Was the Bright Orb Investigating Human Eating Customs?

Photo date: September 29, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a bright blue orb I photographed in front of a dining area in Grand Central Terminal in New York.

Strange Crescents

Photo date: September 27, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows some very strange crescent shapes that showed up while I was photographing nothing but ordinary drops of clean, pure water falling against a dark background. I've photographed such crescent weirdness more than 100 times, as shown here.  By now I must have photographed more than 500 anomalous crescents.

A Yellow-Green Orb in Grand Central

Photo date: September 27, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a yellow-green orb I photographed at Grand Central Terminal in New York. I very commonly photograph blue and white orbs at this location, but getting an orb of this color is very rare at this location (although I often photograph yellow sky orbs).

A Blue Moving Orb

Photo date: September 26, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a blue orb I photographed indoors. It was apparently moving very fast. We seem to see two position states of a fast-moving object.

There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on either of these nights.


Raven Symbol in the Mysterious Orb?

Photo date: September 28, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows some very odd-looking orbs that showed up while I was photographing nothing but ordinary drops of clean, pure water falling against a dark background. The one at the top looks like a raven.  A quick check on the web suggests that the raven is a symbol of good luck.

Blue Rush of the Speeding Orb

Photo date: September 27, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a blue orb that seems to be moving very fast at Grand Central Terminal in New York, a place I have photographed many speeding orbs, as you can see by watching these 2 videos.

Blue Orbs Hang Out in the Station

Photo date: September 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photos below show four blue orbs I photographed in Grand Central Terminal in New York.

"Punched" and Perplexing

Photo date: April 19, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The previously unpublished photo below shows some very odd-looking orbs that showed up while I was photographing nothing but ordinary drops of clean, pure water falling against a dark background. The orbs almost look as if someone went at them with a paper puncher.

A Striped Multicolored Sky Orb

Photo date: September 27, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows an orb that appeared on the top border of a larger photo I took.  The orb has two types of weirdness: a multicolored appearance and a strange stripe.  See here for other photos of multicolored sky orbs, some of which also have stripes.

There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on this night. The air quality listed on airnow.gov was "good," with a level of 42.

Purple Orb Playing "Tag the Tower"?

Photo date: September 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a purple orb that rather seems to be nuzzling a skyscraper in New York City.

A Column of 7 Striped Orbs

Photo date: September 27, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I took the photos below while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark background.  The left photo shows a shocking anomaly that is quite inexplicable: seven orbs that each have a similar-looking stripe.  See here for20 similar photos, one of which shows 20 striped orbs in a single photo. On the right we see some of the equally mysterious objects I call orb rings and orb crescents (which I have photographed more than 100 times, as shown here).

Nocturnal Entity

Photo date: September 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below a bright orb above a building in New York, on a night in which the moon was only a half-moon. We can faintly see the orb's outer ring.

Striped Orb With an Eye?

Photo date: September 16, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a mysterious striped orb, something I am photographing with increasing frequency, as shown in this series of 140 photos.  Notice the eye-like feature on the left.

Was the Purple Orb Resting on the Roof?

Photo date: September 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below a purple orb that seems to be resting on top of a tower in New York City. This is one of more than a dozen photos I have of orbs on the exact top of buildings, which you can see here.

There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on this night.

The Strangest Debate Watcher?

Photo date: September 27, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a mysterious orb (with a dark mark) that showed up while I was watching the Clinton-Trump debate.

A Paranormal Sky

Photo date: September 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below a swarm of orbs I photographed above a building in New York City. We see here a strong case of what I call orb "vertical bias," the tendency of orbs to appear above buildings in the foreground of the photo, rather than being randomly scattered across the photo area.  Such a tendency (which I have many times photographed) is a strong indication we are not seeing here any particles near the camera, which would be randomly distributed around the photo area.

"Sky Snake" Above the Purple Sky Orb

Photo date: September 25, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a strange snake-like luminosity above a purple sky orb above a building in New York City. There were no aircraft visible, and this is not the type of motion a plane would ever make. The snake-like sky luminosity resembles the ones seen here and here.

Speeding Orb at the Station

Photo date: June 27, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a blue orb speeding very fast at Grand Central Terminal in New York. The object appeared on the right edge of the photo. I always keep my camera strap (which is gray, not blue) wrapped around my wrist when photographing, so I know this was not my camera strap. You can actually see what looks like two position states of a single blue ball.  This is one of very many blue speeding orbs I have photographed at this location, as you can see by looking at this set of photos.

A Multicolored Orb in the Sky

Fast UFO or Speeding Orb?

Photo date: September 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows an object that seems to be speeding very fast near 30 Rockefeller Center in New York.

I saw no aircraft when the photo was taken. There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on this night.

Wondrous Wetness

Photo date: September 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I took the photos below while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark background. We see an example of the strange phenomenon I call the water face effect, wherein face-like details mysteriously appear in water drops.

The second photo shows the same effect.

little faces
See this video for many other examples of this strange phenomenon, something I have photographed 300+ times over a period of almost two years (as you can see in this series of photos). 

Was It Waiting for the Ticket Window to Open?

Photo date: September 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

Below we see a mysterious orb in Grand Central Terminal that almost seems to be waiting for one of the station's ticket windows to open.

Was the Purple Orb Lingering or Reappearing?

Photo date: September 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I took the two photos below during the same minute. Did the purple orb reappear -- or was it just lingering?

There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on this night.

The Frequency of Orb Colors

The graph below shows how often different orb colors have appeared in my photos. I made the graph below by using the numbers in the Labels section of this blog. For example, for the number of blue orbs, I used the number of 672, because I have 672 posts which have the "blue air orb" label. 

frequency of orb colors
I have published over 1000 photos showing orbs with colors other than white. Such colors are inexplicable under assumptions that orbs are caused by natural factors, for the reasons discussed here.

The photo below shows how colorless are dust orbs, which never appear under common natural conditions because natural suspended dust particles are too small. In this case I created the dust orbs through the utterly unnatural technique of squeezing a dust-filled cloth in front of the camera. As we can see, the resulting dust orbs are colorless, featureless, dim, and with blurry edges. Contrast these with the orbs shown on this site, which are so often colorful, bright, and with sharp edges and face-like details or stripes or  outer rings.

Orange Orb With Strange Details

Photo date: September 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows an orange orb floating mysteriously above a building in New York City.

A closeup shows several features: a spot on the left, an outer ring, and and a mane-like aura.

Paranormal "Pearls" of the Blue Moving Orb

Photo date: September 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a blue moving orb I photographed at Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see the same "string of pearls" effect I have photographed 44 times before, as shown in this series of photos (and on the cover of my book Orbs: The Strangest Mystery, which you can see by scrolling down).  When this effect occurs, the photo captures multiple position states of an orb moving very fast, and the resulting image looks rather like some pearls on a string. Here we can see four of these "pearls."

moving orb
By now I have photographed several hundred speeding orbs at this location, as you can see in this very large photo series.

A Nice Ledge for a Mysterious Translucent Sphere to Rest

Photo date: September 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a blue orb I photographed at Grand Central Terminal in New York. The orb is perched at exactly the same spot where an orb twice previously appeared (as shown here and here). It's a great little spot to people-watch.

The photos below show the two previous times I photographed an orb on this corner ledge.

The Weird Sky

Photo date: September 23, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows some purple orbs and bright white orbs above a building in New York City. Note the "vertical bias" (something I frequently see, as shown in this series). We only see orbs above the buildings, which is not the random photo positions we would see if natural particles near the camera were the cause.

weird sky
The orb in the top right corner is a striped orb, as shown in this closeup.  This is the 140th striped orb I have photographed (see here for other examples).

The 38th and 39th Cases of Orbs Aligned to Flag Edges

I took the photos below at Grand Central Terminal in New York (on September 17, 2016 and September 23, 2016). They both show what I have photographed 37 times previously (as shown here):  mysterious orbs exactly aligning with the edge of a US flag.

Below are some of the previous photos I have taken of this strange phenomenon.

A Strange Symbol Inside Four Mysterious Orbs

The photos below show mysterious orbs I photographed over a period of three days (September 20, 2016 to September 21, 2016). All have a strange "inverted Y" symbol.

strange symbol
I seem to be witnessing a dramatic new phase of the orb phenomenon, one in which distinctive markings (possibly emblems or symbols) appear multiple times in different orbs. See here for about 8 other examples in which we see the same very distinctive markings repeated between 2 and 6 times in different orbs.

The inverted Y we see here resembles the lowercase version of the "lambda" letter in the Greek alphabet. Cosmologists use that symbol to represent the cosmological constant, one of the key determinants of cosmic order.

The photos taken here were only 4 of hundreds of photos I took during these days, and the symbol above appeared only in these 4 photos scattered among those hundreds. After each photo was taken, there were dozens of other photos that showed no such symbol.

Circular Conundrums

The photo below shows two blue orbs I photographed above a building in New York City.

Baffling Orbs With Curved Stripes

The photos below show two orbs I photographed indoors on September 20, 2016 and September 22, 2016. The bottom orb has a type of stripe called a shadow stripe, in which a thick stripe is flanked by two thin stripes. I have 18 previous times photographed orbs with these shadow stripes, as shown here.  I have many times previously photographed orbs with curved stripes like these, as shown here.

Large Orb Behind the Water Drop

Photo date: September 21, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I took the photo below while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark background. In the foreground we see a water drop that was about five inches from the camera. In the background we see a large orb with an apparent size of about five inches. This orb took up 36 percent of the original photo height. It's not a drop of water on my camera lens, because it didn't appear in the next photo. The orb cannot possibly be a speck of dust very near the camera, both because it is behind a water drop five inches from the camera, and also because of its large size. I estimate some particle would need to be 3000 microns to appear this large, but floating indoor dust particles are only about 10 microns.

Faint Orb Eyes?

Photo date: September 21, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows an orb I photographed in Grand Central Terminal in New York. If you look closely, you can rather seem to see two eye-like spots on the orb.

Sky Orb With a Bent Stripe

Photo date: September 21, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a sky orb with a bent stripe, a kind of angle shape that looks rather like the orbs shown in  these photos (also showing orbs with bent stripes).  This is the 133rd striped orb I have photographed in the air (see here for other examples).

Transparent Blue Orb on a Ledge

Photo date: September 21, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I took the photo below in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see two cases of aligning orbs, something I have shown in 151 photographic examples. The blue orb is aligning on a ledge, and the white orb is aligning on an architectural corner.
