Two More Cases of This Recurring Orb Pattern

The top left photo shows a mysterious orb I photographed on October 14, 2016.  Below that on the left is an orb I photographed on November 4, 2016 at Grand Central Terminal.  The other four photos are orbs I previously photographed and described in this post and this post.  In all six of these photos, we see the same pattern: a stripe stretching down  from the top of the orb, with a circle feature underneath the end of the stripe. I call this the "hose and circle" pattern. It looks rather like a ball falling out of a tube.

This recurring pattern is one of only quite a few I have identified. The table below shows other examples of recurring patterns in orbs I have photographed.
