My girlfriend spotted something unusual over the North Fork of Long Island, NY. She mentioned it was hovering in the sky for some time. It looks like it could be a standard hobby drone, but it seemed to be flying at a low altitude and moving slowly. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on it.

It sounds like your girlfriend might have spotted a drone or something similar, especially given the time and location. Drones can often appear to be floating at low altitudes, and they can move slowly, especially if they’re hovering.
However, there are other possibilities as well. It could have been a balloon or even an unusual atmospheric phenomenon. If it had lights or a distinct shape, that might provide more clues. Drones are quite common, especially in residential and recreational areas, so it could very well be that! If you have any photos or videos, those could help in determining what it was too.
