Speeding Saucer?
Photo date: May 30, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below shows a pinkish object that appeared above a building in New York City.
A closeup shows an object with an ovoid shape that looks very different from the orbs I typically photograph in the sky. Could it be some kind of flying saucer?
There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on this night.

Sleepy Orb?
Photo date: May 27, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see an orb that rather seems to have an eye-like feature in the center. If this is an eye-like feature, then the orb looks rather sleepy.

Surprising Crescents

The photos below was taken while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see some of the strange objects I call orb crescents.

Mystery of the Violet Orb
Photo date: March 19, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The previously unpublished photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see a violet-colored orb. What is that strange thing behind the orb (or inside it)? Call it the weirdness inside the weirdness.

Orb and the Blue Sky Glow
Photo date: May 28, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below shows a bright orb that appeared near a building in New York City, on a night when the moon was just a half-moon. Above the orb we can see a mysterious blue glow in the sky, like I have several times photographed before (as shown here).
There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on this night.

The Freaky Five
Photo date: May 29, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see a water drop that seems to have five smiling orbs inside it. See here for many other examples of this strange effect.

Call Them "Wong Wows"
I just came across the Facebook page of Candice Wong, who has taken some orb photos similar to some of mine. Here and here she has photos of striped orbs, which I have also photographed here. In this photo she has a very spectacular shot of what I call a "string of pearls" moving orb, the same type of effect I show in this series of 37 photos.
Below is my own photo of a striped orb from March 26, 2016. Note the extremely distinctive "shadow stripe" in which there are two thin stripes flanking the thick stripe.

A Cozy Corner Niche for the Purple Orb to Rest
Photo date: May 27, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see a purple orb that has appeared in a little spot at the intersection of two huge walls in the station. It's like a bird resting on a perch.
A closeup shows the orb seeming to rest quite exactly on this little corner "perch."

Split Aura of the Orange Sky Orb

The photo below shows an orange orb near a building in New York City. The object was not the moon.
A closeup shows the "split aura" effect I have often photographed in orbs. The left half of the aura is red, and the right half is orange.
There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation when the photo was taken.

The Mysterious Figures
Photo date: April 28, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see two odd-looking figures. We can see no eyes on the figure on the left, although we can rather seem to see a glow around the figure's head. But we can seem to see a huge dark eye in the figure on the right.

Was It Waiting in Line To Buy a Ticket?

Moving Orb and the Strange Figure
Photo date: May 24, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. On the left we see a mysterious orb that seems to be moving fast. On the right is a strange-looking figure that seems to have an unusually narrow head.

The Purple Weirdness Above Them
Photo date: May 24, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. Above a crowd we see an unusual purple orb different from the blue and white orbs I typically photograph here.

Triplication of the Orb Veil Shapes
Photo date: May 26, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see some of the objects I call orb veils. What is remarkable here is how the highly distinctive shape of the object on the right exactly matches the shape of the lower object on the left. We would not expect such an exact match if we were seeing something like mere splashes of water.

Transparent Companion
Photo date: May 20, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see a sole man on one of the balconies that typically have many people on them. The scene would have a lonely ambiance, like a painting of Edward Hopper, were it not for the transparent orb who provided the man with a little company.

Exuberant Enigma
Photo date: May 26, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see some orbs in a water drop, orbs that seem to have rather giddy expressions.

Orb Rings
The composite image below shows various photos I have taken of the strange things I call orb rings. All of the photos were taken while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. I have no idea why these ring-like structures appear, and their appearance while photographing water drops seems highly anomalous.
Orbs Keep Aligning to the Balcony Edges
The photos below were taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York (the first one on May 16, 2016 and the next two on May 24, 2016). Each shows a mysterious orb that has aligned itself to either the top or the bottom of a balcony. I see this kind of "orb aligning behavior" very frequently at this location, much more often than I would expect to see by chance. See here for some astonishing examples.
Escalator Enigma
Photo date: May 22, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see a rather cheerful-looking orb floating at an escalator.

Bright Transparent Orb in the Station
Photo date: May 24, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photos below were taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see a bright blue orb that seems to have converged on a particular person. We can only wonder whether this caused the person to feel a fleeting chill.

Was It Gleefully Rolling Down the Banister?
Photo date: May 24, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see a mysterious orb that rather seems to be having a grand old time rolling down a banister, like some kid having fun.
I have twice previously photographed mysterious orbs on a banister at this station, as shown here.

Sky Spooks?
Photo date: May 11, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photos below shows some colorful orbs floating above buildings in New York City.
There was no rain, fog, mist or precipitation on this night, on which the moon was only a crescent. The air quality listed on airnow.gov was "good," with a rating of 46.

Everything Was Blurred Except the Orb
Photo date: May 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York, while my camera was accidentally moving in a kind of sudden jerk. All of the details of the station have that kind of motion blur that you might get when taking a picture while your camera is moving in a sudden jerk. But we see one object that is not blurred: a mysterious orb floating in the station. It's as if the orb is somehow defying the laws of optics. I have seen this effect in three previous photos, shown here.
This rather reminds me of the recent Game of Thrones episode in which everyone gets burned up in an all-consuming building fire, except for the magical heroine, who calmly walks right through the fire and emerges from the building unscathed. We rather seem to see the same kind of "defiance of the natural rules" thing going on here with this orb.

Aligning Orbs in the Station
Photo date: May 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photos below were taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see two mysterious orbs that are both exactly aligning on an architectural line in the station. I see this type of alignment very frequently in my photos of orbs in this location, much more than I would expect to see by chance.
See here for many other examples.

As Translucent as a Ghost
Photo date: May 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see a transparent blue orb that rather looks as if it has engulfed some person. Call it the spooky stairway.

Return of the Spooky Sky Blob
Photo date: May 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photos below show a strange blue blob in the sky that I photographed several times last night in New York City, only when pointing towards the western sky. I have five times previously photographed such an anomaly. This time the strange blue blob was high above the horizon, about 50 degrees above the horizon (using a system in which directly overhead is 90 degrees). Other times I have seen this strange glow closer to the horizon.

Floating Freakiness
Photo date: May 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see an unusual orb floating above a flag. This orb has a strange kind of "orb inside the orb" look to it that is very rare for me to see.

Who Took a Bite Out Of It?
Photo date: May 3, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see a bright orb hanging out near the upper row of lights in the station. The orb has an unusual mark, as if someone had taken a bite out of it.
Speaking of unusual orbs, on the same day I photographed this strange orb, unusual not only because of its green color but because of the strange mark on it.

Enigmatic Eavesdropper?

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see a large transparent orb that almost looks as if it is eavesdropping on the conversation of the two men on the stairs.

Yellow Orb Above the Gargoyle

The photo below shows a yellow orb above a gargoyle at the top of a building.
This orb seems to have been moving fast, as did the yellow orb below seen on the same day.
There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on this night.

A Faint Blue Face?
Photo date: May 20, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see a blue orb that rather seems to have a faint face including two eyes, a nose, and a grin. I had to adjust the "gamma correction" factor to make the faint details more visible.

Was This Orb Speeding Back and Forth?
Photo date: May 20, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see a blue orb that seems to be speeding. This one is particularly unusual, in that we seem to see a kind of trailing tail of motion on both the left side and the right side of the orb. Was it moving back and forth rapidly, like some kind of paranormal pendulum?

My New Kindle E-Book
I have just released a new Kindle E-book available on www.amazon.com. Filled with very many photos, the book is entitled Orbs: The Strangest Mystery. In the book I discuss my astonishing experiences in photographing a variety of weird, unexplained things such as orbs. When you read the book, you will learn about observations so enigmatic that you will understand why I decided to call orbs "the strangest mystery."
You can order the book by clicking here. Even if you don't have an E-book reader, you can read Kindle books on your PC or Android device by downloading this app. The cover of the book is below. The cover shows an orb photo I described in this post.
And while you're at www.amazon.com,check out my previous E-book on paranormal phenomena, shown below.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see a blue orb at the tip of the US flag.
If you look closely at the orb, you can see features that you might interpret as an eye and a nose.
