The fact that the ships remain centered over one city for so long is explained in the movie by Jeff Goldblum's David Levison, who decodes the alien signal being transmitted through Earth's satellites to be a countdown to their attack. The fact that the alien ship over New York City is just beginning to leave as the sun rises indicates that the aliens unleash their powerful, city-destroying laser for quite an extended period of time before their attack finally ends. Not only that, but remaining over a city for so long could also suggest the ships deploy a second laser blast to eliminate survivors of the first.
