Orb Shows Up For Orb-Mentioning TV Show

Photo date: December 17, 2025. Photographer: Mark Mahin. 

We see below my TV set while I was watching Episode 4 of the Netflix series "Encounters." It is an episode that mentions sightings of mysterious orbs and unexplained lights around the Fukushima site that suffered from a tsunami. At the very instant this photo was taken, the TV showed unexplained lights witnessed in the sky. The caption says, "We didn't exactly know what they were or what they were doing."

The stripe pattern is almost exactly the same as the one in my photo from a few weeks ago. The 3 elements are a J-like element on the left, a slanted element on the right, and a little mark on the bottom, slightly to the right of the center. 

See my post here for many other examples of repeating patterns in mysterious orbs.

Yet Another Orb With a J-Like Stripe

 Photo date: September 17, 2025. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

We see below a mysterious orb I photographed indoors. 

The similarity between this orb and an orb I photographed five days earlier is striking. The top of each stripe begins at exactly the same point, a little to the right of the top center point in the circle. Both orbs have a J-shaped shadow stripe. Could the J letter be symbolic? A J could stand for a person, or maybe the month of June or January.
