This is the real thing.. its not a hoax
This picture was takened not so long ago, i was at a friends house in bolton, ontario
His house was in a middle of a field.. no traffic, no lights nothing couldve cause those lights.
It was pitch black when i tooked the pictures.. there wasnt even a moon during that night..
it could be orbs or it could be camera.. i doubt it..
The pictures were takened at about 2-3 am in the morning..
there is this one picture of huge green orb on the left of me. The orbs are in different shapes and sizes.. and colors.. There is this other picture of a line of orbs in color next to one of my friends and another 2 orbs on the right side of this other guy
damn i cant post the pictures.. the maximum file size is 20 k..
the picture is 90k ++
Full Version: Orbs

Orbs, or sometimes known as Ball-lightning. Scientists can even duplicate these things now in controlled conditions. It takes a pronominal amount of power to do so, but it has been done. Of course there’s many cases where the orbs have been seen floating of into the distance. Interestingly enough on all the cases I’ve read about Ball-lightning, they are floating near something metal?

I i think he means orbs as in the kind you get when you take a pic whith a digital camera...and nothing to do with ball lightning

Yeah, still would have been intresting to see the pic, he seems to have vanished..?
it's quite a common thing...have taken a few photos with orbs in them....just looks like small circles in the photo
Do you ever see them weird like circles in your eyes? They are more like blury hexogons, and sometimes linked? I often see them when I look up at the sky.
Does anyone know what they are?

ive neen told its dust in your eye or bacteria but i dont believe it
me and my friend have talked about them and its weird that you usually only see them in the morning. one morning we decided to see if we were seeing the same thing , so we picked one spot in the sky and tried to point out ones that stood out from the rest. we saw 2 of the little weird circles move in the same path and same direction. i think it might be something that is always in the sky, it must be something about the morning light that makes 'em visable. as to what they are im as clueless as the rest. but i do know theyre not bacteria or dust

I am rather sceptical of this orb business. They look remarkably like dust particles to me, and it may be significant that they have only been seen on digital photos (to the best of my knowledge).
It reminds me of those "rods" that have been detected on film footage. I would be curious to know if these have all been caught on digital film or tape, since something that occurred during the latest Gulf War has made me rather sceptical of these objects also. I was watching Sky News at one point, and the camera was pointing towards a domed building in Baghdad. I could clearly see insects flying around near the camera. However, the next shot showed a view from almost exactly the same position (it could actually have BEEN the same position), but the insects had now been replaced by RODS !
In conclusion, I deduced that these rods were indeed insects, but that they were now being viewed through a different type of lens, or maybe even different equipment (digital as opposed to normal optics ?).
I would love to know why this happened, but it was VERY revealing.

You see it in the morning because you just woke up. Dead eye cells.
i saw an orb last month... does anyone knows why? i mean where does orbs came from...

I heard that they were solid(not transparent, like most people believe) and can be seen with the human eye. They say that orbs are a type of energy trying to manifestate itself in that area. Or something to that effect.
Cya!
Ug. Almost all (if not all) of the "orb" pictures are just lens flares. Many people say that they only appear after film is developed. Uh, thats why they call then lens flares, the lens creates them. I tinker with animation and I can recreate the effect with almost no effort.

Me to! I done that once on one of my computer programs. It was a pic of one of my friend's houses and she said that she thought it was haunted. I put an orb in the photo to freak her out. Well, she fell for it, got kind of freaked out until I told her I done it and I was just kidding. She didn't beleive me at first, but then she hit me with it
Luckily, it was only a peice of printed out paper... lol
Cya!

Could be dust (dandruff even
) passing close to the lens that's been illuminated by the flash, but as the camera isn't focused on the particle it looks fuzzy. The closer the flash is to the lens the more likely it is to happen, that's why it tends to happen more with very compact digital cameras. Would of been nice to see the photo though 
Iwent to the worlds biggest ghost hunt on sat 18 october at tutbry castle, took 1 photo of two orbs without even knowing it, didn't know they were there till my dad pointed it out i will get my hubby to send them in so you can see them and tell me what you think. by the way it was a great night out.

Just out of interest what type of camera did you use?
yes it was a digital camera algenon, does that mean that there not orbs at all, im a bit disapointed now thought i had something good for a minuet nevermind
Orbs show up best on digital camera, and it's also it's helpful if you're in the dark and have night vision on your camera. They very rarely show up on analogue/film cameras but it does happen. Orbs are also sometimes seen by the naked eye and it is usually just before or after the person sees a ghost, they are believed to be the first manifestation.

One of the reasons orbs rarely show up on film cameras is that the flash is far enough away from the lens so that any dust particles illuminated can't be resolved by the camera.
Just to prove a point I shook a duster in the air then took a digital photo without flash, with flash and with a orange filter over my flash, and well you can see the results.
So basically if an orb photo has been taken without a flash or on an slr with an external flash then chances are something paranormal may well of been picked up.

Ah, sorry,
got a little mixed up there. The threads referring to the strange orbs that accompany images, photos etcetera. In that case, sorry, have no idea. Does it only happen on digital, or are they as common on normal cameras, or even video cameras?

Hi Kryso,
I'll try and explain why they're so common with digital cameras and not 35mm and APS cameras. As you can see I'm very sceptical when it comes to orbs and digital camera photos (taken with a flash) - but far less so with 35mm cameras.
I've done a quick drawing to help illustrate the point. With a digital camera (and some ultra compact APS cameras) the flash tends to very close to the camera lens - this causes false orbs to the recorded. The reason for this is that the flash is close enough to the lens to actually illuminate any dust particles that are close enough to the lens to be picked up by the camera (see piccie below). Dust is so small that it has to be very close to the lens to be picked up (resolved) by the camera, an e.g. is a car you can see a car at 20m but not at 20km. With a 35mm camera the illuminated particles are just too far away to picked up by the film.
This is why conventional cameras are far less likely to pick up dust particles (or false orbs) which is why i'm more inclined to believe film photos or flash-free digital photos. I'm not actually a sceptic but know enough about about photography to know that 99.9% of digital orb photos are false positives.
I believe in orbs and stuff like that, but many of the pics you see claiming to be orbs are just flares and dust, if you go to a good paranormal site that has professionally taken orb photo's, most of them look far diffrent then dust or flare orbs...now the big one that is faaked sooooo much is the ecto in picture's...99.9% of them are cig smoke

Thanks... very informative and I appreciate the trouble you went through with drawing the examples. I have learned something today, and that’s thanks to you! Cheers!
Kryso did you make your avatar ?? i like it
Here is something very interesting-
When I was a child I lived in Pensacola, Fl right next door to the Barkley House. It is haunted. On a whim I entered the house name in google and look what I came up with- check this out for numerous orb photos and some other intriging pics-Ghosts and orbs

The little things you are seeing are called "floaters" Here is a link to a Webmd article on them:

Hope that helps...
