ORBS -- CONSCIOUS LIFE FORMS
FROM OTHER DIMENSIONS?

 [WeeklyUniverse.com] .Why
the influx of orb photos -- and what are orbs?
Most orbs are caught on digital
cameras. This is the most popular way to take pictures -- almost
every household owns one -- so this would explain the increase in the number
of orb photos.
* Myth or Facts?
Some
skeptics have their theories about orbs:
1. Orbs are just pixel distortions
in the electronics of cameras. This could be true -- if almost every
picture taken with a camera contains orbs. In that case, get the
camera fixed or buy a new one.
2. Other skeptics suggest that orbs could
be reflections off of dust particles that are floating in a room, or off
of a moth or some other insect flying around.
3. Others say orbs are just someone shining
a flashlight into the camera.
But...
1. But why would one only photograph
orbs on occasion, and only in one location? Can a camera take distorted
pictures randomly? Possibly.
But in one investigation,
the orbs mainly appeared in one room. The only other room
the orbs appeared in -- and only once -- was in a nearly adjacent room.
But we took pictures throughout the house on every visit -- and only that
one room had orb activity. And with pixel distortions in digital
cameras, you cannot see through the 'orbs,' nor can you see actual
faces in them.
2. If orbs were caused by dust particles
floating about a room, the photo should be nearly white with the reflection
coming off of all the dust particles. So why are there only
one, or a few, orbs in some photos?
As for the insect theory, after taking the photo
you'd see the insect buzzing around. And if you photograph an insect
and the light does happen to reflect off it -- it wouldn't be a perfect
orb and wouldn't have the layers of some orbs. Plus, I think most
people are smart enough to know an insect when they see one.
3. Yes, some people try to fake photos
with a flashlight or candle. But with a flashlight, the glare on
the
camera is intense and looks fake. And with a candle, you see the
flame's glow in the center -- and any software program can enlarge
the
photo to reveal that it's a fake.
As for using software to fake photos
-- unless you are a master of fakery, even an amateur can take that photo
and use their own program to learn where the photo has been doctored.
* Videos
But how
does one explain orbs caught on video? I can see the insect theory
working here. But as I said, most people can distinguish between
an insect and something unusual. I had an orb fly right up to me
-- saw it through the screen on the camera! -- and when I looked up, no
insect.
As for
dust, again, there'd be so many particles reflecting light that all you'd
see is a sea of white.
And if
orbs were caused by a pixel distortion on the video camera -- then all shots
taken with that camera would have the same problem.
And unless
you're a master at filmmaking and fakery -- an amateur can usually discern
a fake orb video within an hour.
I believe
the orbs we've caught on video are something more. They don't float,
but rather 'dance' around. And when we talk to them, these orbs float
to the person speaking (or concentrating). A rock doesn't approach
you when you speak to it, nor does it have any reaction, neither does steel
or the like.
Only things
with
a conscious or life energy seem to have a reaction when communication
is involved.
* Guides & Angels
A world-famous
psychic that I respect -- and believe me, I can count the ones I do on
one hand! -- believes that orbs are "guides" or "guardian angels." After seeing an orb hover over my 14-year-old niece one night, then seeing
it disappear behind her, I think that is not only a lovely thought -- but
possibly true!
In the
same house, a woman sat down and concentrated as a photo was taken. A huge orb appeared beside her head, and I had a vision of the woman's
grandfather. So could orbs be spirits or visitations -- messages
from deceased loved ones? Absolutely possible.
The notion
of orbs as deceased loves ones is compatible with the angel/guide theory. Most people believe that their deceased loved ones return to check up on
them when needed.
* Aliens?
Another
theory states that orbs are aliens.
Not that
I don't believe there are other life forms in the universe and that we
might be monitored -- but why would there be so many 'aliens' in one house? Especially in a house full of ordinary people, with no significant political
power?
* Orbs Are Conscious
In conclusion,
I believed that orbs are some type of "consciousness." What kind
-- guides, angels, dearly departed -- no one knows. One house I've
investigated has a room with orbs, plasma, and apparitions. My theory
is that there might possibly be a portal on that piece of land. The
theory of departed loved ones watching over the house's residents cannot
be disputed either.
Others
believe there's more than one dimension in our world. Anywhere from
five to an infinity. And in these other dimensions, other consciousness
'live' and on occasion enter ours and communicate -- or stumble in by accident. They've always been here, but it's only now that so many people have had
the technology to capture them. Maybe they're trying to tell us something
-- about ourselves, about the world around us, about our future as a planet.
As technology
advances and becomes less expensive, what other amazing paranormal activity
will we discover?
