<p>A mysterious orb-like object was seen flying over the Hudson River in footage aired by a local news helicopter on Monday. The light can be seen zooming in the clear skies of New York and later goes over lower Manhattan, the New York Post reported. The video was seen in a Fox 5 news report that accidentally caught the object.</p>

<p>The chopper was in the south of Battery Park and the light arches towards it in the video. The orb is moving extremely fast and looks white and blue in the video as it moves towards the camera.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While Americans are no strangers to UFOs, with several reports being made about strange objects or lights in the skies, this incident seems to be one of those where even experts on extraterrestrial issues seem to think that this is not it. They say that it mostly likely looks like an optical illusion created by the helicopter glass in front of the camera.</p>

<p>“This is most likely an optical artefact from the helicopter glass in front of the camera, namely a bright spot from the reflection of sunlight as the camera gradually changes its orientation relative to the sun and the ground,” Loeb told The Post.</p>

<p>Others also say that it just looks like an artefact, not a real object. Some also theorize that it might simply be a drone that only appears to move fast because the helicopter is also moving.</p>

<p>It is not clear when exactly the footage was shot, but it was likely sometime in the past year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>How fast the object is can be gauged from the fact it first crosses in front of a building in New Jersey near Hoboken. A shadow can also be spotted on a building.
