Why Mysterious Orbs Aren't Like Snowflakes

Photo date: April 3, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below (taken on a dry night) shows the 22nd  mysterious orb I have photographed with a diagonal stripe stretching from a top edge of the orb to a bottom edge of the orb.  See here for the 21 other examples.

So mysterious orbs are not like snowflakes, which never repeat their patterns. Mysterious orbs, on the other hand, keep repeating patterns over and over again. You can see all the patterns in this post.

The visual below summarizes the repeating patterns I have photographed in mysterious orbs.
