Description

Location: Queens, New York. Specifically, over Long Island City/Astoria.

Date: October 19, 2024

Time: 6:48 pm

Duration: Approximately 4 minutes.

Number of witnesses: 1, myself.

Description of sighting: Flying over Long Island City/ Astoria, it looked to be moving slowly northeastward. It eventually moved away from me slowly and I lost sight of it. You can see the entire length of time that I was recording it in the unedited video, linked below. I watched it with my eyes for about 1 minute before I started recording. The video was taken with a Panasonic LUMIX FZ80. It was relatively clear up to the maximum optical zoom but gets pretty blurry when the digital zoom turns on. The only things altered were the stabilization for some clips, one clip was a freeze frame, and I added the YouTube channel name.
