What are the orbs in photos?

In photos you have taken, especially with a digital camera, do you notice globules of light like little moons?

They can appear on any part of the picture. Sometimes there is only one and may be inconspicuous at first; other times there are so many they cover the entire picture.

If you have those circular lights on your pictures, then you have captured images of what are called “orbs.” Lately, more and more orbs are appearing in pictures taken by digital cameras.

The first to call my attention to these strange lights was movie actress Rosanna Roces. She told me about two years ago that they had appeared in almost all the pictures she took everywhere.

I thought at first they were Santelmos or St. Elmo’s fire, fireballs seen usually in marshlands or swamps.

But when Osang showed one of her photos, they were definitely not St. Elmo’s fire.

She told me she found out she could even command them to appear where she wanted them to be seen on the picture.

Convinced

Her former husband Tito did not believe her. So she asked the orbs to appear on his head before she took a picture and they were all there. Next, she asked the orbs to appear at his feet and they all did. He finally believed her.

Soon after Osang showed me pictures of the orbs, other people began telling me that orbs appeared in their pictures, too. So I began to be really curious, but could not find any reference to them anywhere.

Then I saw an article in Fate Magazine, an American publication devoted to the strange and supernatural. I have been a subscriber to this magazine for a long time but that was the first time the subject of orbs ever came out.

At first there was a great deal of skepticism about the objects. It was theorized they were merely dust particles or water droplets. The theories were later abandoned as more people began examining them.

I wrote a letter to Fate Magazine about my own observations, which was published two years ago.

I found that if you enlarged the orbs, especially the brightest ones, there were geometrical figures or even strange faces in them. Some look like the surface of the moon with craters.

Other figures look like extra-terrestrials’ (ET’s) heads with big black diamond-shaped eyes, small noses and mouths.

Orbs are mostly circular. But later Osang took pictures of diamond, oval and triangle shapes. They had white, blue, orange and violet colors.

Women only

Strangely enough, orbs seem to appear only in photos taken by women. Some of them are getting scared.

What do these orbs mean? Why do they appear only in some people’s photos and not in others? Is there any danger connected with those pictures? Are they warnings of bad things to come?

So far, I have not heard of anything bad happening to people who have taken pictures of orbs.

The only negative incident I heard was told to us during a television program in August where I was a resource person on this paranormal occurrence.

Television personality Alicia Mayer said she took pictures in a Singapore hotel. In almost all the pictures, many orbs appeared.

That night, one of their companions named Paul was sleeping on the tenth floor when he was suddenly lifted up. He fell to the seventh floor and broke several ribs but survived.

I told Alicia the two events, the appearance of orbs and Paul’s accident did not have to be causally related. It could be just coincidence.

In my opinion, it was likely that negative, earthbound spirits played a trick on Paul or tried to kill him. They told me they felt a strange, eerie feeling in that hotel. So I cannot attribute that fall to the orbs.

As I said, most reports I received on orbs were harmless.

This really calls for further investigation because pictures of orbs appear almost everywhere lately. The wife of a high government official told me, quite anxiously, that orbs must be following her because her pictures in China, France, England and Rome were filled with them. She was getting scared.

Even photos she took back home also had orbs. She found a book about orbs, “Beyond Photography,” by a British author but it did not answer fundamental questions.

What are they? Why do they appear? Where do they come from? Are they dangerous?

The only way to answer these questions is to get more facts.

We are asking people who have had orbs in their pictures to contact us and give us copies, with a written description of where, when and under what circumstances they were taken, and the cameras used.

We also want to know if they noticed anything strange before and after taking the photos.
