Lucky 11?

Photo date: February 27, 2018. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

Photo date: February 26, 2018. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a mysterious blue orb I photographed at Grand Central Terminal in New York. Look to the left of the orb, and it looks rather as if light from the orb is reflecting on a marble surface.

Orb Rings

The grid below shows various photos I have taken of the strange things I call orb rings. All of the photos were taken while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. I have no idea why these ring-like structures appear, and their appearance while photographing water drops seems highly anomalous.  See here for a similar grid.

The photos below show five speeding orbs I photographed at Grand Central Terminal in New York. The one on the top right was on the rightmost edge of the photo, and I'm sure it was not my camera strap, which was wrapped around my wrist.  These are some of the 600+ speeding orbs I have photographed.

"Belt" of the Baffling Ball

Photo date: February 14, 2018. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a mysterious orb I photographed in the sky. Like 21 other mysterious orbs I have photographed, this orb has a belt-like horizontal stripe (along with a little X inside it).

Orbs with horizontal stripes near their center are one of 25 recurring patterns 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.

A New Orb Video

T. Gorman has a new 11-minute video on Youtube.com, compiling orb photos she has taken.  The video shows orbs in many colors. At 4:05 in the video,  she has an example of a moving orb showing the "string of pearls" effect I have repeatedly photographed, in which we seem to see multiple position states of a speeding orb.  At 5:00 in the video, we start to see many examples of the phenomenon I call ecto-mist, but which are also called  "lightwaves."   You can see the video here.

Station Swarm

Photo date: February 14, 2018. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo shows a group of mysterious orbs I photographed in Grand Central Terminal in New York. The one at the top right appears to be moving fast.

I get at this place a high amount of what I call "vertical bias" in the positioning of orbs. The orbs do not at all appear randomly scattered across the picture area. Instead,  the photos show 90% of the orbs in the upper part of the photo area, with very few in the lower part of the photo area.  See here for 49 examples of this type of "vertical bias."

If you do a Google image search for "transparent orb," you'll see results dominated by commercial products. But if you do a you do a Google image search for "translucent orb," you should see quite a few of my photos (that is if you do the search on a PC, and get 200+ results on a page; you may get much fewer on a tablet).  A Google image search for "speeding orb" on a PC will show many of my photos.

The Tablet's Spooky Behavior

Since last August I have witnessed an extremely strange thing happening ten different times. It always happens like this:

(1) While my Samsung tablet device is turned off, and leaning against a wall recharging, the flashlight at the back of the tablet will turn on all by itself (something you think would be impossible, since the tablet is turned off). This will occur hours after I plugged in the tablet to recharge.
(2) A few seconds after I pull out the recharging chord, the flashlight turns off.
(3) I swipe my finger against the tablet, seeing nothing on the screen, verifying that the tablet is really turned off.
(4) I then turn on the tablet, and it starts up normally.

I have used the Samsung tablet every day for more than a year, but the event described above has only happened on these days:

1/30/18
10/31/17
10/23/17
10/06/17
9/30/17
9/7/17
9/6/17
9/1/17
8/30/17
8/7/17


You can see a video showing one of these cases here. Searching on the Internet, I am unable to find any case of someone who has experienced something similar.  There was never any type of physical interaction that might have caused these cases; in each case, the tablet was more than two meters away from me when the flashlight turned on.

The flashlight at the back of the tablet is software-driven, and cannot be turned on by a button press. I know of no way to turn on the flashlight at the back of the tablet when the tablet is turned off. 

Blazing Balls

Below we see a few of the mysterious orbs I photographed over the past two months, each showing some sign of speed.
