Striped Enigma

Photo date:  June 21, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a striped orb I photographed indoors.

This is the 14th time I have photographed a mysterious orb with a straight stripe in one corner or side of the orb. This is one of 20 recurring patterns of mysterious orbs that I have classified. The table below lists each type, and the number of occurrences of each type.
