Strange Scene Inspires a Strange Tale

Photo date: October 5, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  We see a weird, dreamy scene that is very hard to describe. But perhaps I can create a little children's story inspired by this strange scene.

Once upon a time there was a class of about a dozen little orb disks who were being taught a school lesson by their two orb teachers, who had long flowing hair. But two of the two little orb disks were bored by the lesson. So they levitated up away from the class. 

Like Some Supernatural Stairway

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  We see an astonishingly strange arrangement of disk-like objects that almost resembles a slanted stairway, with each of the little disks looking like steps on the stairs.

The photo was cropped from the larger photo below, which shows a rich variety of anomalous weirdness. Note the translucent "orb mushroom" near the bottom, which resembles similar-looking anomalies shown here.

Like Ascending Flying Saucers: Orb "Vertical Tails"

Photo date: October 5, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  We see some half-orbs and disk-like orbs with some remarkable "vertical tails" that look rather like the exhaust of an ascending rocket.  Right-click to see the photo at its full resolution.

In this blog I will use the label "orb vertical tail" to label this type of anomaly. This type of "tail" underneath an orb or half-orb is different from what I label as an "orb comet tail" -- a horizontal tail-like feature.
