Translucent Orbs Align to the Christmas Wreaths

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

I have published more than 40 photos showing mysterious orbs aligned to the edge of the big flag in Grand Central Terminal.  Now that some Christmas wreaths have been installed in the station, it looks like the orbs are playing a new alignment game, one we might call "align to the Christmas wreaths."

Tree Symbol in the Orb?

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

The mysterious orb I photographed below seems rather to have a symbol of a tree inside it. We can seem to see the trunk of the tree, and the tree top in the top right corner.

Night of the Arch Orbs

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

Below we see four photos I took of Grand Central Terminal in New York. In each we see a mysterious blue orb floating in front of the top of one of the big arches in the station.

There was even a fifth "arch orb" I photographed on this night, the one below:

The Blue Orb Floated Close to His Heart

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

In the photo below, we see a mysterious bright blue orb that rather seems to be floating close to  a man's heart.  Was this a sign of spiritual support?

Orbs Over Turkey

The interesting "Mysterious Universe" site (www.mysteriousuniverse.org) is reporting today that there have in recent days been many visual reports of mysterious orbs in the skies over the nation of Turkey.  The site says the following:

The photographs generally show a cluster of four or five orbs (although some show up to twice that many) or lights, usually in the shape of a triangle or wedge. The photographs show the orbs in a cluster to be the same size, although one alleged to have been taken on the same night shows a large light orbited by smaller ones.

Such reports should come as no surprise, as the National UFO Reporting Center has logged 12,000 reports of visible orbs seen in the past 3 years, as I discussed in this post.

Fast Orbs in the Station

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

The photos below show two orbs I photographed in Grand Central Terminal, one blue and one pink. Both seemed to be moving fast.

Segregation of the Sky Orbs?

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

In the photo at left, we see two white orbs on the left, and two purple orbs on the right. Do they like to "stick with their own kind," like humans? The orange object on the right wasn't the moon, for the night was nearly moonless.

There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on this night. The air quality listed on airnow.gov was "good." The pollen count listed on www.pollen.com was "low," with a level of 0.1.

Orb on a Near-Moonless Night

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

They had some unusual lighting on this Rockefeller Center building, which doesn't normally look blue. The peach-colored orb provided something else that was unusual.

There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on this night. The air quality listed on airnow.gov was "good." The pollen count listed on www.pollen.com was "low," with a level of 0.1.

She Saw Orbs After Her Neighbor Died

The following remarkable account regarding orbs comes to us from Jo Mooy:

Though I’ve seen Orbs in my photographs since 2003; I’ve also seen Orbs without a camera and witnessed them “powering up” when spoken to.  The most remarkable occurrence was two days after the death of my neighbor.  The lights in my house began to flicker on and off.  When I ventured into the living room I saw two very large Orbs near the ceiling. Realizing Kathy had just passed I asked, “Is that you, Kathy?”  At that moment, one of the Orbs powered up brightly and stayed that way for about ten seconds.  Knowing Kathy wanted to be with her mother who had previously passed over, I asked “Is that your mother with you?”  And the second Orb powered up.  Eventually, they both faded from view, but not before being documented by two people in the house.

Below is a speeding orb I photographed in the sky on November 26, 2016. We see a prominent pink aura.

There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on this night. The air quality listed on airnow.gov was "good," with a rating of 33. The pollen count listed on www.pollen.com was "low," with a level of 0.1.

Orbs During Near-Death Experiences?

A web site on near-death experiences says, "Many near-death accounts describe encounters with orbs." The page gives quite a few examples. 

In his latest post Michael Prescott reviews a book on near-death experiences entitled "Near Death in the ICU." He says, "One common thread involves seeing a spiritual being (or more than one) in the form of a glowing point of light or a luminous orb."  He quotes a passage from the book discussing one person's near-death experience:

[Marlene] soon became distracted by the presence of a soft blue orb of light that came into view on the opposite side of the room. ... While the orb was slowly approaching, she noticed that the voices below [in the hospital] became thinner and more distant while the visual scene grew ever smaller and more remote, as if she were looking through the wrong end of a telescope. As the orb, about the size of a beach ball, came to rest in front of her, she felt overwhelmed with emotion and intense feelings of peace, love and complete safety.

I can't say I have ever had such a experience, but I have photographed more than 750 blue orbs, most of them at Grand Central Terminal. Below is another one I photographed on November 26, 2016.

Green Edge of the Blue Orb

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

The photo below shows an unusual orb I photographed near a window in Grand Central Terminal. The blue orb has a weird green edge that is flat.

Nuzzling Luminosities?

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

With a photo such as this (taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York), it's hard to tell whether we are seeing two position states of a single mysterious orb moving fast, or two orbs nuzzling together.

Another "String of Pearls" Moving Orb

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

The photo below shows a speeding orb I photographed indoors. We see the "string of pearls" effect I have photographed 49 times before, in which the camera has captured multiple position states of an object speeding very fast.

Still More Speeding Orbs

The photo poster below is a composite of 40 orb photos previously published on this site.  You can find all of the original photos by looking at my posts labeled "speeding air orb" between April  1, 2016 and November 26, 2016.  These photos all show orbs that appear to be moving very fast.  Open the photo in a separate browser tab to see the poster at its full resolution.

No flying insects were observed by me during any of the days when these photos were taken.  Some of the photos show undulating or sharp-turn motion of a type that neither insects nor birds nor dust particles ever make.

If you look at the original photos, you will see that each of the anomalies was photographed well away from the edge of the photo. Given this fact and the fact that I have short hair, we cannot explain any of these photos as being a stray hair from the photographer, nor can any be explained as a photo of a camera strap.

We also cannot explain these orbs as dust, as all of them seem to be showing very rapid motion. Indoor dust particles move at only about 2 miles per hour, and the outdoor wind speed was never more than 20 miles an hour when any of these photos were taken.  But we see here objects that seem to be moving very fast, many times faster than 20 miles an hour.  The photos were taken with cameras that have an effective shutter speed of about 1/1000 of a second (that's for a flash photo, and all of these are flash photos).  All of the original photos were taken when the camera was held steady (with nothing other than the orb appearing to show motion).  Under such conditions, an object must be moving very fast to appear like the items in the photos above.

None of the photos showing orbs with "comet tails" can be explained as raindrops, as none of the outdoor photos were taken when there was any fog, mist, rain, or precipitation.

This is the fifth poster like this I have published. Click here to see the "Speeding Orbs #4" poster showing 40 speeding orbs.  Click here to see the "Speeding Orbs #3" poster showing 48 speeding orbs.  Click here to see the "Speeding Orbs #2" poster showing 49 speeding orbs.  Click here to see the "Speeding Orbs #1" poster showing 37 speeding orbs. Each of these shows a separate set of speeding orbs.

Green Orb Upstages the Wreath

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

They have already installed quite a few Christmas wreaths at Grand Central Terminal. And as the photo below shows, there was a fleeting addition to the decorations, in the form of a mysterious green orb.

Weird Window Wonders

I took the photos below on November 26, 2016 and November 23, 2016. Both show a mysterious blue orb that made a fleeting appearance atop an ornamental window at Grand Central Terminal in New York.

Andrea's Orb Veils

I discovered today that the Facebook page of Andrea Corsick has many astonishingly beautiful and colorful photos of the strange objects I call orb veils.  Her photos can be accessed here (you will have to login to Facebook first).  I've added her site to my list of 38 sites or pages showing orb photos and other paranormal photos, which you can access here.

I've been photographing these strange orb veil objects for nearly two years, and it's remarkable to see how similar some of Andrea's photos are to mine, such as the polygons with lots of spiky edges, and the frequent occurrence of orange colors.  In this photo, for example, she shows veil-like objects with circular spots and stripe features just like those I have photographed myself (for example, in this subset). She also has some examples of striped orbs (for example, here) -- something I get in great abundance.

Another photographer on Facebook (Diana Davatgar) has a photo of a spiky-edged orb veil you can see here. 

The Green Part of the Purple Sky Orb

Photo date: November 24, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a purple sky orb I photographed. Inside it there is a strange green area, along with a small bright spot.  I have photographed green-purple sky orbs seven other times, as you can see here.

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

Baffling Blue Ball

Photo date: April 10, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The previously unpublished photo below (excavated from my large photographic backlog) shows a blue orb in Grand Central Terminal in New York.

The Distant Orbs Were Like Perching Birds

I took the photos below on July 13, 2016 and October 15, 2016. In both we see orbs that seem to be partially behind distant architectural features. The orb on the left seems to be partially behinds some lights, and the orb on the right seems to be partially behind a protruding detail of an ornamental window.

An Indoor Yellow Orb

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

The photo below shows a mysterious yellow orb I photographed indoors. I often get yellow orbs in my night photos, but rarely get this color indoors. 

Azure Arc of the Blue Speeding Orb

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

The photo below shows a blue orb I photographed at Grand Central Terminal in New York. The orb is moving very fast in an arc-shaped motion.

Yet Another Mysterious Flag-Sitting Orb

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

The photo below shows a white orb aligned to the edge of the US flag in Grand Central Terminal. This is the 45th mysterious orb I have photographed exactly aligning to the edge of a US flag.  See here for the other 44 photos.
 

Sky Friends?

Photo date: November 24, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a rather chummy-looking pair of sky orbs above a street in New York City.

There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on this night. The air quality listed on airnow.gov was "good." The pollen count listed on www.pollen.com was low, with a level of 0.1.

A Striped Speeding Pink Orb

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

The photo below shows a striped pink orb that seems to be moving very fast. It appeared on the ceiling of Grand Central Terminal in New York.

Stairway Spirit?

Photo date: December 30, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The previously unpublished photo below shows a blue orb apparently on a stairway edge at Grand Central Terminal in New York.

They Haunt This Light Row

Below are photos I took at Grand Central Terminal on October 24, 2016 and November 18, 21, and 23 of 2016.  In each we see a blue orb near a row of lights at the station. See here for 32 other photos of orbs hanging out atop this row of lights.

Lavender Luminosities

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

The photos below show two mysterious orbs that were a lavender shade of purple.

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

The 4 Sharp Turns of the Speeding Orb

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

Below is one of the most astonishing photos I have taken of a speeding orb. The orb has made 4 sharp turns, three of which are right-angle turns. Motion like this is impossible for any natural thing that we know of, whether it be dust, birds, or insects. What we see also cannot possibly be a floating hair, as there are too many right-angles.  You can photograph 1000 falling hairs, and none will ever look like this.

There were no insects observed when the photo was taken. The path of motion had an apparent length of about 1 meter.

Click here to see three videos I have made showing hundreds of speeding orbs.

A Striped Sky Orb

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

The photo below shows a striped orb I photographed above the Met Life building in New York. This is the 183rd striped orb I have photographed in dry air. Many of my previous photos of striped orbs (shown here) show stripes like this, in which the stripe stretches from one side of the orb to the other.

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

Spirit Above the Sign?

Photo date: November 18, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In the photo below we see a mysterious peach-colored orb I photographed above the Met Life building in New York. It was not the moon, and did not appear in the next photo from this angle.

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

One Orb Had Speed, the Other a Spot

Photo date: November 22, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In the photo below we see a mysterious blue orb that seems to be moving fast. To its right is a white orb with an eye-like feature.

The Speeding Orb's "String of Pearls"

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

The photo below shows what seems to be a speeding blue orb in front of a stairway at Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see the "string of pearls" effect I have photographed 47 times before, in which the camera seems to have captured multiple position states of an object moving much faster than a pitcher's fastball.

Puzzling Pendulous Patriotism?

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

The photo below shows a mysterious orb I photographed in Grand Central Terminal in New York. It's one of countless orbs I have photographed either in front of the flag, or aligned to one of its edges.

Orb With a Pink Translucent "Tail"

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

The photo below shows two orbs in front of the top of the Met Life building in New York. We can see right through the "tail" of the orb on the right.

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

Corner Curiosity

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

The photo below shows an orb that rather seems to have positioned itself on one of the top corners of a building.  This is the 16th photo I have showing an orb on a roof (see here for other examples).

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

Another "Inverted V" Orb

Photo date: November 18, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a mysterious orb I photographed in midtown Manhattan.

This is the third time I have photographed an orb with this inverted V stripe. Below are two other examples, reported here.

Below is my revised table listing recurring patterns I have photographed in mysterious orbs.

Fiery "Fuzz" of the Sky Orb

Photo date: October 20, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows an orb I photographed in the sky. Notice the strange orange and red "fuzz" around the edges of the orb.

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

Spooky Surveillance?

Photo date: November 18, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a peach-colored orb that rather seems to be making a close inspection of a building in New York City.

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

The Stonehenge Orb

Photo date: November 20, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I was watching the grand old movie Knights of the Round Table, and noticed that one scene was set at Stonehenge. I wondered: might the image of this mystical ancient spot make an orb more likely to appear? Sure enough, an orb showed up when I took a photo.

Mysterious Orange Orb Perches Likes a Bird on a Branch

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

The photo below shows a mysterious orange orb I photographed last night. If I lived in Florida, I might identify this as a large orange growing on a tree. But there are no outdoor citrus fruit trees in New York City.

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

Halloween Orbs

Photo date: October 31, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

Below are two mysterious orbs I photographed on Halloween. There wasn't much of a spike in orb activity on this Halloween, although I did get on this Halloween the incredibly spooky occurrence of my toilet inexplicably flushing twice while no one was in the bathroom (something that has not occurred in November).

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

Animal Face in the Sky Orb?

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

The photo below shows a rather large orb I photographed near a building in New York City.

Below is a closeup.  To me it looks a little like a dog or fox head, with a dark snout tip at the end, and a pointy ear on the right. But I'll admit it's not clear enough to identify an image with any confidence.

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

Haunted Window?

Photo date: November 18, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photos below show the same ticket window or information window at a corner location at Grand Central Terminal in New York. In each photo we see a mysterious orb. Were they waiting for the little window to open?

Orange Sky Orb Above St. Patrick's Cathedral

Photo date: November 18, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a mysterious orange orb that I photographed above St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York.  It's one of more than 100 mysterious orange orbs I have photographed, as shown here.

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

Green Orb Video

There is an interesting video on the "UFO Sightings Daily" website. A witness was making a video of the moon, and was surprised to see a green orb show up, with an apparent size of about the moon. The orb appears at the 51 second mark in the video.

The 5th Sky Orb I've Photographed With This Type of Diagonal Stripe

Photo date: November 18, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a striped orb I photographed to the right of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York.  There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on this night.

I have four times previously photographed a sky orb that looks like this. Here are some previous photos, as described here, here and here).

Below is my revised table listing recurring motifs I have photographed in mysterious orbs. Besides the 5 orbs shown above (with a diagonal stripe not stretching the full length of the orb), I have also photographed 6 other mysterious orbs with a diagonal stripe stretching the full length of the orb (see below for the link).

Paranormal Pair-Up?

Photo date: November 18, 2016.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows two orbs I photographed above a building in New York City.  Were they nuzzling each other?

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