"Belts" of the Baffling Balls

Below we see three mysterious orbs I photographed on April 8, 2017 and April 9, 2017. All three have a belt-like horizontal stripe.

I have by now photographed 14 mysterious orbs with a belt-like horizontal band.  This is one of 18 recurring patterns I have classified in mysterious orbs I have photographed. The grid below summarizes these patterns and how many times I have photographed each pattern. You can conveniently see almost all of the examples in this blog post.
