To be honest, I don't understand why people think it's an UFO and not a plane. (Or helicopter)
It's NYC, I would EXPECT planes over NYC, also during a storm.
The fact it appears stationary could be from the angle it's shot, whether it's an object disappearing we don't know..all we see is a LIGHT turning on and off. Could be landing lights.
HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING:
THIS VIDEO IS IN A LOOP (don't just trust what you see, look again and look closer!)
It's a video of *the same* lighting strike at least 3x in succession. Ever time when the light goes on you see THE SAME lightning flash (watch the lighting arches and the patterns and compare the three!). It's the same flash and the same light at the same time in a loop. Therefore it looks like the light (plane?) is stationary....in reality it is not, it's simply the same sequence multiple time in the video! If you don't believe me check the video for yourself.
On an interesting side-note, since the video is definitely in a loop, this also means that the claim of the media "how lighting struck over and over again" is FALSE. Shoddy, bogus news reporting.

I'm in the camp of wanting there to be SOMETHING out there, but calling a natural phenomenon something it isn't doesn't help the case. Always seen during storms because it's lightning.
Ball lightning.

I really dont see what your seeing here. I dont see that its a loop.
On another note, here is a video of a UFO flying in a lightening storm. I know some people may think its not a UFO, but if its not what is it?

To the pseudo-scientists who claim the light/UFO is ball lightning I say PHOOEY! I've seen enough documentaries on TV showing ball lightning being created in a lab and the "orbs" that are generated shoot off in all directions. Not one materialized and dematerialized and remained stationary.
Logic seems to be in short supply on this forum.

Loop or not, all we're left with is one more video showing a speck of light in the night sky. I could go outside my house right now, point my video camera towards the city of Chicago and get you a 1 minute video of a jet 15 miles out from landing at Ohare. It would be a dead stationary point of light until it was within 3 or so miles of landing.
Vids and Pics of lights in the night sky are very easy to obtain and 99.999% are rarely worth the effort to study, IMO.

Its definetly loop and its time compressed. The "UFO" doesnt blink. It just appear in the one of the quick loops. We dont have any time index for the lightning. This video could be 5 hours time compressed... or 5 minutes.
Ball lightning is extremely probably. Far, far, far more probably than any aliens.

Thank you for your comment. Most people choose to look the other way and scoff at the idea that it could be UFO.
