Any real orb may also move against the present air current or in some oposite direction this is a sign you may have more than dust, perhaps a bug?If the orb can be seen to go behind somthing and appear once again is most likely real or an insect. Activations of an EMF detector or EVP's that coincide with the appearance of orbs are noted as possible anomalies, again when seen with the naked eye. EMF activation or an EVP that has been captured simultaneously when orbs are photographed or videotaped. Two other indicators that the orb may be truly anomalous is if it is partially obscured (and thereby indicating distance from the lens) or in movement and produces it's own light. This is due to a number of particles in the air, billions of them and their size, and how close they are to the lens in relation to the light illuminating them . If the orb is a particle of dust it could be seen repeatedly in a series of photos. We look to see if the same orb shows up in more than one photo from the same camera and did it produced it's own light. PROS has found several ways to determine the nature of orbs that are potentially paranormal. Billions at least milllions to one anywhere. Why? Because there's more airborne particles than ghosts in any given area.

That the chances of some airborne particle being the cause is much greater than the anomalies being paranormal based. The question is how do you know when it's an energy orb and not just dust or something else? Always keep in mind. The truth is both sides of this debate can be right. Bright lights can also illuminate particles close to the lens. Others insist they are a form of energy.

What are they? There are those who believe orbs are dust or other optical anomalies such as reflections on the lens, pixelation on a digital camera, or a flash too close to the lens of the camera. Some common names are 'ghost lights' or 'spook lights'. They often are different colors such as red, pink, green, or blue but most commonly are white. These spheres of lights have been reported though out history and seen with the naked eye.

They can be different sizes ranging from golfball-size to as large as a basketball. They are circular balls of light which appear in photographs. One of the most controversial subjects in paranormal research revolves around orbs. BILLONS of them EVERY WHERE! Question every thing. Shine a laser anywhere to see the particles when the area is dark. Orbs in the picture above were created by dust, notice the broken glass in the windows.
