Baffling Backslash Balls

The photo below shows two mysterious orbs that I photographed in the sky on March 16, 2017 and March 17, 2017. Both have a diagonal stripe that resembles a backslash.

There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on either of these nights.
 
This is the sixth time I have photographed a mysterious orb with this type of backslash stripe. Conversely, I have 18 times photographed mysterious orbs with a diagonal stripe in the opposite direction (orbs with a stripe that makes a slash rather than a backslash).

Below is my revised table of repeating patterns in mysterious orbs (most of the examples referred to below can be conveniently seen in this post).
