5 or 6 linked orbs descending

I was sitting on the balcony of a 3rd story apartment, watching stars and planes.

I noticed some gentle movement in my peripheral. I had to focus a bit on what I was seeing. Five to six round, equally sized orbs/circles were gently descending. Their movement seemed gradual. They seemed almost transparent at first, and I struggled to trust whether I was seeing anything at all. Perhaps a slight grey outline to each orb. They almost reminded me of a necklace in that they seemed to be unified in the way they were moving. As I saw it, the space between each was less than the size of one orb. And I the space in between seemed to be closing as they descended. The ends of the “necklace” were wiggling the most. The formation passed out of view, blocked by my roof. It felt that they had passed over my three-story apartment. If so, these were small orbs, perhaps less than five feet in diameter. But perhaps my depth perception was off.

It took me perhaps a minute to stand up and move so that I could peer into the direction they went. I had felt fear.

I also want to be upfront that I have been reading a lot about UFOs and feel that I am perhaps in a suggest-able state.
