Mysterious Blue Indoor Orbs: A Retrospective (Part 11)

Below is Part 11 of a retrospective showing some of the better photos I have taken indoors of mysterious blue orbs photographed indoors. 

The photo below shows a transparent blue orb I photographed in Grand Central Terminal in New York.

  In my photos below, we see two mysterious orbs that are both aligning to lines.  One aligns to the edge of a window, and the other aligns to the beveled edge line to the right of the window.

The photos below both show mysterious orbs I photographed in front of the same spot near the central information desk at Grand Central Terminal in New York.

Below we see two mysterious orbs I photographed in Grand Central Terminal in New York (both of these were cropped from the same photo). 

The photo below shows a mysterious blue orb or blue orbs I photographed near a flag in Grand Central Terminal. It could be seven different position states of a single blue orb, as we might see if the orb was moving both down and sideways at the same time. 

In my photo below we see a mysterious blue orb that rather seems to have perched on a woman's shoulder.

A Mysterious "Snowfall Selectivity"

 After waking up this morning, I went upstairs and looked out the front window of the house where I live, seeing a puzzling sight. It had begun snowing, and I could see snow in the front walkways of both of my neighbors. But (except for a single rectangle about a meter wide) there was basically no snow in either the front walkway of the house where I live, nor in the sidewalk in front of the house (outside the fence). Here is what it looked like from the front door. Notice there is snow on the front walkway of my neighbor to the left, but none on my walkway. 

I asked my wife and one of my daughters whether they shoveled the front walkway, and they said they had not. I struggled to come up with a hypothesis to explain the anomaly. Remembering that our neighbor on the right side is a very nice man, I suggested to them the idea that maybe he had shoveled our front walkway and also the sidewalk in front of the house. This seemed like a farfetched idea, because I noticed that this neighbor's front walkway looked like no one had shoveled it. It seemed hard to believe that the neighbor would shovel both our front pathway and the front sidewalk, without doing any such work for his own front pathway and front sidewalk. 

Investigating further, I found another strange anomaly. In the area just in front of the house where I live, there was a single concrete rectangle that had snow; but otherwise the area was free of snow. The effect is shown below:

There is no reason why anyone would have shoveled the area in the bottom half of the photo above, as you can enter and exit the house without going through such an area. 

We see a "rectangle of precipitation" effect that is not explained by any structural feature of the house. There is nothing but open air above the area shown in the photo above, nothing that could explain why only one of the concrete rectangles is covered in snow. 

The effect reminds me of what I have repeatedly seen and photographed, with the photos appearing in my post "When Raindrops Fall Non-Randomly: A Marvel of 'Precipitation Selectivity'" which you can read here.  For example, On December 7, 2023 the effect appeared as below, during light snowfall. The precipitation seemed to wet only one of the concrete rectangles of the back lot. 

The effect that I have observed very many times in the back lot (and which I have photographically documented in the post above)  is that when it first starts to rain, at first only one of the concrete rectangles in the backyard will become wet, with all of the other rectangles remaining dry. Eventually when the rain picks up, the whole back lot will be wet. There are no structural features that explain this, and the whole area shown in the photo above is open to falling raindrops. 

Part of the reason I take seriously the idea that water (or precipitation that is mainly water) may behave in a non-random manner (with a kind of selectivity) is that over the course of several years (while photographing water drops falling in front of me) I photographically documented an extremely strong effect of falling water drops behaving in a dramatically non-random manner, with very noticeable patterns arising and often persisting for hundreds of consecutive photos. For 700+ posts of mine documenting this effect, see my series of posts here, while continuing to press "Older Posts" at the bottom.

A Huge Mysterious Striped Blue Orb in Outer Space?

 While reading the science news this morning (as I do every day) I saw a BBC article entitled "Mysterious 'iron bar' discovery in space may reveal Earth's future."  We see a deep space picture of what looks like a giant striped blue orb, one with a red stripe, and a green gaseous ring around the blue part. The structure is larger than the size of our solar system. 

As someone who has been avidly following astronomy news for much longer than half a century, I have a bit of skepticism about this story. The structure photographed is the Ring Nebula. I have been seeing photos of the Ring Nebula for most of my life, and they never showed a noticeable stripe-like structure in its center. Apparently the authors of the scientific paper have done some type of special processing to yield a red stripe in the middle of the blue circular center of the Ring Nebula. They claim that there's lot of iron in the stripe. We know what causes objects like the Ring Nebula (supernova explosions), but do not understand why any stripe or bar shape would arise in such an object. 

I have a doubt or two about the analysis of the authors of this paper, but I do know one thing. I have personally photographed more than 65 mysterious striped blue orbs, which you can see using the link here, and continuing to press Older Posts at the bottom.

Orange Orb Shows Up for the Fairy Magic Scene

 Photo date: January 9, 2026. Photographer: Mark Mahin. 

I was watching the Netflix fantasy series "Fate: The Winx Saga," a series about fairies with magical powers. A scene showed one of the fairies doing some magic with her hands, as blue energy pulsed between them. I thought it was a good moment to take a snap. The picture showed the mysterious orange orb in the top right of the photo below.

This is the first orb photo I have published with my new Kodak Pixpro FZ55 camera. It seems to be a good camera for orb photography, for anyone with a PC with a USB port. The inexpensive camera lacks any interface for wi-fi connection, so you need to transfer photos using the same USB port cable you use for recharging the camera. That works fine if you have a PC with a USB port. 

I have now on this site published orb photos taken with many different types of cameras:

• Olympus FE-100 camera (CCD sensor)
•  Sony DSC-W830 camera (CCD sensor)
•  Sony Alpha a5000 (CMOS sensor)
•  Sony Alpha a6000 (CMOS sensor)
•  Sony Alpha a6100 (CMOS sensor)
•  Sony Alpha a6400 camera (CMOS sensor)
•  Nikon Coolpix L28 (CCD sensor)
•  Kodak Pixpro FZ55 camera (CCD sensor)

I don't always use a tag to identify the camera type. But my very many posts with a tag of "full spectrum camera" were all taken with the Nikon Coolpix L28; and my photos with tags such as "A6000 photo" or "A6100 photo" were taken with the corresponding Sony camera type listed above. Most of my photos first published in the past few years (outside of retrospective series) were taken with the Sony DSC-W830, a camera I have had to retire after quite a few years of good service.

Orbs Often Mentioned in Year 2025 UFO Review

 On the site of the Center for UFO Studies, there is a page entitled "2025, The Year in Review."  The page has a chronological account of UFO reports from last year. Below are all the references to orbs and spheres:

• "January 21 — 5:00 a.m. A witness near Hopwood, Pennsylvania, notices a light outside his window that is coming from three spherical objects, each the size of a basketball, sitting in his yard. They immediately come together to form a single white light that is much brighter and shoots up into the sky after a few seconds. (Stan Gordon, 'Three Glowing Orbs on the Ground Rise Straight Up into the Sky in Pennsylvania,' Stan Gordon’s UFO Anomalies Zone, February 1, 2025)."
• "June 12 — Former AARO Deputy Director Timothy Phillips states in an interview with the New York Post that the agency is puzzled by fiery orbs and black, triangular-shaped UFOs. These cases include “unusual flight characteristics and performance anomalies that we don’t understand,” ('Bombshell: Pentagon Created Fake UFO Evidence, Promoted False Alien Stories,' New York Post YouTube channel, June 12, 2025; Christopher Sharp, 'Former Pentagon Investigator Warns of UFOs with Characteristics ‘We Could Not Duplicate Today,' Liberation Times, June 12, 2025)."
• Giving a date of July 2, the article has a link to the very striking video here, which shows a large pulsating orb on the horizon. 
• There's a reference to the post “Daylight Luminous Orb Approaches Witness and Makes Physical Contact in Pennsylvania,” Stan Gordon’s UFO Anomalies Zone, July 27, 2025). We have this description: "July 17 — 2:30–3:00 p.m. A woman is walking to her backyard garden near Monaca, Pennsylvania, when she sees a glowing white sphere about the size of a basketball about 5 feet above her sidewalk and blocking her way. It begins moving slowly toward her, stopping about 2 inches away. Then it moves closer and touches her. It seems to be metallic, but not stiff, and a bit cold. When it begins to push, she backs away, stumbles, and falls backward on the ground. The sphere hovers above her for a couple seconds, then vanishes."
• September 9: "Nuccetelli reports several encounters with UAPs at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California between 2003 and 2005. He describes incidents involving large, bright objects over critical defense areas, such as the glowing red square that hovered above the base on October 14, 2003, as well as appearances of triangular objects and light orbs that move in an unusual fashion and appear solid. Nuccetelli also shares a personal experience in his backyard, when a large blue-white orb rapidly changed position in the sky. ""
• "November 11 — 11:13 p.m. A man driving from Bloomington to Danvers, Illinois, notices a large number of deer and raccoons on the road, all running away from Kings Mill Creek. He sees a gold sphere about 500 feet above the woods moving silently in a 'rapid, almost yo-yo-like, circular motion.' (National UFO Reporting Center, “NUFORC UFO Sighting 194009,” November 13, 2025)."

Anomaly Synchronization?

 This morning I turned on Netflix and selected a movie I had started to watch last night. I went to make a cup of coffee as the movie played. Suddenly I noticed my Playstation 4 device (just below the TV)  had mysteriously turned on. At the same instant I noticed a rubber band on the floor in front of the Playstation. I had noticed no such thing when turning on the TV shortly beforehand. I always pick up out-of-place objects such as rubber bands and coins from the floor of my living quarters, as soon as I notice them. 

Both types of anomalies are ones I have seen many times before. I often get an effect of the Playstation mysteriously turning on. And I have more than 25 times noticed rubber bands on the floor without being able to explain their appearance there.

In a Dream, Precise and Completely Accurate Recall of Two Spooky Events

The dream I had this morning involved an unprecedented type of recall I have never experienced before in any dream: a correctly dated and precisely accurate recall of past events. 

In the dream I sat on a sofa next to one of my late sisters, the first born of my siblings. First, I narrated to my sister an event that happened on January 29, 2024. Mentioning the exact date correctly, I gave a narrative that was exactly accurate, saying something very close to these words:

"Let me tell you about a spooky thing that happened on January 29, 2024, which, as you know, was our father's birthday. As I lay in bed that morning thinking of our father, the circuit breaker in the bathroom mysteriously turned off." 

The dream statement was exactly accurate. I was describing events that really happened on  January 29, 2024, events that I discussed in my post of that date you can read here.  

Next in my dream I used words very close to these words:

"Then another spooky thing happened one year later on January 29, 2025. I was expecting that something spooky would happen on that day, and it did, in the first hour of that day."

The dream statement was exactly accurate. Without finishing the full story, I was correctly describing events of  January 29, 2025 that I discussed in my post of that date you can read here. That date was my late father's 100th birthday. In the first hour of that day, I heard a loud noise. Investigating, I found that a front panel of my kitchen had strangely fallen to the ground, as if some mighty force had ejected it. The kitchen had been entirely remodeled a few years earlier, and the falling of the panel was extremely surprising. Below is a photo from that post. 

In both of these events occurring on my late father's birthday there was something spooky involving a panel, with the 2024 incident involving a circuit breaker on a little GFCI panel.  

What is mind-boggling about today's dream was its unprecedented occurrence of precisely accurate recall of events that occurred in my life, with the exact dates correctly remembered, and with all the details mentioned being precisely accurate. I can never recall such a thing previously happening, even though I have been recording my dreams every night for quite a few years.  An equivalent thing would be if I were to have had a dream telling someone correctly, "I remember that on November 22, 1963 I was in a school bus and I heard that President Kennedy had been shot." But prior to today, I have never had any such dream that was correctly discussing an event in my life while also giving the correct date the event occurred. 

My dream this morning seems to accentuate the clue importance of the events that occurred on these dates (January 29, 2024 and January 29, 2025). I have a strong suspicion here of some causal involvement stemming from beyond my own mind and beyond my own brain. 

For a discussion of 500+ dreams I have had that seemed to suggest life after death, read my post here.
