Colorful Sky Orbs Make It an Empire State OMG

Photo date: September 4, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows the Empire State Building in New York City. We see a swarm of orbs around it, including a green orb, a blue orb, and an orange orb.

Below is a closeup showing a blue orb and a green orb. Do we see a face or two here?

The photo at top was taken at 9:18, and also at 9:18 I took the photo below, of a piece of cardboard at arm's length. As in all of the 27 times I have tried it, this test showed no orbs in front of the cardboard, indicating that what I was photographing was not any particles (such as dust) very 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 35.
