Duration: 40 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: New York City (Manhattan), NY, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object

UFO appeared over Hudson River and Upper West Side of Manhattan.

I live in a high-rise building in Weehawken, New Jersey. I woke up in the middle of the night and saw this bright object hovering in the sky above the Hudson River roughly across 86th-89th street of the Upper West Side of Manhattan. As first I thought it was a star, but as I look carefully, I notice the objective was moving and its brightness changes as it moved.

Since I don't have a telescope, I couldn't tell the exact shape of object, but it looks circular and it is bright. After 15-20 minutes, the object began to ascend and the light got dimmer. Right before it fully disappeared, I saw another similar object appeared above the Manhattan Island, roughly around the 86th-80th street near the Upper West Side. The object looks very similar to the other one. It is round and it's bright. It hovered over the area for about 10-15 minutes, then it traveled toward downtown Manhattan. It was flying in a straight line, steady altitude, in a speed just faster than a helicopter. I could hear any noise from where I was.

It continued to fly in the downtown direction until it has gone beyond the view of my window.
