A bunch of space ships is called a fleet. It follows the same principle as naval ships.

It would depend largely on the shape and size of the spaceships.
1. For large spaceships, the following names : a spray; wedges; powers; bunches; a frenzy, or if very many, frenzies; a rash; a stream; vapors; flecks; boils; a jist; jiggles; in-laws; second cousins; a mist, or if very many, a steam; or if very very many, your lordships.
2. For small spaceships: webs; gnats; a blind; a veil; a run; powers (see above); rays; thrills; a lance; a turnup; squats (individual ships = squatters); a senate; sediments, or more accurately, strata; a family (or more commonly, dinner guests).
Some people have referred to a large showing of spaceships as "trouble," the "family," a "church" or a "congregation" or the "faithful," and some have been known to call them, collectively, as the "IRS" but this is meant to disparage spaceships and their inhabitants and should not be used when directly addressing them.

Yea, just say this to the alien who comes in the room- "Hello Doctor, I am fine, I feel like I've recovered from the mental disease you're treating me for."
This is their code for the "bunch of space-ships" thing.
They'll respect you and let you go back to home.

A fleet. As in "Star Fleet". They're going to think you're ignorant anyway.
