(CBS 11 News) HALTOM CITY In the world of the paranormal, experts say there are many phenomena that can occur involving light. But one North Texas church has reported not only the appearance of orbs, but other religious manifestations

The church’s senior pastor Steve Solomon, a Messianic Jew (a Jew who believes Jesus is his/her messiah) has reported, among other things, an oil substance manifesting on the balcony and on the baptismal and the pulpit of the sanctuary.

One of the church’s prayer intercessors, Velma Alexander, was the first person to discover the oil when entering the sanctuary one day and simply touching one of the columns in the church. She says her initial reaction was, "Somebody better call Pastor Steve, ‘cause oil don't come outta wood and brass!" Alexander said when the pastor first heard about it he thought something had broken, thus their investigation into the matter began.

Solomon said that as people began taking pictures of the oil, something else began to appear in the pictures. He said, "We'd started taking pictures at church and almost everyone would just take a picture and these orbs of light would show up."

Sounds like typical dust orbs. I've taken pictures in churches and they are dustiest places no matter how clean they are kept.

I have to agree. Orbs are too easily accounted for. I don't believe that an orb of anykind is supernatural.

Yep, most churches have high ceilings that are often open beamed, and windows with sills, hanging lights, they don't get dusted often because they're inaccessable. All it takes is for someone to open a door, or many feet on a floor, and down falls the dust for everyone's digital camera's to capture in their flashes.

If these folks were smart, they'd bring in a professional photographer with professional equipment... I mean, notice how professional photos, like wedding photos, never have orbs? It's because a professional photographer uses lens shades and flashes that are a long way away from the lens. They don't catch orbs because their photos are properly lighted.
