Pilot reports an object "bigger than a drone". Says he has to make a slight left turn, and that the object has lights on it.
Date May 26 2018, 1630Z (12:30PM EDT). Callsign N161MA talking to Kennedy approach. The time 1630Z (UTC) is the time of the start of a segment of ATC recording, and it's not clear exactly when the event is, but 1630A is just at the time the pilot makes an erratic turn to the left.
A possibility is that it's another plane. N111NY was in the air at that time, at about the same altitude, and moving on a course that would lead to near intersection, except N111NY was climbing.
However it would be over 20 miles away at time of first sighting, so does not seem that likely.
And the closest they get is 6 miles:
