The 9th Time I've Seen This Orb Pattern

Photo date: February 15, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a mysterious orb I photographed with a curved stripe at the bottom. This is the 9th time I have photographed a mysterious orb with this type of curved stripe at the top or bottom of the orb.

Below are some similar-looking orbs I photographed on previous days.

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).
