Orbs...what do you think of this???

I agree with mystic and tomas view.
It shows lol that our believe is easely triggered on an associative way.
We see something and say wow that must be a ghost or an alien or a spaceship, in most cases prob pure association or hope for contact with the extra ordinary to break out of our daily routine.

As someone who has personally had experiences with those who have passed i do believe that orbs are genuine articles 2 out of 10 times.

Mostly they are just dust or even insects, but some are not. Those images are clearly not the real deal, the supernatural orbs don’t show up on normal film only through nightvision cameras as these don’t use flashes which don’t show up most of the misc rubbish floating around. (still cameras are never great for orbs as you catch just about anything)

The second one is reflected and out of focus light that could be a light source, sun reflection. The first one is not light reflecting, insect or dust. But i still don’t believe it to be supernatural.

But i have personally seen orbs that cannot be explained through normal earthly means and i do believe some of them are paranormal. Almost every body here should believe they are possible however for the following reasons.

A. They believe in heaven. (That place where dead people aka spirits go)

B. They believe in astral projection (where the astral body/consciousness sepurates from the physical) If you are caught correctly in the light during an AP physical people can catch a glimpse of you so it’s highly possible a camera may catch a flash of light energy which would look like orbs.

A real investigation will always test tapes and look closely at orbs over 80% of the time they will be dust or similar, but sometimes they can’t be explained.

Hehe, woa. Funny…

Well, jumping into the fray :cool: , id say that i believe in the possibility of these things. I mean, i havent experienced them but still do not deny them. Those pictures do look fixed, but does that necessarily mean that ‘therefore ALL orbs are fake?’

Basically, we cant prove them, we cant disprove them. By natural means, that is. There are a lot of things out there that cant be explained (as Dark Matter suggested) but the scientific community (rather than question and pursue it, being scientists) does not point these phenomena out to the public being like ‘woa what is this?’ but instead just kinda, forget about it or something. :tongue:

Then again its understandable. Most people need explanations for things before they think about them. Also, its probably hard to isolate and test it, not to mention the public’s reaction, government not liking such things…its a complicated world of knowledge, this era… :neutral:

Can someone explain what an ‘orb’ is meant to be?
If the things in the pics arent orbs… then what are orbs?

Real orbs look similar to those pics although they vary in size and shape.

Orbs are said to be the first stage of a ghost manifestation, although as you might have guessed by the posts here you really have to rule out more scientific explinations first such as dust, water particles instects. Once you’ve ruled all the possibilities then you could say the orb maybe of paranormal origin.

Personally i question the validity of the images above rather than the “orbs” on them.

Mybe the ord is, as Dark Matter pointed out, the first stage in a “ghost minfestation”, where your spirit releases the energy and later becomes an ghost.

Ive never heard of it being the first signs of a ghost manifestation until i read it here. Kinda interesting…does anyone have any links to valid seeming sites out there??? :grin:

I haven’t found any good sites on the topic, but just two days ago this article was published about orbs. Though it has a penetrating ET flavour…

I don’t know any sites that can give you acurate information, it’s not something i look at online, but chances are you’ll find about 50 BS or Fake sites for every 1 reable site.

Yes ! I believe it’s true !

… and that orbs are related with UFO ! The proof on this wonderful photograph !

… I fixed it myself ! :rofl:

“The fake stuff is all over the place, which only ever makes it harder to find the real ones…”

Um… well, maybe there aren’t any real ones! :smile:

Those photos are oviously fixed, but have you ever heard of Ball Lightening? This is the phenominan (spelling?) that started the ghost ball mystery. If you don’t know what it is, look it up :smile:

Mystery

Yeah ball lightening is really weird! No one exactly knows how it originates, but it’s definitely a natural phenomenon :smile:

Ball Lightning ? It’s the lightning, but instead of a huge thunder lightning, it’s a fast flying ball, and it’s not such dangerous if it hits you. If you mean that, my Gramma saw it many years ago in the kitchen when she was washing the dishes !
I believe it has not been explained by science yet, probably some kind of plasma gizmo. :confused:

Like many things science denied its exsistance for many years, at least they accept it now.

Not dangerous? About 3years ago there was a storm near where i live a pub was hit by ball lightning, it hit the building and exploded. The outside looked undamaged but inside the loaf area all the beams were burnt black.

Might not be as dangerous but i don’t want it anywhere near me thanks :wink:

Ball lightening is very unstable and usually only lasts (that is floats around) for a minutes or 2 at most, some say its plasma some say it some kind of electrical charge within a magnetic field, several theories on this, it is acctually quite dangerous, because it is unstable and can either explode or just dissapear, its said that if one is near you, don’t move!

There have been a case when a lightening ball floated around a person’s room for about a minutes an a half during which time is went up the persons shirt! after which it just dissapeared.

Mystery

So my gramma was very lucky ! The ball lightning went out by the faucet and then away by the sink hole, while she was washing the dishes (hmmm… during a big mediterranean storm, not very clever :tongue: ). She was very afraid but had no trouble and nothing was destroyed.

I’ve personally seen ball lightning, possibly more than once.

The first possible time i was very young and was told it was rubbish and it didn’t exsist so as you might expect after 15years that memory is faded and inaccurate.

But the first time i “know” i saw it was back in 1995, there had been a storm earlier but had passed shortly before i saw this. I was sat in the living room. The houses behind ours are 3 levels high. I remember looking up at the house and saw this ball of light just hovering near the house directly above ours. Perspectively it was halfway between the size of a tennis ball and a football (soccer for you americans)

i’m not sure how long it had been there but it imploded rather loudly within 2 or 3 seconds of me spotting it. It kind of just shrank quickly in on it’s self and vanished (hence why i said implode rather than explode) the noise was deafening though, like when a storm is right on top of you loud. In honesty i’m surprised the sound didn’t crack a few windows, concidering how close it was to the house.

I’ve never seen anything like it since.

the tent looked really cool :cool:

i’ve seen something on some channel about ball lightning. they tried making it, and it worked. they had two parallel walls set up, maybe only a foot apart, and two wires on the outside of the wall. they made a lightning ball shoot across from one wall to another.
