"Dolphin-head" Orb in Grand Central Station

Photo date: January 2, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

There are multiple strange things that can be discovered by zooming in on this photo taken in Grand Central Station. You can click on the photo and load it into a photo editor to zoom in.

One strange thing is shown in the close-up below, cropped from the bottom right corner of the photo. We see what looks a "dolphin-head" orb.

Bright Orb Speeds Atop Grand Central Station

Photo date: December 15, 2014. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

Here is a photograph taken in Grand Central Station in New York.


In the middle of the photo, we see an orb exactly positioned between two pillars. Here is a closeup cropped from the top of the photo:


 Here we see what photographers call a "ghosting" effect that is a sign of rapid movement. Given the camera's effective shutter speed of about 1/1000 of a second, an effect like this would never be produced by something like the movement of an insect. The orb was apparently moving  much faster than any insect does.

You can actually see three different circles in the photo above, and they make an L-shape. This indicates a sharp right-angle turn, a type of motion that neither insects not dust nor birds ever make. 

You can find many other similar examples of orbs moving in dramatic ways by looking at the posts on this blog labeled "inexplicable orb motion." 

The Whirling Water Drop Winker

Photo date: November 5, 2014.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

This water drop photo shows yet another example of the orb centrifuge effect, in which orbs seem to rapidly rotate around the outer edges of a water drop. You can seem to see a face in both of the rotating orbs, although the one on the left is faint.  See this blog's post labeled "orb centrifuge effect" for 26 other photos of this amazing effect.

 Here we see what photographers call a "ghosting" effect that is a sign of rapid movement. Given the camera's effective shutter speed of about 1/1000 of a second, an effect like this would never be produced by something like the movement of an insect. The orb was apparently moving  much faster than any insect does. No insects were observed at this location.

Stunning "Double Loop" Orb Motion in Grand Central Station

Photo date: December 8, 2014.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In this photo taken from a balcony at Grand Central Station (where there was only clean air in front of me),  there is an orb at the top and a very unusual shape near the bottom:


The photo below is cropped from the image above. It shows a shape I have never seen before in a photograph -- a weird "double loop" shape floating in the air. It looks almost like a lasso with loops on both ends of the loop. If you look closely, you will see it is not a single object. It is an orb or orbs that are moving in this astonishing double-loop shape. This type of shape rules out possibilities such as dust, hair, or reflection. Dust never has such a shape, nor does hair, nor does a reflection.

A Swarm of Orb Faces, With One "Blindfolded"

Photo date: December 20, 2014.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In this unaltered water drop photo showing pure clean water, we see a whole mess of orb faces. The most interesting one is the "rainbow-faced" guy who seems to have a mysterious black line across his eyes. For lack of a better term, we might call it a "blindfolded" orb.

"Laughing" Orb Next to Christmas Wreath

Photo date: December 27, 2014.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Station in New York. On the left  end of the picture we see an orb that is exactly positioned on top of a US flag. I have shown this type of "selective positioning" many times in my orb photos. For similar photos, see the posts I have labeled "orb selective positioning."

On the other end of the picture we see an orb next to a Christmas wreath. Click to see the photo at its full resolution.


Below is a closeup of the brighter orb on the right.  We seem to see a grinning face.

Weird Column of "Veils" Observed in Water Drop Photo

Photo date: December 17, 2014. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In the book "The Orb Project" by Miceal Ledwith and Klaus Heinemann, PhD, it says this on page 46 about a rare effect when photographing orbs: "Occasionally objects that resemble graceful drapes of fine cloth appear in attractive formations."

I seem to have captured just such an effect in the photo below, which was taken when photographing water drops. It shows an extremely odd anomalous effect that I am for the moment labeling as an "orb veil."  We certainly seem to have a "formation" here, with 3 nearly identical mysterious objects bunched up in stack.  They almost look like a row of strange creatures extending their arms.

Below is a closeup of the top left. We seem to see 1 or 2 mysterious eyes.

Cute Orb and Speeding Orb at Grand Central Station

Photo date: December 8, 2014.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In this photo taken from a balcony at Grand Central Station (where there was only clean air in front of me), we see some sensational details. First, I'll give the full photo, and then the closeups.  The full photo:

moving orb

Now here is a photo cropped from the top of the above photo (I used the "Auto-adjust colors" menu option of the IrfanView program on the cropped photo). Notice what seems to be a smiling face:

orb face

Here is a closeup image cropped from the bottom part of the photo:

moving orb


I believe this is an orb moving at high speeds (something that is shown in many photos on this site). The orb has made a sharp high-speed right-angle turn, producing what photographers call a ghosting effect (caused when an object exceeds a camera's shutter speed). This shows that it can't be an insect, because insects don't move that fast, and never make sharp right-angle turns. It also shows that it can't be dust as dust never has a shape like this, and never moves fast enough to produce an effect like this.

Orb Following an Orb in Grand Central Station?

Photo date: December 20, 2014.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In this photo taken in Grand Central Station in New York, we see two orbs that look as if they are following another orb, with all of them moving toward the camera. We see traces of facial features in two of these orbs, but such features are not clear enough for me to label this as a photo of orb faces.

"Tranquil" Orbs in a Water Drop

Photo date: October 30, 2014.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

Another photo of a water drop (as always, showing pure, clean water). Sometimes these water drop orbs seem to be grinning like teenagers at a party, but here the two in the middle seem to be just chilling out. Here we see yet another example of the orb centrifuge effect, wherein one or more orbs seem to speed very rapidly around the outer edge of a water drops. See the posts on this blog labeled "orb centrifuge effect" for many similar photos.

Colorful Gleeful Orb Drippers

Photo date: December 17, 2014.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In this unaltered photo of clean, pure water, we see a bunch of orbs that seem to be having a great splashy time. This is another example of the water face effect.

An Orb Face Floats in Grand Central Station

Photo Date: December 20, 2014.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

Below is a photo taken in Grand Central Station in New York.


Below is a closeup cropped from the photo above. We see what looks like a clear face. It's some grinning paranormal cheerfulness.

Speeding Orb in Grand Central Station

Photo date: December 27, 2014. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Station in
New York.

moving orb
 Below is a closeup cropped from the photo above.

moving orb
This is kind of a borderline face, so I won't label it as a face. The orb does show strong evidence of motion blur, which is a sign that the orb was moving very fast.

See the posts labeled "speeding air orb" on this blog for many more dramatic photos of speeding orbs. You can do a Google image search for "moving air orb" to find many other dramatic examples.

Orb Face Behind Distant Window Structure

Photo date: December 22, 2014. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In this photo taken in Grand Central Station, we see a mysterious orb behind one of the unusual window structures at Grand Central Station.


Below is a closeup of the orb cropped from the photo above:

orb far away
The orb is blue, and the light triangle (which is not blue) is part of the window structure.  We see only blue in the area behind the open triangle in the window structure. This orb is clearly behind this distant window structure, which was located more than 10 meters from the camera. This shows that the orb is far away from the camera. A photo such as this refutes the orb zone theory maintaining that orbs are just tiny specks of dust near the camera. For lots of other similar photos on this site, see the blog posts that have been labeled "air orb too distant to be dust."

If you look at the top corner of the open triangle, you will see what looks like an eye peering at us. We see other elements of a face, such as what looks like a mouth and a nose.

Having no natural explanation for the more dramatic orb photos, we must consider paranormal explanations.

Double Reflection Orb Face Photo # 5


Photo date: December 3, 2014.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

This is one of a series of photos I have done in front of a bathroom mirror. I have used this mirror to create double reflection. The larger water drops you see in the center of this photo are directly photographed, not reflections. On the left and right of these, you see mirror reflections of the water drops in the center. The plastic object is a container filled with water. There was only one container; the photo shows two reflections of this container.  I am using this technique to create water drop orb face photos of a type that would be all-but-impossible to fake (because of the difficulty of accurately faking all the reflections, water motion, shadows, faces, and movement).


First, here is the larger photo (click to see the full photo):



Now for the closeup cropped from part of the photo above. We see some "smiling" orb faces that seem to be looking to the right.

Three Water Drops, Three Orb "Ferris Wheels"

Photo date: November 25, 2014.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The water drop photo shown below was made by using an empty spice shaker that had been filled up with water, with all but two of the holes at the top taped over. (This was perhaps the 30th or 40th time the spice shaker had been filled with water, so nothing that we are seeing can be a grain of spice.)

We see three different cases of the orb centrifuge effect, whereby orbs seem to speed around rapidly in a circle, like test tubes in a centrifuge, or like riders in a high-speed Ferris wheel. Click to see the photo at its full resolution.


Below is a closeup of the bottom example of the orb centrifuge effect (I have slightly reduced the gamma correction). If you look closely, you can see several faces and smiles.
