a few of them coming from behind me again from north heading south (ish) Because they’d dim out of view I couldn’t keep track of which one was doing what so I can’t tell you positively that there were any more in number than what I counted as being visible all at once which was 5. There could have been more, or so! me of the five I saw that disappeared in my view could have be! en some of the same that came from behind me again. It seemed as if they were on patrol. Moving over the area during the peak of the firework displays around the area I live in. They were all actively moving about as if floating and in no particular formation. I saw one cross up and over in one direction while another one crossed its path in another direction while another one yet would come from out of nowhere on one of either side of me. I am a 40 yr. old mother of three children, currently attending college to get my AAS as a Paralegal. I’ll be finished in December. I was not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol during this unforgettable experience. But I sure needed a drink by the time I called it quits which was sometime between 11:45 (ish) and Midnight. I have not yet gone through my pics to see if I captured anything good, but I’ll get them to you as soon as I am able to get to them. Right now it’s 1:37am July 5th, and I’m still in shock, and stunned to say the least a! t what I witnessed tonight. My son and I are willing to speak with anyone who’s interested. Also I’ll be very surprised if no one else reports this. Many people would have seen the same objects as my son and I. There’s no possible way they could not have.
