Orb Does Philippe Petit Impression?

Photo date: November 25, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a memorial to commemorate soldiers who died in the Civil War.  We see an orb that seems to be exactly balanced on a wire, reminding me of the high wire artist who traversed the World Trade Center towers in 1974.  The object was not the moon, and did not appear in the next photo from this angle.

There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on this night.
