The 15th Mysterious Orb With a Diagonal Slash

 Photo date: March 5, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a mysterious orb I photographed on a dry night with no fog, mist, rain or precipitation.

This is the 15th time I've photographed a mysterious orb with such a slash. Below are 10 of the other photos.

Here are 4 others:

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).
