3 dark in color objects moving in a loose formation N. As other aircraft flew above, objects seemed much higher and distant.... seemed to be at a altitude that high flying jets take. No sound, or exhaust. Seemed to keep same shape..but angle of objects changed as they began to excel gradually in speed and continue to climb at an angle until fading out of sight. Witnesses are professional middle & late aged. One did not know what to make of it. The other thought it might be "bats". At first I thought so to, however focusing on the objects for about 30 seconds and looking at the skyline and other aircraft in the area, they seem to be much higher than any bat I ever saw. Also, the objects had smooth movement throughout the event. Was hard to focus continuously due to work activities for the duration the objects appeared in the sky. My best guess at this point is military stealth type aircraft, or some type of bird???.
