Large craft seen in the sky on Main Street in East Hartford, CT. Craft seen changing directions and hovering.

Around 7:30/7:40 PM on Saturday, June 1, 2024, my daughter and I were coming from Burnside Avenue when we entered Main Street, we were headed to I-84 West. I was driving paying attention to traffic, when my daughter (8 years) that was in the backseat, pointed to the sky of her rolled down window, and asked me about five times, “What is that?”, as she pointed up to the sky. I replied, “baby, I’m driving, I cannot look at whatever you’re pointing at.” She continued to try to gain my attention, so I decided to finally take a look. At first, I couldn’t see what she was talking about, because the object was not in a position where I could spot it from my point of view…..but then I spotted it. My daughter said, “Mommy, that’s a drone”. I said, “No baby”, and nodded my head, “That is not a drone!” There was a plane in the sky as well as the object & they both looked about the same size. The object and the plane looked about the same distance as well. The object had an oval (wide) shape & was a dull grayish white color. While we were observing it, we noticed that looking at it had caused our eyes to think that there were two objects. We felt like we had double vision when we looked at it, so I closed one eye and that seemed to eliminate the double vision, so I had my daughter follow suit while observing the object. Both of us were astonished and both of us began pointing up into the sky (while we were stopped at a light). The object was headed in the opposite direction, we spotted it on the left side of our vehicle as we headed up Main Street. The object then stopped in mid air and hovered as still as can be for about a minute or two. All of a sudden, the object started flying in the same direction as us, my daughter said, “Mommy, it’s following us”. I looked at it and confirmed that it was now headed in our same direction. My daughter began to become afraid, fearing that it was going to follow us home. After we entered a small underpass right before turning onto the highway, it was no longer in sight. It seems as if it vanished.
