A Pair of Congruent Orb Veils, One with 7 "Eyes"
Photo date: September 29, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see two of the mysterious objects I call orb veils. You can see at the top that there are two of these objects with the same shape, one on top of the other. What is particularly interesting here is the number of ring-like "eyes" we see here. I often see one or two of these ring-like "eyes" when photographing orb veils, but in this case we can see seven of these "eyes."
Below is a closeup of one of the bottom rings. We see four concentric rings. It has a kind of "pebble dropped in the pond" look.
See this composite photo to see 35 other examples of these strange orb veils.

Sport Spirits?
Photo date: September 7, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below shows some orbs floating mysteriously above Citi Field, the home stadium of the recently successful New York Mets baseball team. Is this a good omen for their chances in the upcoming playoffs?
There was no fog, mist, rain, or precipitation on this night.

Big Orb Moves Above Them
Photo date: September 22, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see a large orb above a crowd of people. If you look closely, you can see a sign of motion blur, indicating that the orb is moving quickly.

Mystifying "Mushrooms"
Photo date: September 29, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see three half-orbs, and underneath each is a small veil-like object. Coincidentally (or perhaps not) these items combine to create 3 images looking like little luminous mushrooms.

Orb Veils Make Columns of Luminous Weirdness
Photo date: September 29, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. Since the photo seems to show some utterly abnormal reality, we can use our imaginations. We might say it looks like a column of luminous fairies -- or maybe the pony tail of an angel.
Below is another equally strange photo from the same day.

Mystery Orbs Nuzzle Above the Eclipse
Photo date: September 27, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The bottom of this photo shows a lunar eclipse in progress. Directly above the eclipse, we see two orbs that seem to be nuzzling each other. They remind me of two lovers I saw on the street, who were kissing each other during the eclipse.
There was no rain, fog, mist or precipitation on this night. The air
quality listed on airnow.gov was "good," with a rating of 24.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see a mysterious blue orb at the top.
Below is a closeup of the orb (I used the IrfanView "Auto-adjust colors" menu option on the closeup). We see an orb that seems to have an eye-like feature.

Mysterious Smiles in a Water Drop
Photo date: September 27, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see a line of cheerful-looking orbs. It's another example of the astonishing water face effect, shown in 249 posts on this blog.

Orb Speeds Near the Supermoon
Photo date: September 27, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
This photo show's yesterday's unusually bright moon, called a "supermoon" in the press. To the left we see a mysterious pinkish-white orb.
Below is a closeup of the orb on the left, one that seems to show that it was moving rapidly.

Three Orbs Align with the Eclipse
Photo date: September 27, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The white object near the bottom of this photo shows the moon during a lunar eclipse. The three objects above it are three mysterious orbs that showed up to form a line with the lunar eclipse. The original photo actually showed a triangle of 7 orbs, with the lunar eclipse at the bottom of the triangle. But since the orbs on the right part of the photo appeared rather dimly, I am showing only this part of the photo.

Purple Orbs Haunt the Church
Photo date: September 23, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below shows a bunch of purple orbs in front of a church on Madison Avenue in New York. The brightest orb is a white orb that is directly positioned in front of a cross at the top of the church.
The photo above was taken at 9:05 PM, and the next photo I took (also at 9:05 PM) was of a piece of cardboard at arm's length. As always, this test showed no orbs, suggesting that what I was photographing was not any particles near the camera.
There was no fog, mist, rain, or precipitation on this night. The air quality listed on airnow.gov was "good," with a rating of 38.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see three mysterious orbs forming a triangle.
On the same day I took the photograph below showing two orbs.
Below is a closeup of the top orb. Notice how snugly it is fitting -- like a golf ball in a golf ball hole.

A Typical Orb Veil
Photo date: August 6, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see one of the strange objects I call orb veils.
This is a fairly typical appearance for one of these strange objects, which often appear in a half-circular shape rather resembling a jellyfish.

The Orb and the Ghostly Mist
Photo date: September 23, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken at Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see a bright orb at the top right of the photo.
Below is a closeup of the bottom left corner of the photo (I used the IrfanView "Auto-adjust colors" menu option on this closeup). We see something strange I have photographed repeatedly at this location: what looks like some strange ghostly mist floating about, blocking us from seeing some of the figures behind the "mist."
I will now be using the label "ghostly mist indoors" to label photos in which I see this effect. See here for a set of 8 previous photos in which I observed a similar strange effect.

Purple Majesty of a Big Orb
Photo date: September 3, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below shows a school in New York City. I have taken quite a few photos at this exact spot, and have never had any other of my photos taken at this spot show an anomaly like this one: a huge purple orb on the left. There was no bright light nearby that might have caused lens flare (this is the full original photo). The photos before and after showed no such anomaly. See this series of photos describing nights on which I photographed this type of orb repeatedly, as many as 8 times on a single night, with the orb appearing in a wide variety of places.
There was no fog, mist, rain, or precipitation when I took this photo. The air quality listed on airnow.gov was "good," with a rating of 3 which indicates air about as clean as it ever gets (anything below 50 is considered good).

Orbs Gather Above Fifth Avenue
Photo date: September 26, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below shows Fifth Avenue in New York City. We see dozens of orbs above the buildings, but virtually none in the lower part of the photo. That indicates we are seeing something up in the sky, not something that was near the camera.
There was no fog, mist, rain, or precipitation on this night with very clean air. The air quality listed on airnow.gov was "good," with a rating of 21 (anything below 50 is considered good).

More Repetitions of the "Orb Information" Hint
Photo date: September 26, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
In this previous post, I showed two photos of orbs floating above a message with a heading of "Information." I asked whether this is perhaps some hint that orbs can give us information. On this day I got two additional photos of orbs above this "Information" word. The first one is below.
I also took this photo on the same day, which shows two orbs above the word "Information."

Hasty Hurtler in a Water Drop
Photo date: September 26, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photos below were taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see an example of the orb centrifuge effect shown 76 times in this series of posts. An orb seems to be spinning very rapidly around the outer edges of a water drop.

Blue Orb Does a Very Sharp U-Turn
Photo date: September 23, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York City. We see a bright blue orb that seems to be moving in a very sharp U-turn. We never see turns this sharp being made by insects, birds, or dust. Motion this dramatic is a sign we are dealing with an unexplained that we do not understand. See this series of posts for 6 other photos showing orbs making sharp U-turns. See this series of 35 photos of orbs making dramatically sharp turns or undulating turns.

Orbs Keep Showing Even When the Air Is Super-Clean
Photo date: September 20, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
On this night in New York City there was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation, and the air was extremely clean. The air quality was listed on airnow.gov with an unusually low rating of only 5 (anything below 50 is considered good). But this caused no decrease in orb activity. One picture I took this night is shown below. The yellowish object (not shown in the second photo below taken at the same time ) is not the moon.
The strange object at the top had an unusual shape.
On the same night with super-clean air, I took the photo below. We see a purplish orb moving to the left (a northern direction) even though we can tell from the flag that the wind was blowing to the right (a southern direction).

The Cyan Orb and the Ghostly Weirdness
Photo date: September 23, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York City. We see a rare cyan-colored orb on the stairway. Right-click to see the photo at its full resolution.
One form of "ghostly weirdness" in this photo is that the head of the figure at the bottom left seems to be blocked by some misty snake-like cloud that is floating about. Another eerie thing can be seen by looking at a closeup of the orb. To the right of the orb, we can seem to see some strange ghostly-looking face, one that is grinning.

Blue Orb and the Eerie Figure

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York City. We see a bright blue orb at the bottom, and a larger orb at the top.
A closeup shows some rather eerie-looking hooded figure next to the orb. He looks almost like some mysterious magician, conjuring the orb out of thin air.

Water Drop Speeder Leaves Behind a Striped Streak
Photo date: September 10, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. In this strange photo, we see a strong indication of an orb in a water drop moving very rapidly (which is also shown in my 73 photos showing the orb centrifuge effect). But this photo has something odd I've never photographed below. The "streak of motion" of the orb has a strange dark stripe. Another weird thing is that three of the orbs have little stripes on their tops, as if they were wearing headbands.

Mysterious Multitude: Visitation of the Orbs
Photo date: September 23, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken of a church on Madison Avenue in New York City. We see a great swarm of mysterious orbs.
This photo was taken at 9:05 PM, and both the photo before and the photo after this photo (both also taken at 9:05 PM, from the same position) were photos of a piece of cardboard at arm's length. As always, those photos showed no orbs in front of the cardboard. Below is a composite image showing these two photos and the photo below. There is no way to reconcile such a series of photos with a hypothesis that the photo above was showing dust near my camera.
There was no fog, mist, rain, or precipitation on this night. The air quality listed on airnow.gov was "good," with a rating of 38.
