The video was shot by Tony Shea, who runs his own online space and paranormal site called Shea Magazine, after he said he "felt presence".

He wrote in an article with the footage filmed in New York: "I got up this morning at about 2 am, awoken by a strange dream. 

"Somewhere around 5 am I noticed that there was a strange round object in the sky. 

"I thought at first it was the reflection of my computer off the window.

"But then something else strange happened, I felt an odd presence watching me somehow, like a beam coming through the window, and then I grabbed a camera and started recording.
