Narrative:
Flying over the city of lewiston; maine I caught a glimpse of an object pass off the right wingtip and lost sight of it quickly as it passed beyond the rearmost window. This all happened very quickly and for a split second I was concerned whatever the object was might strike the tail or elevator. As I recalled the image of the object it can be described as black in color and the shape was unlike that of a bird or child's balloon. From memory I can describe the shape as having extremities which I interpreted as possibly being a drone.hearing a skylane announce departure from lew toward my position I advised the pilot over CTAF of a possible drone over the city to which he acknowledged.
