Striped and Spooky

Photo date: March 13, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In the top right of the photo below is a mysterious blue striped orb that I photographed in Grand Central Terminal in New York.

 This is the 16th time I have photographed a mysterious orb with a diagonal slash looking like the diagonal slash in this orb. See here for 15 other examples.

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).

Inverted Y 7 Rather like the lower case lambda character, part of the Greek alphabet http://orbpro.blogspot.com/2016/11/the-seventh-photo-ive-taken-of.html
Umbilical cord ( AKA "cul-de-sac") 10 Resembles an umbilical cord with a curved loop. Is it a symbol of motherhood?
