A woman from New York City claimed to have spotted a strange UFO hovering over the area. According to the eyewitness, the mysterious object followed her as she was taking her dog for a walk.

The woman, who did not reveal her identity, reported her encounter via the UFO Sightings Daily blog. According to her, she took her dog out for a walk at around 8 o’clock p.m. near the upper west side of New York City.

As she and her dog were walking down the street, she noticed a bright light in the sky. At first, she thought it was an airplane. However, after walking about half a block, she spotted the same bright object in the sky again.

According to the woman, the object did not appear to be moving in a specific direction. Instead, it seemed it was following her as she continued to take her dog for a walk.

“I did half [a] block with my dog [and] I stopped again and noticed this light [moved into] position, but [it] was not going in a clear direction,” the woman stated according to UFO Sightings Daily. “When I [started] walking, I noticed this light [was] also moving. When I stopped, the light stopped parallel to me.”

The eyewitness noted that she observed the strange light by walking outside to see if it would still follow her. She said that wherever she went, the object moved in the same direction.

The woman said she spent almost an hour walking outside her apartment to observe the strange light’s movements.

Although the video she took is not clear enough to help identify the strange object, it is possible that it was a drone being controlled by someone in the area. It is possible that that the person controlling the drone was deliberately following the woman through a mounted camera as a form of a prank, or its movements were purely coincidental.

As indicated in various reports, such as one from The Hill, drones are sometimes being used in the city to monitor the current lockdown status.
