Hurtling Orb in Grand Central Station

Photo date: December 15, 2014. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

Here is a photograph taken in Grand Central Station in New York.

Here is a closeup of the orb shown in this photo:

Here we see what photographers call a "ghosting" effect that is a sign of rapid movement. Given the camera's effective shutter speed of about 1/1000 of a second, an effect like this would never be produced by something like the movement of an insect. The orb was apparently moving  much faster than any insect does. No insects were observed at this location.

The turn observed here is a right-angle turn much sharper than insects make.
