I saw this happen in front of Manhattan's landing rings about 3-4 times in a row on June 16 at about 7 or 8 pm Eastern standard time.
A low-level starflier must have launched about three times and been blown out of the water each time before they logged off. Similarly, a burning patriot approached the rings and promptly exploded. I saw and heard no weapons fire.
It does look like a sniper or cloaked player just as Vero said.
Next time it happens i suggest that you look at the Player list and try to get confirmination from all players in NY, prolly the one that do this do not respond.
Another thing you can do is to yell on system so that players can try to dock fast to prevent losses.
And i really hope that the admins know about this.
I am not a native English Speaker, so i make grammar errors.
But it annoys me when people make silly comments about that... especially brits who for the most part can't speak their own language let alone anyone elses!
Guys; I also saw a burning patriot before I died... If you see it! Burn the witch!
