If you were in New York City this morning and noticed a giant Pikachu scooting up and down Broadway, don't worry, you're not losing it.

The city's Office of Emergency Management and Macy's used the parade float from last year's Thanksgiving Day parade to test flight patterns in high winds.

The tests are part of a task force examining parade float procedures. The task force was formed after two people were injured in last year's parade when a balloon knocked out a light fixture, injuring two sisters.
