Spooky Swarm: 7 Photos of an Orb Storm

Photo date: August 24, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photos below were all taken at 10:00 PM on August 24, 2015.  Although the results will look quite similar to what was shown in this previous post, these photos are from one week later.

Below is the first photo in the series, which shows not very much going on. We see the Chrysler Building, the Met Life Building, and Grand Central Station.

The next photo in the series shows a huge swarm of orbs.

The next photo in the series also shows a huge swarm of orbs.

The next photo in the series shows a piece of cardboard I photographed at arm's length, to verify that the orbs I was seeing were not natural particles near the camera. As always, this test showed no orbs in front of the cardboard, indicating I was not photographing natural particles (such as dust) near the camera. (See my 23 posts labeled "cardboard test" for other similar tests in the middle of photographing many orbs, none showing any orbs in front of the cardboard.)

The next photo in the series shows a huge swarm of orbs.

The next photo in the series shows a huge swarm of orbs.  Notice how some of the orbs seem to form a kind of angle shape that is rather similar to the triangular top of the Chrysler Building.

 The next photo in the series shows a much smaller number of orbs.

 The last photo in the series shows quite a few orbs.

 

Notice how this series of photos shows more than 500 orbs above the building at bottom (Grand Central Station), but we see a total of only about 7 orbs in front of that building (all of which are very small).  This overwhelming "orb vertical bias" is very strong evidence that we are not seeing any type of natural particles (such as dust) floating near the camera. If these photos showed natural particles near the camera, such particles would be randomly distributed around the photo area.

In the posts here, here,  and here we also see equally strong evidence of this "orb vertical bias." In all of those posts, we see a series of photos in which there are hundreds of orbs floating above a building at the bottom of the photo, with almost no orbs in front of that building.  Such observations very strongly discredit any theory that natural particles near the camera are the source of the orbs in these photos.

There was no fog, mist, rain, or precipitation on this night.  The air quality listed on airnow.gov was "good," with a rating of 39.  The photos showing orbs in this post were all uploaded directly from the camera, without any cropping or changes of any type.  You can right-click on these high resolution photos to see them at their full resolution.
