Anybody got an explanation for these Orbs

[Taurean]

I just uploaded these pictures from our holidays on the Algarve in October

I've just noticed on 3 of the frames lots of Orbs in the picture. ?????

Michael Tellinger has a theory that they are non physical energies ( maybe Souls )

Can anybody add to this ?

I've seen some glowing orbs with my own eyes several times in my life.
They looked like a bright light energy balls that were passing by and standing in front of me.

It's nothing like on these pictures. I think that what you see here is just camera optics registering particles or dust under low light. Have you checked if your optic lens are clean ?
This can happen when i dust particle gets illuminated and it's usually shown like this. You can produce the same effect with your own eyes when you observe small tiny "objects" up very closely under light, they all appear like nice round spheres.

[Arpheus]

Rain drops on the lens perhaps?

[Taurean]

Surely they would be in the same place on the image if it was specks of dust, and no it wasn't raining, also it's just these three night shots that they appear on.

[Orion.V]

Then it remains puzzling, but however you can test this again in a similar environment considering the light exposure.
I assume it has to do something with the light. As i said before i have seen orbs in my life with my own eyes, i know they do exist but these on the pic look ... way too "unnatural"
And speaking of these orbs i do have a very limited knowledge about them. I can only assume they are inter dimensional beings maybe or as you say forms of energies ...

I believe i have seen one on a UFO video, if i find it i am going to share.

Oh check this one btw :)

I have had orbs similar to yours show up in my digital photographs. I've noticed them frequently in religious ceremonies, graveyards and spiritual ceremonies. Once in a Costa Rican village, during a Good Friday procession of Priests and villagers, I had orbs in white, blue and red show up in the pictures I took. I used the camera 10-15 min. later somewhere else and there were no orbs. I sometimes ask are there any friendly spirits here and after that I get orbs in the same location where I previously took a photograph seconds before and there were none.

After I down-loaded them I found that when I enlarged them they had a cellular structure with a definitive membrane ring and a plasma center. Quite different from lens flare or water drops. There was no rain or moisture when I took the pics. My gut feeling was spiritual energy.

Hmm, very interesting especially the part where you say about the spiritual ceremonies.
This reminds me that when i look up in the sky, when there is a bright blue sky i usually see like there is a bacteria type organisms floating all around, they have a cell structure , membrane and a center ....

Same here, Orion. I figured it was filaments in my eye.

It's odd, though, because they look like cell structures which, if they were, should only be able to be seen through a microscope.

[Taurean]

Woww I just caught one in the house

310031013102

Deffinately looks cellular.

Whats even more synchronous is I only got Tellingers book three days ago.

[Orion.V]

Hehe awesome ! On the first pic there is more of them.
I WANT your psychic camera !!!! ;) :p

And yes, certain events fall into perfect synchronisity many times.

[Taurean]

Hey look at this one -- Snow & Orbs

[Ross]

They look like snorbs to me...ok that was silly:wacko:

[MargueriteBee]

Orbs are people who don't have bodies, they come here to check us out, they like us.

[sepia]

Obviously these beings vibrate in a frequency that can be detected by digital cameras...

I have seen very large and impressive blue-ish orbs on two occasions on a camera. I am sure they are spiritual beings that honored us with their presence during meetings when people were engaged in high quality communication and with a clear, very ethical intention.

They can be on very different levels - but are always playful and light.

Some of them have been incarnated on our planet earlier, some not. They sometimes "tell you" who they are, if you can telepathically get in touch with them.

The last picture interests me the most especially the thing over the power lines .I do believe it may have something to do with the digital camera i used

I started to see orbs about 3 years ago and was initially concerned that I may have some kind of problem with my eyes. I had two comprehensive eye examinations performed - everything fine. At the same time I started to notice orbs showing up in photographs of myself and loved ones. Curious, I carefully looked at about 100 recent photographs taken under varying conditions and circumstances and with several different cameras, both digital and film. 26% of the shots had clear and sometimes multiple orbs in the shots. I can now fairly accurately predict when an orb will show up in a shot. I can see basically three types of orbs with my naked eyes, blue floating balls and silver and gold points of light. I see them multiple times every day. Bill has posted a very good and typical orb shot taken when he was talking with Jim Humble.

In my reality they are becoming more evident all the time. In quiet peaceful places, under the right light and mood conditions, I see them constantly.

[Richard]

Friends, They are all dust particles or rain drops depending on which photo your looking at above.
If take a photo of my shop before i sweep, no orbs.
another photo just after a good sweeping, orbs a plenty.

I could do so and prove it but do I really need to? If someone wishes to believe they are ghosts or little beings or whatever and goes forth and YouTubes their observations then who am I to inject a dose of reality in them.

I guess my eyes are better than i thought, then. either that or the basketball size "dust particles" that i see daily with my naked eyes must mean i need a bigger broom.

I'm enamored of the strange myself, but think these orbs are but digital artifacts or dust.

kewl looks like some truths where spoken there lol

I might be tempted to agree, except that they show up in images taken with 35mm film cameras and - as I said earlier - if they are dust then i'm gonna need a bigger broom...! visible to many with the naked eye. me included.

Orbs are real clearly seen flying around in nightvision


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6O7kARaVnQ

Thanks for posting this video, Andrew! It provoked a great big smile on my face.

When I was between 3 and 4 years old, I was sitting on the edge of my parents' bed during a light thunderstorm at night (it was not ball lightning, I have seen it as well and it has always been very bright blue/white), looking out their window to the East, through a forest between us and our neighbours' house, two orange plasma like orbs passed by the window a few metres away at a rate similar to the movements in these clips, not particularly fast. They came from the North-East from over the river our property was beside, and were going in a Southwesterly direction. I recall them slowing down as they passed by the window and then going out of sight.

They were about the size of a soccer ball/English football as far as I can recall. They had an inner core which was more solid and slightly fizzy orange light, not neon orange but more champagne orange I suppose. They had an outer sphere which was much more translucent, same orange tone to the light but more muted and diffuse.

I was completely calm and mesmerized during the experience. They felt immensely friendly and sentient although there was no sort of telepathic communication during the entire episode. It was a wonderful encounter to say the least and one of my fondest memories.

/EDIT

Felt it appropriate to add some additional context. I posted about my experience shortly after I joined the forum in an early post. I'll give a nutshell/updated experience and perspective here. Over the past couple years I came into contact with their 'essence' aided by very light, non visionary, use of DMT (smoked). Calibrating my body/brain radio took a few months to sort of get a handle on their 'frequency'. What I learned is that they have been with me my whole life, though only that one time in visual form while awake, and recently in a lucid dream but there was only one and it was a different 'consciousness' to the previous two. Through the contact they felt incomprehensibly ancient and wise yet very very gentle. Through my body's perception I can only understand so much and my understanding of their essence is so limited because of that and there is infinitely more to learn/remember when my body reaches its end.

The contact was fairly 'one on one' and I often questioned if I was completely losing it (I still question to some degree). I'm always healthily skeptical of 'channeled' information of any sort so for this to be occurring with me was something to be questioned. The little bits that I was learning were fairly simple in nature and often learned 'visually' through geometry. Contact faded over the past few months although sometimes things come through but only when I ask and it is 'needed' or 'appropriate', in other words, something I'd be capable of learning/understanding in my current state. It is an ongoing thing and I've only described it in a fairly basic manner as a lot of it is fairly personal so a lot of additional context would need to be described.

There is of course no way for me to verify this with anyone, but in case any of you have had similar experiences, I thought it might be beneficial to share :)

[Arrowwind]

I have had a few orbs show up in photos also. they seem to appear on a regular basis at James Guillian's ranch near Mt Adams, the ECETI center.
they have a lot of photos of them on their site. I do not think that they are an optical effect. They seem to appear most in areas where there is accelerated concsiouness.
http://www.eceti.org/Eceti.ORBPhotographs.html

A friend of mine saw one on Mount Shasta in the forest back in '75, floating in the air in the night.. It freaked him out as they were not so well known back then.

[Suriel]

I have had only one encounter with an Orb. It was a basketball shaped blue orb. It floated into my bedroom. I was about 18 at the time. It came to me while I was in the bed. It whispered my name. I felt a direct connection with the Orb. It felt as if it had always been with me. It knew everything about me. Shortly after that visitation I changed. I began to shift into a higher awareness. My creativity had exploded into new form. Ever since that visitation it was as if something within me was activated. I believe these Orbs are from a higher dimensional realm. They are a part of us. I have often believed they were Angels, Souls, or some kind of Higher form of energy. It appears that many people have seen these. They are different colors. There is no way I could prove what I had seen. However, it was a very real experience for me.

[slipknotted]

i dont but i have seen them alot i believe they are a form of ET's there is a channel on youtube of a gal who see's these and film's them quite often the channel is called SEEING UFO"S IN PA check it out she even filimed regular crafts all over the hills of pa she should be interviewed, amazing stuff

[sllim11]

i've been photographing orbs for about 5 years now and wanted to show you guys a couple of really amazing ones...

[mojo]

I've always had difficulty determining the difference between calling something a sphere or an orb. The ghost hunters use the phrase orb alot but the distinction seems blurred. Then there's plasma balls and energy balls to add in the mix. Now that everything is clear as mud here is an (__________) that I recorded. One thing, I'm absolutely sure I dont know what to call it anymore.

I do not believe those light orbs are beings or energy balls or something like that.
To me it seems to have to do with the camera itself like reflecting light that bounces in the camera lens.
I found a nice piece that discusses this femomena and the causes that they claim are the cause are:

*Solid orbs - Dry particulate matter such as dust, pollen, insects, etc.

*Liquid orbs - Droplets of liquid, usually water, e.g. rain.

*Foreign material on the camera lens

*Foreign material within the camera lens

*Foreign material within the camera body

Full article is here: http://www.ssprstn.com/id65.html

Also the reason why i think this has something to do with reflections or the camera itself is because the discussion of this fenomena was almost non existend before the digital camera. After the introduction of the digital camera to the big public it the orb femonema has been discussed at length on many fora.

[Taurean]

Just watched the Orion Conspiracy and was facinated to see hundreds of Orbs around the astronauts on the Moon.

Would they have been digital cameras at that time ?

[enfoldedblue]

Most of the time 'orbs' in photos are just dust particles reflecting the flash. See below:

There's quite a few orb shots at this site that you might find interesting as well as other strange phenomena.

Some orbs i cant explain

But try this do a test yourself get a vidoe camera set it to night mode press record.Now get a towel shake it very hard up and down and across the floor and there you have it hundreds of them.

[juliagulia55]

For about 3 months now I have been seeing little purple/violet/indigo orbs, they appear and dissapear quite quickily and there's no specific time or place. Can anyone relate?

[Thefrenzy1978]

wow some great orb pics , i once lived in a flat that every picture you had taken was a garantee to have orbs in and found out by a medium that there was a little spirt girl in the flat she caused no harm , she did like hideing my ash tray though i found it in the toilet one morning lol .

[sllim11]

i read one really good and informative book about orbs. here's the link...

the closeup pic with hand in it, still is "over the top" to me.... there is no way that is dust i'm sorry.




and i just wanted to share these other two...

[Carmen]

Orbs seem to like happy gatherings and also the mist (mystical). I get them quite often.

[shiva777]

yeah,there are many theories on orbs..some say they are the mekaba vehicles of both positive and negative entities,some say they are elementals,some say they are new corrective enegry particle formations,some say they are just speacks of dust or mist caught on camera.Whatever they are ,they're pretty cool looking

Hi 42, thanks for directing me to this thread. I would like to know what it is i am seeing with my naked eye as well. Camera orbs are interesting, and can be easily 'explained away' as dust or water, but when you see them first hand with the physical eye, well, you start to wonder.

I have noticed a pattern with seeing orbs, there are certain thoughts that seem to trigger them. I will also very often see them flashing around my clients heads, and very often when they are sharing about a departed loved one.

I would really love to hear some feedback or ideas about what it is that i am seeing.

They vary in size and shape, sometimes it is a pin point of light, and sometimes about the size of a baseball. Sometimes i see them for a split second only and sometimes they last for about 5 seconds, those ones tend to sparkle or a have a more silver sheen to them. Mostly though they are either white or blue.

I am sure it could be just my eyes, but i don't think so, anyone know what this is?

[Taken By The Greys]

WOW..there are some phenominal photos in this thread!

Thanks for sharing!

I had not really taken much acceptance to such in the past..until I knew that I was taking them...I couldn't see them until I looked at the camera screen..as I was snapping photos at my sisters wedding. I did capture a really good one..when my uncle is standing between the large orb and the camera.. I will find it and post it if I am able to post pics here.. I shall return later to do so.

I have no doubt about Energies/spirits/ghosts they are as real as you and I...among other things... I have been awaken to much..through personal experiences..

Really nice photos on this thread..impressive.

[viscountvlad]

I wonder if there are any accounts of orbs pre digital photography? That would really interest me. I think quite unexcitingly most pictures can be put down to dust particles at varying distances to a focused camera. It doesn't help investigators that famously haunted houses are usually old and dusty!

[Taken By The Greys]

this is the ONE photo that sticks out...it is at my sisters wedding reception..and..I could feel the energy and power in the air...I was aware of these "orbs" as I took the photos..I could see them in the camera view screen as I was looking and taking pictures..Anyway...if this is just dust particles...then I cannot say much..other than here...

Edit to add:
I cant post a pic..so here's the link. IF some one can be so kind and make it so it is shown here..I would appreciate it.

[RMorgan]

99,9% of all "orbs" pictures are provoked by dust, moisture, insects and other suspended particles reflections, specially when you have the auto-focus turned on on your camera. Others are just optical artifacts like lens flares.

A good orb recipe is to spray some water on the air, in a low lighten environment, turn on your camera´s flash, turn off the red-eye compensation of your camera, turn on the auto-focus and have fun. Any kind of dust will work as well, but water particles gives better fractal particles effects.

A regular camera can´t actually see more than you can with your naked eye and a good flashlight, except for the artifacts produced by the camera itself.

If you see orbs with your own naked eyes, you´re into something. I´ve seen some myself. However, if you only see something trough your camera, specially cheap ones, the chances are very high that you´re seeing just regular optical artifacts.

A good way to perceive it, is to use a video camera, so you can see "orbs" anytime you want, in real time.
