one very pertinent question we need to ask in the | manoeuvres would seem to indicate the properties of context of our enquiry: when we photograph an orb, _ essentially weightless, electrically propelled plasmas— what exactly are we photographing? If not mundane all characteristics which have been observed and objects or ghosts, angels or spirit beings, what is i recorded by many people who are studying orb that is appearing on our photographs? Is there some phenomena. reasonable theory as to the likely physical properties The basic premise of the plasma theory of orbs is of orbs which makes them photographable in the firs hat orbs are complex plasma structures which may place? become visible when exposed to electromagnetic Here, as with most other areas of enquiry, the bes energy or large quantities of photons such as are tools we have are an open mind and a critical faculty. | emitted by a camera flash.
