The Seventh Occurrence of This Distinctive Pattern in a Mysterious Orb

Photo date: December 13, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a mysterious striped orb I photographed.

This is the seventh time I have photographed a mysterious orb with this particular pattern, which I call the "hose and circle" pattern. Below are other examples I photographed on various days this year. In each case we see what looks like a ball or circle that is underneath a kind of hose shape, so it looks like a ball that has fallen out of the hose.

In this post is actually an 8th occurrence of this pattern.


Below is my revised table showing recurring patterns I have observed in mysterious orbs.  You can see almost all of the examples of these patterns by opening this post.
