Your Basic Indoor UFO

Photo date: December 22, 2014. Photographer: Mark Mahin.


By now I have put up on this blog many different photos of speeding orbs moving about (as you can see by looking at my posts labeled "speeding air orb"); but these posts haven't attracted much attention. Maybe I'll get more notice if I occasionally call such a thing a UFO. Since UFO simply means "unidentified flying object," and since the object shown below is apparently both flying and unidentified, such terminology is not misleading.

In this photo taken at Grand Central Station in New York, we see an orb that displays a lot of motion blur, caused when an object moves faster than the shutter speed. Since the effective shutter speed of the camera was about 1/1000 of a second, an effect like this indicates an orb that is moving very fast.
