The near-death experience site www.nderf.org now has a search feature allowing you to search for particular keywords in their collection of accounts.. When I tried using the search page with a search phrase of "orb" I get these statements on the third and fourth pages of results:
- Joseph S.: "There were also souls leaving their human bodies (earthly death) and returning to the Light. I didn't see them actually entering or leaving their earthly bodies. I just knew this to be true. They appeared as orbs of light. The best way to describe it is blips on a radar screen. There were hundreds, if not thousands moving in a constant stream out of the Light and into the Light. I knew as I watched this that we existed as part of the Light before we were born as humans."
- Enrique: "I remember being so disappointed in myself for dying an addict. For a short time, I looked down at myself, lying in the tub with my eyes open. Suddenly, a white, almost blue, sphere/orb appeared. It seemed to speak to me telepathically, saying, 'It's okay, we can go now.'."
- Oliver V.: "I could see, in the distance, a tiny point of light that grew quickly into a glowing disc, or orb. It was emanating an incredible milky white color, yet was very brilliant at the same time, without hurting the eye. This light was radiating an indescribable reassuring calm. All my pain was gone and my only desire was to reach the light."
- David N.: "A bright orb-shaped sphere came from behind me on my right side, and then moved in front of me. The Spirit /Light changed its shape and appeared before me as a genderless Angel."
- Alex A: "During that flashback, I saw two radiant orbs in the sky from which numerous tall beings were rapidly descending and surrounding both our truck and the road in front of us all the way to the hospital."
- Michael G. "Then I saw this large, golden orb in front of me, suspended in the blue. It was close enough to touch, but I didn't. Its surface undulated, like the sea - rising and falling. Immediately, I thought, 'This is the sun,' but then remember saying, 'I am so sorry.' Instantly, without word, I was corrected. This 'orb' in front of me was no 'thing,' it was a personality."
- Carol L: "I see auras and orbs."
- Vicki P.: "I had a severe cold and my mom was 'greasing me up' with Vicks Vaporub. I began to hear a buzzing sound that grew louder and louder. The next thing I knew, I was going rapidly through a tunnel toward a light. I saw small, bright orbs of light accompanying me and I said to myself, 'Angels!' "
- Lou F.: "Structures and landscapes sprung from everywhere all in a crystalline state, all inhabited by these lesser light beings. Some were winged, most not. Some fully formed, others not. Yet even others that appeared only as glowing orbs of light and color, bounced, as would bubbles in a glass of carbonated water."
