I've no idea

Me neither so I'm giving this a bump to see if anyone does Smile

Dust particles catching the light 99% of the time.

Hazardswan · 23/08/2018 19:01

Shock what's the 1 percent?!

combatbarbie · 23/08/2018 19:02

My spiritualist friends believe they are spirits in the room....

DiabolicalMess · 23/08/2018 19:04

The other 1% is bugs catching the light 😄

Sorry OP, I'm not exactly a sceptic but I don't think orbs are anything paranormal at all.

Reaa · 23/08/2018 19:05

The 1% I can't explain Grin

I think it's very rare that a photo would pick up something orb like, that was anything other than dust.

I would have to see the actual photo

Hazardswan · 23/08/2018 19:23

What about if you see orbs yourself not in a photo? Are they eyeball floaters?

Hopscotch68 · 23/08/2018 19:24

On reflection, I'm not even sure it's an orb!!

But I took a pic on my iPhone, and it had a weird colourful 'spot' on it

Showed dp and we didn't think much of it. Few days later he is deleting his own pics and photo taken same time/place has the same spot on it! I'll post my own pic

I think that's a dodgy pixel.

Reaa · 23/08/2018 19:31

That looks like the flash reflecting off something in the grass.

MsHomeSlice · 23/08/2018 19:53

it's some sort of internal reflection/ refraction from the lens system within the camera.

often a bluey lilacy colour or greenish depending on the coating of the lenses .

not orbs, spirits or Planet X.

Hopscotch68 · 23/08/2018 20:27

Just odd it's on a separate pic dp took also! Off his own phone

Both got dodgy phones. His pic was taken a bit further down the hill

it's NOT odd at all,

all cameras have lenses,
all lenses reflect and refract, you take a picture of the same light source you are going to get the same picture.

it's like being surprised your Aunt looks the same when two different cameras take a picture of her at the same time. It is the LEAST odd thing ever.
