A Speeding Sky Orb

Photo date: January 29, 2018. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a speeding orb I photographed in the sky. We see the "string of pearls" effect I have 76 times previously photographed, in which we can seem to see multiple position states of a speeding orb. In this case the photo seems to have captured five different position states of the orb.

There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on this night.

Aqueous Anomalies

Photo date: January 28, 2018. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I took the photos below while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark background. In each of the four photos we see orbs that have on their right side strange dark marks or rectangular holes.

Orb Eyes?

Photo date: January 28, 2018. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a mysterious orb I photographed indoors in front of a TV set that was turned off. We see two dark marks that resemble eyes.

At almost the same time I photographed the mysterious orange orb shown below.

Also at about the same time I photographed the mysterious yellow orb shown below:

A Striped Sky Orb

Photo date: January 24, 2018. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a striped orb I photographed near the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York.  It is one of 400+ mysterious striped orbs I have photographed, as you can see here.

There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on this night.

 I have six previous times photographed mysterious orbs with a vertical stripe looking like this one. These orbs are shown below.

Faint Faces?

The photos below show two mysterious orbs I photographed on January 18, 2018 and January 23, 2018.  We see  two bright orbs that somewhat seem to have faint face-like details.

Confounding Orb Rings

Photo date: January 19, 2018. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I took the photo below while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark background. We see the strange objects I call orb rings.

I have 62 times photographed such orb rings, as you can see here.  This anomaly is only one of several inexplicable anomalies that I occasionally get when photographing water drops. I have 130 posts showing the mysterious things I call orb crescents. I have 222 posts showing the mysterious things I call orb veils. I have 347 posts showing like face-like details appearing while I photographed water drops. See my posts labeled “striped orb near water” to see 60 posts showing hundreds of orbs with inexplicable stripes.

A Striped Sky Orb

Photo date: January 18, 2018. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a mysterious orb I photographed in the sky. It is one of more than 400 mysterious striped orbs I have photographed.

This orb is the 26th time I have photographed a mysterious orb with a straight stripe in one of its corners.  This repeating pattern is one of 25 repeating patterns I have observed in mysterious orbs I have photographed. The visual below shows examples of each of these patterns, and how many occurrences of the patterns I have photographed.  You can see many examples of each of these patterns by looking at this post.

Orb Yiddish?

Photo date: January 12, 2018. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a mysterious orb I photographed indoors. Inside the orb we can seem to see the letters "o" and "y."  It reminds me of the Yiddish expression "oy vey."   See here for two other photos I took showing a mysterious orb with a letter "Y" inside it.  I also have got 9 times a mysterious orb with an upside-down "Y," as you can see at the beginning of this post.

An Astonishing Physical Appearance

Many people report finding coins that rather seem to have appeared from out of nowhere. If you do a Google search for “finding dimes” or “finding coins” you can find many web sites that refer to this phenomenon.

I have previously reported one very dramatic case of a coin that seemed to appear from out of nowhere – a coin that I saw rolling on the floor from behind me, rolling up along the space just to the right of me. This happened while I was alone in my apartment. A case like that is very rare. But there is a type of anomalous case that I experience very frequently.

What I have experienced more than fifty times is something like this:

1. I will notice a coin that exists in a spot that I had repeatedly observed or walked past earlier in the day, without noticing any coin in such a spot.
2. I will then wonder how it is that the coin could have been in that spot without me noticing it during the previous times that I walked past that spot or observed that spot earlier in the day.

To give a typical example that recently happened, there is a laundromat I go to where I have had many anomalous-seeming experiences involving finding coins. Given my previous experiences at this spot, any noticeable coin on the floor will attract my attention. The last time I went there I leaned against a wall waiting for my clothes to dry. After leaning against the wall for about 10 minutes, I looked down and suddenly saw a coin about twelve inches in front of where I was standing. I then ask myself: how could I possibly have failed to notice that coin during the 10 minutes I was previously standing there?

Events such as that have happened to me at least fifty times. One morning I woke up and found a coin on top of my stomach. An equally astonishing incident occurred on June 9, 2016.

On that day I half-watched television throughout the day, while sitting on my couch facing the television, and using my laptop computer while sitting on the couch. I then left my New York City apartment, returning at 11:10 PM. When I returned there was a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup right in front of the television set, on the floor, about 12 inches directly in front of the set. It was the only thing in an empty area of about 5 feet by 5 feet, an empty area directly in front of the television.

I am 100% certain that I would have noticed such a piece of candy if it had been there right in front of the TV during the day during the hours in which I was half-watching television. Moreover, on this date I had not bought or eaten a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in more than a year. So how did this piece of candy get there? I asked my wife, and she had no idea. She never eats candy. According to the note I made immediately of this incident, both of my daughters were away from New York City on this night. So the appearance of this piece of candy was inexplicable.

I do remember that the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup was one of the two favorite snacks of my late mother. Was this some type of sign from the Great Beyond?

People who find coins that seem to appear inexplicably have different opinions about their origin. Some think that they come from spirits of the dead. Others think that they come from angels. At seances observers will often report objects that seem to appear from out of nowhere. In the parapsychology literature such objects are called apports. In a paper published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration, an author claimed to have witnessed seeing more than a hundred inexplicable apports, including many small jewels.

Such apports might appear when a kind of wormhole opens up between our dimension and some other dimension. A scientist may say that such a thing cannot happen, but the same scientist may later tell us it is quite possible that someone might be able to travel instantly from one solar system to another, by using a spacetime wormhole, as they do in the Star Wars movies. If the second thing is possible, there is no reason why the first thing should be impossible.

The Sixth Time I've Seen This "Orb Gag"

Photo date: January 5, 2018. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The top left of the photo below shows a mysterious blue orb I photographed in Grand Central Terminal. Note the "edge of the ledge" positioning. It's as if the orb is pulling a comic shtick -- a "look out below, I'm going to fall" gag.

Below are 4 other photos I took in which orbs look as if they are doing the same comic shtick.

Below is still another time in which we see an orb looking as if it is about to fall from the edge of a ledge:

A shadow stripe is a stripe consisting of a thick line and one or more thin lines parallel to the thick line. An example is below.

The photo below shows a mysterious orb I photographed, one of 36 mysterious orbs I have photographed with a shadow stripe, as you can see here.

This orb is one of 21 mysterious orbs I have photographed with a belt-like horizontal stripe. You can see the other examples here.
