An unidentified orb-like object was captured on camera by a news helicopter flying over the Hudson River and Lower Manhattan.
In the final moments of a Fox 5 news broadcast on Monday, a spherical object or light is seen moving through the sky towards the news chopper, which was filming from the south of the Battery.
The orb initially appears white in the distance but changes to a blue hue as it approaches the camera.
The object moves swiftly past all boats on the Hudson and curves its way past the news chopper.
It is uncertain whether the orb is a physical object or a reflection on the camera lens or glass surface.
Leading ufologists have raised doubts about the object’s authenticity.
Avi Loeb, a Harvard professor and cosmologist, suggests that the orb is likely an optical artifact caused by sunlight reflecting off the helicopter’s glass in front of the camera.
Tim Gallaudet, a retired Rear Admiral, agrees with Dr. Loeb, stating that the object appears to be an artifact and not a genuine Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP).
A spokesperson for “Good Day New York” suggests that the footage was likely recorded within the past year but cannot confirm the exact date.
Photo experts note that the object’s opaque nature distinguishes it from a standard lens flare, which typically refracts transparent light on camera lenses.
The object’s high speed, estimated at 2,700 miles per hour, raises questions about its origin and nature.
Despite speculation, the exact identity of the object remains unknown.
The sighting draws parallels to other unidentified objects reported worldwide, including recent Pentagon radar footage of a metallic orb in military airspace.
Further investigations and discussions are ongoing to determine the nature of such mysterious aerial phenomena.
