AGAWAM -- A family in Agawam, Massachusetts, reported to local police that a drone was seen hovering outside their 19-year-old daughter's window early Wednesday morning, according to Western Mass News.

Ali DiCioccio, 19, was allegedly lying in bed in her second story room, when she heard a humming noise and felt a vibration. Looking out the window, she saw what she thought was a drone hovering in the air outside.

The event reportedly took place at approximately 3 a.m. on Wednesday morning.

DiCioccio allegedly rushed to the window and was able to capture 9 seconds of the drone on the camera on her cell phone before the device took off.

Ali's mother Kristin DiCioccio said that the family found the experience "creepy" and expressed concern over why the drone was there.

"It's our property, it's a violation of our space," DiCioccio said, according to Western Mass News.

Agawam Police Lt. Jennifer Blanchette said that while the event was "disturbing," it's technically not illegal to fly a drone over someone's property, unless it lands.
