Congruent Orb Veils, One With a Rainbow Spot

Photo date: November 12, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  We see one of the strange objects I call orb veils. Typically appearing as closed polygons with lots of spiky points, these strange objects have a very distinctive and unusual set of characteristics that are very hard to explain (all conventional explanations don't work, as discussed here).  One of the strangest things about these orb veils is their tendency to appear in congruent "stacks," in which the same shape is duplicated.  We see such a stack here, with one orb veil above another orb veil with the same shape.  The objects appeared at the photo edge. The top one has an unusual rainbow colored spot.

Below is another orb veil I photographed on the same day, along with some of the equally baffling objects I call orb crescents.
