    The New York Daily News reported on October 13 that a mysterious object floating high over New York set off a flurry of reports and wild speculation 1 Wednesday that a UFO was flying over the city。

    Police and the Federal Aviation Administration said they began getting flooded with calls starting at 1:30 p.m. from people reporting a silvery object hovering 2 high over Manhattan。

    A Daily News reporter could see a tiny, silver dot floating approximately 5,000 feet above the 23th Street and the Eighth Avenue, where dozens of people gathered late in the afternoon to catch a glimpse。

    Not long after the first sightings, messages began appearing on Twitter linking to a month-old press release announcing the publication of a book by a retired 3 NORAD officer predicting that UFOs would buzz the earth's major cities on October 13.

    The US Federal Aviation Administration said it could not find anything out of the ordinary after reviewing radar 4 data。

    Spokesman Jim Peters said if it was a weather balloon or any kind of organized balloon release, authorities should have been notified in advance. However, police officials said they had received no notification。

    据美国《纽约每日新闻》10月13日报道,当日有不明飞行物出现在美国纽约上空,引发媒体和当地民众对此事的关注热潮,有人猜测不明飞行物是外星飞碟。

    纽约警方和美国联邦航空局声称,他们从下午1:30开始不断接到当地人打来的电话,称一个银色闪光物体盘旋在曼哈顿的上空。

    《纽约每日新闻》记者也亲眼目睹了一个小小的银色闪光点悬停在23号大街和8号大街附近上空,它离地面约有5000英尺,随后下午就有很多人聚集在那里希望能看一眼这个不明飞行物。

    从第一个目击者开始不久,在社交网站“Twitter”就有消息传来,有人将此次事件和一个月以前北美防空司令部的一名退役军官出版的新书联系起来,该书预测10月13日将有UFO光顾地球上的大型城市。

    美国联邦航空局声称他们核对了(该地区的)雷达扫描报告,并没有发现有什么异常之处。

    发言人吉姆?皮特斯表示,如果这是一个气象气球或其他释放的热气球的话,当局应该提前被告知。但是,警方表示他们没有收到任何有关此类气球放飞的报告。
