I live alone on the 7th floor of a thick concrete walled building In the city center. I usually only hear the faint noise from upstairs neighbours. Or occasionally wind and rain against the windows. Today I heard something that sounded like it could have been almost scratching on my living room window around 10 30pm. Initially ignored it but later out of curiosity opened the window. Basically I can see a part of the building wall and other balconies from mine(U shaped). Strangely I could only see a black mass the size of a big rat or a crow just float away towards the top on the opposite side wall of the building. I don’t think it was a shadow. After the first viewing I assumed I saw a bird/bat but there was no fluttering. I closed and opened the window again(confused)to check if I could see it again but could not. Could it have been any other animal or a drone? Super weird experience.

I think you need fire for whatever you saw. A large fire. A flamethrower perhaps.
One night I was closing the window in my bedroom before going to bed and I happened to see some massive creature crawling from the underside of my upstairs neighbors balcony towards the top. The size must have been somewhere between the size of my outstretched hand to the size of my head. It was massive. I have no glue what I saw but it was actually terrifying. My wife saw it too and we still talk about it.
I have never seen anything like that before or since.
This is why we all have monster balls in our disaster prevention backpacks.
What about a flying squirrel ? That would fit the bill quite nicely imo
Could still be a crow. They can glide pretty far without needing to “flutter”.
I’ve seen civets, ハクビシン in Japanese, in the city centre. It’s possible one of them paid you a visit.
What you got is probably a black plumed Raven wandering from the night’s Plutonian shore.
“Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
`Surely,’ said I, `surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore –
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; –
‘Tis the wind and nothing more!”
Empty black garbage bag blowing in the wind?

Youkai.
Drones don’t scratch at your window, and there is a lot more prop noise than most people expect. You would for sure know if it was a drone.
Tokyo Window Oni. Well known to the ancients.
The cockamouse!
Could have been a Japanese giant flying squirrel. They are fairly large, and I have heard of some people that have kept them as pets. Maybe one escaped? Lol
It might be rats. We have them in the walls of our house and currently working with the exterminator to get rid of them. Keep your eyes open and your windows closed so they can’t get in. They are very smart fuckers. The ones we have here don’t come out of the walls because they know our cat is wanting to eat them and they have managed to avoid traps for the past 3 weeks.
