Big black object that came apart and molded back together.

It was a little lower than a plain would fly, and it looked like a solid black circle. Not like a saucer, which is a flat circle. It was like a ball you would bounce, perfectly round. It was about the size of a big tractor. It didn't go fast at all. It looked to me, like it went a bit faster than a blimp. Then, out of no where, it broke apart, in formation. Like those jets at airshows do. Like it was showing off or something. The things that broke off looked the exact same as it did when it was whole. Except smaller, and there was a lot more. They went a little faster though. Then about a minute later, it molded back together, so it was big again. After that it started going higher and higher, and it eventually disappeared. And the exact same thing happened a year before around the same time of day, in the same month of summer. Except only one was here the first time. And both times it was over my house. We called the local weather center to see if they had scheduled any weather balloons to be set off, and they hadn't. Both times. Also, both times there were absolutely no lights on it that we could see.
