This Blue Orb Is Not the Moon

Photo date: July 22, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

Today the moon will supposedly have a rather bluish appearance, and we may see lots of "blue moon" photos. But the photo below is not such a photo, because we do not see the moon here. We see instead a mysterious unexplained orb, floating over a skyscraper in New York City.

 The next photo I took of this tower showed no such orb, although it did show a white orb with a pinkish aura.

Then the next photo from the same angle showed the blue orb once again appearing, although this time a lot more to the right.

There was no fog, mist, rain, or precipitation on this night. The air quality listed on airnow.gov was "good," with a rating of 23 (anything below 50 is considered good).  The pollen count listed on airnow.gov was medium, with a rating of 5.8.
