A Five-Part Orb Pattern

I took the photos below while photographing only ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling in front of a black featureless background.  We see quite a few orbs that all have both a large oval hole and a much smaller circular hole.

I took the photos below while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark background.   We see strange orbs that have many holes in them, often three holes in a single orb.
