Mysterious Red Sky Orbs: A Retrospective (Part 8)

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

My photo below shows a red orb above the MetLife building in midtown Manhattan.

My photo below shows several orbs floating near a building in New York City: a big purple orb, a red orb, a blue orb, and an orange orb.

Was It Ghost Symbolism?

 I wear an eye shade while I sleep. Last night around midnight I tried to find the shade, and it was nowhere to be found. I thoroughly inspected all the sheets and a blanket and a pillow on the bed, but could not find the eye shade I normally keep near my pillow. I checked in the crack between the bed and the wall, but still could not find the eye shade. I was the only one sleeping in the room (my wife is on a trip). 

After searching for at least five minutes (and probably ten minutes) for the missing eye shade, looking all over the room, I gave up, and got a spare eye shade from my bed stand. During the night I made several trips to the bed stand shown in the diagram below. In the early morning (in early daylight) I looked out the window, to see whether there was snow accumulation. I then went back to bed and got more sleep. 

Finally my alarm clock went off, and I arose. I was very surprised to then discover the missing eye shade, which was in about the most noticeable position it could be: on the floor, at the foot of the bed. This was not my replacement eye shade, which I could see was still on the bed, near the pillow.  

We see below the layout of the room, and where I found the eye shade in the morning, marked by the X mark. When I get up at night, the room is dimly lit by a Google Nest smoke detector which has a motion detector and a dim light that activates when you walk around in the darkness. 

I realized there may be some symbolic significance to the spooky event involving the eye shade. "Shade" was a term used in nineteenth century English to mean "ghost or disembodied spirit." And in the English language "eye" sounds just like "I." So an eye shade may symbolize the phrase "I shade," which may be equivalent to "I ghost" or "I disembodied spirit" or "I am a ghost" or "I am a disembodied spirit."  

Below we see how the Merriam-Webster dictionary has "a disembodied spirit: ghost" as one of its definitions of "shade."

The event described here is similar to an equally spooky event involving an eye shade, one I describe here.

Was That My Valentine's Day "Kiss"?

 Today I was eating pasta alone in the house where I live, with the lights shown below on. At 8:00 PM the lights mysteriously turned off, and then turned back on a second or two later.  This event occurring on Valentine's Day may be no coincidence. Valentine's Day is a day associated with gestures of love. Maybe the event was some gesture of love from some mysterious spirit power. 

Whatever it was, it seemed to involve the whole house. Outside of the kitchen I have one of those old-fashioned alarm clocks, and the clock lost its set time (and started blinking) at 8:00 PM. But a check of Con Edison's power outage map shows no reports of power outages in my neighborhood. 

Reality Accentuates My "Mind Over Matter" Post

This morning after awaking I rose to take a quick scan of a post I had auto-scheduled for publication this morning. It was a post you can read here entitled "In 1923 an Editor of Scientific American Confessed the Reality of Telepathy and Mind Over Matter." Not wearing any glasses, I passed by my television set to get my I-Pad, noticing nothing unusual on the floor.  After making a quick scan of the article, I took a shower and got dressed. Upon returning to the living room, I was very surprised to see two rubber bands on the floor, in front of the TV. One was small and yellow, and the other was very noticeable, being red and about three inches in length. How, I asked myself, could they possibly have got there? No one else was around this morning, by wife being away on a trip. My strict policy is to immediately pick up from the floor any and all objects I see there (such as coins, pens and rubber bands), as soon as I see them. I had watched TV the previous night without noticing any such rubber bands on the floor in front of the TV. 

I have seen spooky-seeming anomalies like this  involving rubber bands more than 28 times, on various days, and some examples are reported in the series of posts here. I  have speculated that this may be some type of spirit manifestation effect, noting that if some invisible power had a slight ability to move matter in our world, such a power might show itself by moving very lightweight things such as rubber bands or coins. An alternate explanation is that of a subconscious mind-over-matter effect coming from my own mind.

I admit that this effect is "peanuts" compared to the effects that reportedly occurred involving Daniel Dunglas Home, who I dreamed about last night, while correctly recalling in my dream that quite a few witnesses had reported him levitating. On the same night I saw yet another example of the spooky "light turning off and on" anomaly reported here, which I have seen more than 65 times since 2022, with 95% or more of the cases occurring while I was arising to go to a bathroom in the middle of my sleeping hours.

Postscript: As if all of the above was not strange enough, on the same day (February 13, 2026) there was another strange event. Standing right next to the white power strip that you can see a bit of in the photo  below, on the far left, I used the button on the power strip to turn off the power to my TV. At that very instant (the exact same second) I saw a 4-inch-long feather jump from my TV stand to the floor. At the time I was standing motionless about a meter away from the feather. No one else was in the room, and the windows were closed, with no fan running. There is no heating system producing air currents, and the room's heater is several meters away from the TV stand.  The feather is one that showed up a few days earlier in a rather spooky manner.  Below is what I saw after this strange jump of the feather. 

I can speculate about a symbolic significance to this strange sight. If you interpret the turning off the power as a symbol for physical death, which involves a shutdown of electricity,  the movement of the feather at the exact same instant may symbolize a flight of the soul occurring at the moment of death. 

The photo below shows the position of the feather on the TV stand a few hours before this strange event. (It is from a photo I took to document the anomaly of the rubber bands, mentioned above.)  You can see the feather was not at all on the edge of the stand. These two were the only two feathers on the TV stand. 

   

Post-postscript: The next day I tried a little test, to see how hard it is to cause a feather to fall off the TV stand. I stood right in front of the two feathers above, and vigorously shook a bath towel, like some matador waving his cape. This did not cause either feather to move. 

A Precognitive Dream?

You probably know how Youtube.com works. Somehow it presents video clip choices that are good guesses for what you might want to see, based on whichever videos you have previously clicked on or searched for (particularly recent clicks and searches). I remember something odd a few months ago. I was telling someone that one of the videos YouTube had presented in my list of suggested video choices was one that matched the very specific content of some dream I had that day (I think it was a performance of the same song I had heard in my dream that morning). I joked with the person, saying, "What, can YouTube read my mind now?"

Today something similar happened. This morning I dreamed of the rooftop dance scene in the 1961 movie West Side Story. This evening I saw in my list of suggested YouTube video choices a video of exactly that scene, a very good musical number you can watch here. Now, you might rather easily explain this coincidence if I had in recent months searched for songs from that musical, or clicked on songs from that musical. But I have not done that in more than a year, searching instead for other things on YouTube almost every day.  

One hypothesis to explain the coincidence is precognition. I should keep an eye open on whether there are any further strange matches of this type. 

Below we see a mysterious orb I photographed today. It's kind of semi-green. 

Mysterious Green Indoor Orbs: A Retrospective (Part 3)

Below is Part 3 of a retrospective showing some of the better photos I have taken indoors of mysterious green orbs.

Four days before taking that photo I photographed a mysterious orb with the same "curvy Y" pattern consisting of a curved stripe and a straight stripe. Below we see that orb:

Mysterious Red Sky Orbs: A Retrospective (Part 7)

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

My photo below shows a red orb floating above a skyscraper in New York City.

My photo below shows a monolith about 10 feet tall. It's an art work (probably temporary) placed at the southeast corner of Central Park in New York. When you look at the words carved into stone, you see they are something that produces a chuckle: a shopping list. We see at the top a mysterious orb floating about. Did it laugh at the joke?

My photo below shows a yellow orb, a red orb, and a blue orb that made a fleeting appearance above a building in New York City.  The yellow orb seemed to have a red aura.
