Striped Sky Orbs

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

The photos below show two striped orbs I photographed in the sky.

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

The photo on the right is the 23rd photo I have taken showing a belt-like stripe stretching horizontally from the left side of an orb to the right side. This is one of 26 repeating patterns I have noticed in mysterious orbs I have photographed. The table below summarizes these patterns and gives link to previous photos I have taken showing the patterns.
