Night of the Backslash Sky Orbs

Photo date: February 11, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I took the top left photo on an earlier day, and the three other photos on this night. All four orbs have a diagonal stripe resembling a backslash. I have photographed 11 other orbs with a diagonal slash in the other direction (as you can see by following a link given below).

There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on this night.  This pattern recurrence is one of only 14 that I have documented. Below is my updated table listing recurring patterns in mysterious orbs I have photographed  (most of the examples referred to below can be conveniently seen in this post).

Umbilical cord ( AKA "cul-de-sac") 10 Resembles an umbilical cord with a curved loop. Is it a symbol of motherhood?
