Large cluster of black baloons tehered together at 1500 ft heading SW

Cluster of very large black ballons? At about 1500 ft over the city of Prescott. They were tethered together so that they seperated up to the lengths of their tethers as the wind blew them toward the south west toward Wickenburg. The cluster was the size of a good sized private aircraft. As I vserved them through my binoculars the looked to be several feet in diameter, maybe 5-7 ft, entirely black.

There was no instrumentation dangling from them, as would be from weather baloons. They could be a menace to air travel as they reach higher altitudes and maybe even become larger,
