Dramatic Undulating Orb Motion in Grand Central Station

Photo date: December 18, 2014. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In this photo taken in Grand Central Station in New York, we see an orb making a dramatic undulating motion:

Below is a closeup cropped from this photo:

This shows the effect that photographers call ghosting, when an object moves much faster than the shutter speed. Since the effective shutter speed of the camera was about 1/1000 of a second, a photograph like this shows very high-speed motion. We see two different turns here, something that no insect or bird could ever do so quickly. This is absolutely anomalous motion unlike any that we can explain. The photograph was made by someone with very short hair, and the anomaly cannot be explained as a hair.
