300+ Sky Orbs Photographed in One Minute

Photo date: August 17, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In the series of photos below I will show photos all taken at 9:08 PM on August 17, 2015. The first photo was a photo of a piece of cardboard at arm's length. As I was starting to get some orbs in my photos, I took this photo to verify that what I was photographing was not any particles near my camera.  The photo showed no orbs.

The next photo showed a large number of orbs in the sky, including a pink orb. The building near the bottom is the Schwarzman branch of the New York Public Library.

So we have here hundreds of orbs photographed in a single minute. The series of photos provides two types of very strong evidence that these orbs are not natural particles (such as dust particles) floating very near the camera. The first type of evidence are the two photos at cardboard at arm's length, neither of which showed any orbs. The second type of evidence is that we see a very strong "vertical bias" in these photos, a pronounced tendency for the orbs to appear in the upper half of the photos. We see no more than about 5 orbs in front of the library building, but hundreds of orbs above the building. This is not at all what we would see from natural particles near the camera, which would be randomly scattered around the photo area.

There was no fog, mist, rain, or precipitation on this night.  The air quality listed on airnow.gov was moderate, with a rating of 51 (just above the level of 50 that would qualify as good).

See this post for another series of similar photos taken on the same day, one showing the same pronounced "vertical bias" in which virtually all of the orbs are appearing above the library building rather than in front of it. .
