The problem has been fixed, and using the Translate button at the top right, you should be able to translate this blog to any desired language.

Why Did It Look So Triangular?

We see below the setting sun. I am puzzled by the triangular-looking appearance of the sun.

We see below a mysterious orb I photographed indoors. There is a curved stripe, and to the left of that stripe I can see a number 6. 

The Air Force Undersecretary's Orb Encounter

 Matthew Lohmeier was recently confirmed as Undersecretary of the United States Air Force. In an interview you can read here, he described an encounter he had with a mysterious orb:

"It's not common, it's rather rare, of these balls of light that seem to zip around the flight lines and be able to defy the known laws of physics, incredibly fast. And they were like big orbs of light, orange or yellowish in color. And I paused the film, and I remembered as odd as that sounds that I'd seen the exact same thing in high school when I was in the mountains in Arizona...This ball of light that we saw descending down over our head got close enough for me to look at it and into it. And it seemed to be buzzing with life, but it wasn't man-made. It was very well-organized, very spherical, and it seemed to be very conscious of the two of us that were sitting there in the Arizona Mountains like it was observing us. And it was a distinct impression that I had that I was being watched, observed, that there was a level of interest from the orb to us, and it frightened us. And so we got up, and we ran to the car, and we ran away, and that thing zipped up and disappeared in the sky."

Pink Sky Orbs: A Retrospective (Part 6)

 Below are some photos I previously took of mysterious pink orbs in the sky. All of the photos were taken in clean, dry air when there was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation.

In my photo below, we see the skyline of New York, as viewed from across the East River. We see a mysterious pink orb that seems to be speeding downward.

My photo below shows a big pink orb floating above a tower in Manhattan.  This wasn't the moon (little more than a half moon on this day), and did not appear in other sky photos taken from the same angle at the same time.

In my photo below of a New York City tower top, we see a pink orb floating mysteriously, like some nymph of the sky.

My photo below shows the Chrysler Building in New York. We see a pink orb floating mysteriously. It almost seems to be attracted to the light from the window, like some moth attracted to a light.

My photo below shows a bunch of orbs above a building in New York City. In the middle of the swarm of purple orbs, we see a bright pink orb.

My photo below shows a pink orb that seems to be speeding upward in the sky. It reminds me of some jellyfish rising up from the depths of the ocean.
