Small sphere in NYC
I forgot about this until a few weeks ago when I saw a ufo-best evidence movie.
I was walking north on 8th avenue in Manhattan. It was about 44th st. I was walking on the west side of the street.
I was walking past a Japanese restaurant. I saw two people standing outside, smoking a cigarette (I assume they worked at the restaurant, but didn’t ask), and looking up.
What I saw (and this is from memory so it isn’t great) is a dark grey/black ball, about the size of a basketball. It was hovering over the building across the street. The building was about 5-6 stories tall, so my guess is that the object was 70-80 feet above the street. My first thought was that it was a black plastic bag that had been blown up by wind currents up the side of the building. But I didn’t see any of the loop type handles or an opening.
My second thought was that it was a balloon. I’m still not sure that it wasn’t that, but either a bag or a balloon would normally move in a thrusting jerky type motion, depending on the wind currents. This didn’t. At some point after it was hovering, it moved at a slow, but steady pace across/over the street. It took maybe a minute for it to go over say 4-5 lanes of traffic.
After that, I lost sight of it as it drifted above the building I was standing in front of.
At the time it didn’t seem like a typical UFO because I would think of those as more of a craft. This didn’t seem like a craft at all because of its small size, but its smooth motion didn’t seem like a balloon or bag either.
I now carry a small camcorder with me in case I see something again.
