The Orb and the Nuclear Engineers

On page 179 of her fascinating new book Phenomena: The Secret History of the US Government's Investigations Into Extrasensory Perception and Psychokinesis, journalist Annie Jacobsen recounts an amazing incident. She says that according to Kit Green  --a "contract monitor for the CIA" --  while psychic Uri Geller was being tested by scientists in 1975 tests funded by the US government, some "nuclear weapons engineers had reported seeing things they could not rationally explain." Green says these things were seen:

Items flying across the room. Lights flashing. A six-inch ball of light, rolling down the hallway. One scientist reported seeing a flying orb.

The Third "J" Letter I've Photographed in a Mysterious Orb

Photo date: March 30, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

Below is a photo I took showing a mysterious orb near a window in Grand Central Terminal.

letter in orb
Note that the stripe in this orb makes a "J" shape. As shown here, two days earlier I had photographed a mysterious orb that also had such a "J" stripe.  Below we see both of these orbs, along with a similar orb I photographed on June 22, 2016, as shown here.

Her Brush With the Paranormal?

Photo date: March 30, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a mysterious blue orb I photographed at Grand Central Terminal in New York, one of hundreds of transparent blue orbs I have photographed at this location. The orb seems to be making contact with the head of a woman. Was it reading her mind?

The "Love and Joy" Orb

Photo date: March 30, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

Just before taking this photo of a mysterious orb in Grand Central Terminal, I tried thinking to myself: "Love and joy." I was hoping that such a thought might increase the chance of a mysterious orb appearing. Sure enough, in the very next photo I got the bright orb shown below.

The Orb's Shadow Stripe

Photo date: March 28, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a mysterious orb I photographed at Grand Central Terminal in New York.  We see not just a stripe on the orb, but a particular type of stripe known as a shadow stripe, in which there are thin lines above and below the stripe, matching the shape of the stripe.  I have 28 times previously photographed mysterious orbs with these shadow stripes (as shown here).

Luminous Triangle of Weirdness

Photo date: March 28, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In the top of the first photo below, we see a strange triangular luminosity that made a fleeting appearance at Grand Central Terminal in New York. The photo to the right shows the same area a few seconds later.  We can seem to see three orbs within the triangular luminosity, or possibly they are position states of a single orb moving about in some burst of motion.

Carbonaro Effect Meets Precognition Effect?

There's a very funny TV show I've just started to watch on the TruTV channel. It's called The Carbonaro Effect.  It's a combination magic show and hidden camera show. Magician Michael Carbonaro acts like some ordinary person (such as a cashier), and interacts with unsuspecting people, who are exposed to startling magic effects they weren't expecting to see. For example, in one show Michael is a supermarket cashier checking out someone's milk carton, and he transforms the carton so that it has on its back a "Have You Seen This Person?" image that matches the face of the very person trying to buy the milk.

Something very strange happened last night. I was watching an episode of the show I hadn't seen before, and for a few seconds went into my kitchen, where I suddenly had an idea for something that would be funny in the context of the show.  My idea was: Michael could put a frozen fish into a microwave, run the microwave, and then remove a live fish. I then came back to watch some more of the episode. Within 60 seconds the show had exactly the same thing I had imagined: Michael putting a frozen fish into a microwave, running the microwave, and then removing a live fish.

I have no explanation for this coincidence, and I'm very certain I had never watched the episode before. 

Orb Turns the Blackness Into Green

Baffling Blue Balls Align to Beveled Borders

On the left and right sides of the huge windows at Grand Central Terminal, there are beveled borders. Below we see three mysterious blue orbs I photographed at this location, all of which are exactly aligned to the line of this beveled border. The photo on the left is from February 24, 2017, and the other two photos are from this post.
