Bright Orb Speeds Atop Grand Central Station

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

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

In the middle of the photo, we see an orb exactly positioned between two pillars. Here is a closeup cropped from the top of the 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.

You can actually see three different circles in the photo above, and they make an L-shape. This indicates a sharp right-angle turn, a type of motion that neither insects not dust nor birds ever make. 

You can find many other similar examples of orbs moving in dramatic ways by looking at the posts on this blog labeled "inexplicable orb motion."
