A drone hovering beside a high-rise building in Brooklyn Heights appears to have been pointing its camera right at people's windows, subsequently creeping everyone out.

The Brooklyn Eagle managed to capture photos of the flying menace as it dipped and dived next to its Court Street office building.  

"I saw it from the corner of my eye," Alice Peters, a business manager for EBrooklyn Media, which owns several news outlets including The Eagle, told the newspaper.

Peters said she noticed a "camera piece" on the drone, which she deemed "a little freaky."

It looks like the operator of the drone was standing on the roof of a nearby Montague Street building, according to The Brooklyn Eagle, but his motives are yet unknown.

“It could have been any of those people’s homes right there,” Peters said, looking out the window. “It’s an invasion of privacy.”
