Others suggest it is the glare from a window she may have been in front of

Skeptics say it was a UFO that was bending light to make itself invisible

Shared on Instagram that a 'thing' was in the photo but not

While taking a picture of a stunning New York City sunset, the Hollywood star of ‘Girl Meets World’ says she may have spotted a UFO.

Rowan Blanchard, 14, posted a photo on Instagram this week that appears to show a glowing vehicle hovering above the bright lights of the Big Apple, which she says was only visible in the photo.

Alien hunters are buzzing with excitement and believe the UFO disk was 90% cloaked at the time – suggesting the sun made the craft visible to the human eye.

While taking a picture of a stunning New York City sunset, the Hollywood star of ‘Girl Meets World’ may have come in contact with a UFO. Rowan Blanchard, 14, posted a photo on Instagram (pictured) this week that appears to show a glowing vehicle hovering above the bright lights of the Big Apple, which she says was only visible in the photo

‘Say what u will but that thing was just appearing in the photo and wasn’t physically there,’ Blanchard shared in the Instagram picture’s caption, which was followed by the alien-looking emoji.

The image has been ‘Liked’ 111,000 times on Instagram and received more than 1,665 comments, one of which was the well-known UFOlogist Scott C Warning from UFO Sightings Daily.

‘Awesome catch of a ring UFO over NYC,’ Waring commented.

‘Sunset is the most common time a UFOs cloak becomes vulnerable.’

‘Congrats on the great catch.’

THINK YOU'VE BEEN ABDUCTED BY ALIENS? IT MAY BE SLEEP PARALYSIS Agents Mulder and Scully may have said 'the truth is out there' in the X Files, but it may instead be buried inside the brains of people who claim they have been abducted by aliens. Those who believe they have had a close encounter of the so-called 'fourth kind' may suffer from false memories or sleep paralysis, a psychologist has claimed. A rare form of the condition, which can involve hallucinations or the feeling of being dragged out of bed, may explain 'alien abductions' that people sincerely believe happened but can't remember. Writing for The Psychologist, Christopher C French, of Goldsmiths, the University of London, who specialises in the psychology of paranormal belief and experiences, said there are plausible explanations for why people 'see' flying saucers and think they have been abducted. He noted that most of the people making these claims are clinically sane, but their belief in life in outer space may influence what they see or feel in strange situations. Advertisement

This bizarre image shows the top half of lit street lights that stand in front of a golden sunset backdrop.

And towards the top right appears to be bluish lights and a faint structure in the shape of a saucer.

Some suggest the strange sighting is nothing more than a glare from a window that she may have snapped the picture from.

While others are thrilled to see the image, because they also saw a similar UFO ‘just two years ago’.

In his blog, Waring attempts to explain why Blanchard was only able to see the faint outline of the craft when she took the picture at sundown.

The image he includes seems to suggest that humans can only see cloaked UFOs when the sun is out, which is an alien ship that bends light 180 degrees around to in order to appear invisible.

And when the sun is at a 90 degree angle, one side of the UFO visible – which suggest why Blanchard was able to capture the vulnerable craft while the sun was setting.

‘While visiting in New York City, she chanced to take a photo during a beautiful sunset, and accidentally captured a UFO disk that is 90% cloaked,’ shares Waring on UFO Sightings Daily.

‘Remember what I said about sunset being the most common time for UFOs to be seen?’

‘Its due to the bending of the light, the observer (us) and the angle of the sun’.

‘This is 100% evidence that aliens do watch over New York City with enthusiasm.’

Waring’s final statement may explain another sighting that occurred in the Big Apple earlier this year.

Tourists from the UK claimed to have snapped a picture of the Empire State Building with a 'UFO' hovering near the famous landmark on 5th Avenue.

This sighting could be part of an 'Earth safari' tourism some believe is setup for exterrestrials, but knowing New York City it was probably just a plastic bag floating in the wind.

The witness, which is going by the name 'D', reported the claim and it has been archived as Case 75586 in the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) archive, reports Inquisitr.

D was visiting New York City with his girlfriend when he took the picture while on a Double Decker bus at 5:46 pm eastern on April 2, 2016 using a simple Samsung Galaxy S6.
