5 triangle shaped ufo over London

I was with a friend on a roof terrace,in Swiss cottage London NW 2, it was still warm after a sunny day, the visibility was good (for London ).We'd just switched off the outside light to look at the stars. When I saw them,appaering at about 45 degres out of the dark, they went in a N/east S/west direction, as if crossing the upper-atmoshere. I called muy friend thinking for a second it would be a shooting star visible for a second or two. But I quickly realised it was't as brigth and there was 5 of them one ahead of a four formation, the were ligth grey in color(i'm colorblind)sort of triangle shaped. they did't go brigther or darker, they seemed to be very high and very fast, and were moving independantly but never breaking the general formation.We were absolutly silent both thinking we could't be seeing this, but we did't speak for the whole time.They went straigth over our heads we had to twist our necks to follow them. There were no flashing ligths, no apparent source of ligth at the back of the craft(reactor).It was eerie but the adrenaline was rushing throught me. They disapaered at the same angle in a thin cloud going just slightly more south.

We both knew what we saw when we went back in the flat. But we knew no-one would believe us( I think they didn't, even two friends from 10 years). I had just arrived from work and had one drink only. I've only found the web site today, but I'haven't heard any similar report coming from London. Has anyone seen these?? These were not regular planes, or meteorites or spy planes. But it was scary at the beginning when your senses can't recognise what you see.And you analyse things to rationnaly categorise the phenomenon. You can't so you accept what you see.But we did't call at our friends two rooms away, I think because it felt like a privileged moment, meant to happen. I could't care less if no-one believed me, now I know...

It was amazing, awe inspiring.
