Maybe a good name for these sun anomalies is "sun fish" because they aren't exactly circular and orb-shaped all the time. And like orbs, I believe they are sentient (all things are IMO). And I say "fish" because a couple of years ago I had a couple of instances where I woke in the morning and before becoming 100% conscious I would see what appeared to be jellyfish type creatures in the room suspended in the air. Actually, I remember two times this happening and there was only one jelly fish at a time, but they were totally different from each other. I described one in my journal as looking like an ornate lantern (various pastel colours). They were somewhat transparent but a bit more opaque like an anemone.

And these sun creatures remind me of those jellyfish.
