Please click on the above link and view the google images for "dust under a microscope." I did not see any perfectly symmetrical, round images . . .

Somehow I don't think a person would be taking too many photos with a microscope to find "orbs". What makes you think "orbs" would have to be perfectly symmetrical and round?

Of course not...The images are in focus....I don't know why you are not getting it, but an irregular object has to be badly out of focus in order to appear round. Not only that, if they are close enough they appear slightly transparent.

Many of you keep saying orbs are nothing but specks of dust. I was curious about what specks of dust would look like under a microscope - no one said anything about anything in or out of focus - now you are just getting silly. The photos of orbs are "in focus" - and the orbs in the pictures are perfectly symmetrical and many are round if not oblong. They don't have ragged edges.

I googled "dust under a microscope" and came up with the images I linked to . . . your "explanation" is pure B.S.

Nice try.

Above is a google image search for "orbs." Notice the symmetry and maybe do some reading . . .

No, my explanation is correct...Perhaps you might take the word of people who have actually researched orbs, although I doubt it...You have your mind made up that something easily explained and quite ordinary is supernatural.

When the light (reflected as highlights from dust and the like) travels through the camera lens it is usually circular because that is the shape of the aperture. So, in fact, all orb shapes are defined by the aperture; it's just that the aperture is usually circular, but in the cases of some cameras in some circumstances they are not.

I read both of your links - a lot of speculation - no science, nothing convincing.

I do not personally believe orbs are "ghosts," but angels or spirit guides. There is a difference.

The first link had a sentence that said that sometimes the apertures are round, but sometimes not and on some cameras at some times, the effects vary . . . the second link mentioned a flash. I think I have said I have captured orbs without a flash, so that theory is down the drain.

We will obviously have to agree to disagree.

Yep, dust. Especially prevalent when a flash is used in a dark room. Any airborne dust close to the lense will appear to glow.

[imcurious]

What is your explanation for orbs that appear when a flash is not used?

I hope someday there is a place to share this stuff with people who can appreciate "alternative" perspectives.

I am very grateful 20Years did start this thread . . .it was good to see the other pictures.

I think more than the "rational" arguments it is the minimizing of the "invisible realms" that is discouraging.

Why try so hard to find a mystical explaination for something when a rational, proven explanation exists? What is the purpose of denying reality?
