A mysterious orb-like object was captured on camera by a news helicopter flying over the Hudson River near Lower Manhattan, causing speculation and interest from viewers and experts alike. The object appeared to be moving at a fast speed and changed color as it approached the camera. There were doubts from ufologists about the orb’s real-world potential, suggesting it could be an optical artifact or a drone moving quickly due to camera movements.
Experts such as Avi Loeb and Tim Gallaudet dismissed the object as an artifact and not a genuine unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP). They believed it was likely due to the reflection of sunlight off the helicopter’s glass or a drone moving at high speed. Despite some at the news station believing the object was a physical drone, experts noted characteristics that signaled it was not a standard lens flare, as it appeared opaque and distinct from typical light refractions seen on camera lenses.
The orb-like object was observed making arcing pathways over the Hudson River and passing by Lower Manhattan, leading to estimates of its speed being around 2,700 miles per hour. This extraordinary speed was compared to that of an F18 fighter jet, raising questions about the nature and origin of the object. The footage was analyzed and confirmed to not have been digitally tampered with by the news station’s editors, adding to the mystery surrounding the orb captured on camera.
The incident was brought to the attention of viewers and news anchors who were puzzled by the appearance of the orb in the sky. Dan Bowens, a newsman on “Good Day New York,” noticed the object during a news segment and shared his observations on Instagram, questioning if it was a balloon or another unidentified airborne object. The object drew comparisons to other reported UAP sightings around the world, including radar footage of metallic orbs released by the Pentagon in the past year.
The speculation and interest in the orb-like object captured over the Hudson River point to ongoing curiosity and research into unidentified aerial phenomena. Despite some experts debunking the object as an artifact or drone, the speed and characteristics of the orb raise questions about its origin and nature. The incident adds to a series of reported sightings of unexplained objects in the sky, contributing to a broader conversation on the topic among UFO enthusiasts, researchers, and the general public.
