Orbs - not paranormal?

I just know that I can go to my couch in total darkness, hit the cushion, snap a photo and get what people call orbs. The way my group and I go about our business is that if we can re-create, we throw it out. Study results can be skewed anyway you want them. In that sense, Norman is correct. Results are reliant on the person/group that announces them. We don't conduct studies, we go on a case by case basis. We have yet to see an Orb that we cannot explain. Visual pareidolia coupled with wanting to find something paranormal causes too many false positives. Also, "orbs" on video in night shot or zero lux are deceiving. Air currents moving dust particles create so many shots of "orbs" flying and changing direction. We have seen so many of these on our own video clips. Small wind currents will move dust all over the place. Just another opinion.

Is this a discussion or a jury and are you the judge.

.01% is or cannot be explained by science. Isn't that why we have people doing paranormal investigating? To find answers for themselves because they don't believe everything they were taught or read. Great response Mr. Glasser!!

Norman: "I have also done a independent study not for science but for myself over the years and my findings are different" can you post your research for us to see?

I'm sorry science seems to prove or disprove everything it is a big mistake to think science have all the answers because they have been proven over and over again not to have the answers If we were to close our minds we would still be blood letting that was a proven thing way back when. orbs to make a bold statement that they are mere dust or energy because they conducted a study. have not proven anything except they found this in their study. I have also done a independent study not for science but for myself over the years and my findings are different I have found some orbs to have a form of intelligence.I have also conformed some orbs to have faces in them to a point that people have compared photos with such similarities that there were no denying who they were.Just dust or a bug maybe some of the time but not all and to put a percentage down would be a disservice why because there are so many variables to consider were you there when the picture was taken? remember this they were seeing orbs before man could write.

We are in agreement Josh. You said nearly 100% and I said 99.9%. Can't get much closer then that!!

I have seen them with my own two eyes a few times. They were not in areas thought to be haunted.

I agree with the article completely. Nearly 100% of all orbs are either dust, insects, hair, etc. Even if they are not, energy orbs are completely normal. They exist and can be re-created.

Thank you for providing this informative article. I agree for the most part...99.99% of the "camera" orbs are nothing but dust. You have to considered the location the picture was taken and for that reason most of what i catch is dismissed. What if someone is experiencing a touch, a chill, a voice and so you take a picture and there is an orb next to their ear or arm. That is the .01% that cannot be explained. Then thete are orbs that can be seen with the naked eye, but that is a whole other subject.

no takers on this theory?
