Another Sky Orb With a Diagonal Slash

Photo date: January 6, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a sky orb I photographed on a dry night with no fog, mist, rain or precipitation. Like 12 other orbs I have photographed, there is a diagonal stripe in the orb, like a slash.

Below are 10 other orbs I have photographed with a similar stripe.

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.
