An Astonishing Repetition
Photo date: May 19, 2018. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photos below were taken about a minute apart. In the first we see an orb with a very distinctive zig-zag line, and in the second we see an orb with the same zig-zag line. In both photos we also see a nearby orb with a horizontal stripe. There were three photos taken between these two photos that showed no such thing, and one of the photos showed an empty, featureless sky. The strange zig-zag line did not appear in any more of 25 additional photos I took with the same camera that night.
Unlike 99% of the photos on this site, which are taken under dry weather conditions with no fog, mist, or rain, these photos were taken when there was some fog. The fog can explain the circular shapes, but not the bizarre repetition of the zig-zag line.

The 4th and 5th Sky X's
Photo date: May 19, 2018. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
Below is an orb with a letter X inside it, an orb I photographed in the night sky.
Below is another orb I photographed in the night sky, one also having an X inside it.
These were the only photos of many I took last night that showed such X shapes. There was some fog on this night, which may explain the circular shapes, but does not at all explain the X marks inside them. 99% of the orb photos on this site are taken in dry air with no fog, mist, rain or precipitation.
These photos remind me of the photo below I took on April 25, 2018, as reported here:
These photos also remind me of the photo below I took on March 29, 2018, as reported here:
Strangely, in five different cases we see an X letter, and also a particular type of X letter -- an X that is taller and less wide than a typical X.
See here for other cases of repeating patterns in mysterious orbs.

I took the photo below while photographing nothing but pure, clean water falling against a dark background. We see some orbs with strange oval holes that you can see through.

You Can See Through the Orb Holes

I took the photo below while photographing nothing but pure, clean water falling against a dark background. We see various orbs with oval holes. You can look right through three of the holes, seeing underlying details. If you try producing such an effect with a water drop, using a needle to try to make a hole, you will have no luck at all.

Evening Ectomist?
Photo date: May 14, 2018. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
I took the photo below at the edge of an empty park, on a night in which the temperature was 59 degrees. There was certainly no smoke nearby. My camera was more than a foot from my mouth. I was not breathing outward in any unusual way. I've photographed at night many times when it was about 60 degrees, and never got something like this before at such a temperature.
There was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation on this night.

More common than these regular letter Y's in mysterious orbs are inverted Y's, which I have photographed 10 times, as shown here.
