Same Flag Top, Same Curvey-Striped "Cul-de-sac" Orb

Photo date: November 2, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo at left shows a mysterious orb I photographed at Grand Central Terminal in New York on November 2. The photo at right shows a similar-looking orb that I photographed on October 3, 2016 (as shown here). Besides the two spots being almost identical (the top of the huge flag at this station), the two orbs both have a recurring orb pattern that I call the "cul-de-sac" pattern, because it resembles an aerial view of a winding road leading to a cul-de-sac.

Below are 8 photos I have taken showing the same "cul-de-sac" pattern (one of which is the photo at right above). See here for the original posts.

Astonishingly, on the same day I photographed yet another orb showing this "cul-de-sac" pattern,  as clearly as on the photo at the top right of this post. I'll post that photo on another day.

Here is my revised table listing recurring orb motifs I have photographed (only those I have published so far).
