A Bright Orb

We see below a mysterious orb I photographed indoors near an air conditioner.
In Episode 2 of Season 2 of the Netflix series "High Seas" two characters start talking about life after death. I started to take some photos, hoping to get something spooky during the brief conversation mentioning life after death. I did get an orb in a photo at the exact moment a character mentioned the phrase "near death experience." At the exact moment that one character was saying that when someone dies, it may be that "their spirit remains with us," I got a very spooky-looking effect in my photo of the TV screen. It could conceivably have been caused by my hand accidentally making a sudden jerk at that moment. But my hand is almost invariably steady when I photograph, and I bet I could take 500 consecutive photos of a TV without such an effect repeating.
Postscript: Five days later I photographed another bright orb at almost the exact same position.

Was It Resting Up There?
Photo date: December 23, 2025. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
I keep two smoke detectors on top of my near-the-ceiling air conditioner (and in the same room I have an additional ceiling-mounted smoke detector). In the photo below it rather seemed as if a mysterious orb was resting on the same air conditioner.

Bright Orb Just After the Anomaly
Photo date November 18, 2025. Photographer Mark Mahin.
We see below a bright orb I photographed in the first photo I took after noticing yet another example of a rubber band anomaly I have seen well over 20 previous times. When the anomaly occurs, I will suddenly notice a rubber band on the floor of my living quarters with me having no explanation as to how the rubber band got there (I always immediately clean up all small objects from the floor as soon as I see them). In this case the anomaly occurred after 5:00 PM EST, with the rubber band being in a very noticeable position only a meter in front of where I had sat for most of the day, without previously noticing such a rubber band. The windows were all closed, ruling out any "gust of wind" explanation.
