More Than 20 Orbs in Very Clean Air

Photo date: November 17, 2014. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

At the time this indoor photo was taken of a clean, featureless wall, an air quality monitor showed the air quality was very good, with a reading of  43/2 (anything below 50 is "very good" air according to the monitor's back plate). Dust cannot account for the image, because the air was too clean for dust to be a plausible explanation.   The image below was color-adjusted using the "Auto-adjust colors" menu option in the IrfanView program. Reflective surfaces nearby: none. The picture below is about 75% of the full photo width.  No orbs were seen in photos taken shortly before and shortly after this picture was taken, which argues against any dust explanation.


Below is a flash photograph I took on February 23, 2015 while vacuuming. It shows the same air quality monitor I used to get the  November 17th reading. At the time I took this photo on  February 23, the dust level was very high, rising to 880/382 (which is "Poor" according to the plate on the back of the machine, and almost "very poor").




Below is a closeup showing the reading:


Now in the photo above showing the monitor in very dusty air, there were no orbs visible. There were also no orbs visible in four other photographs taken at the same time. But there were orbs visible in the first photograph, when the air was very clean, with a reading of only 43/2 ("very good" air, according to the back plate of my monitor).

So if we often do see quite a few orbs in flash photos when the air has no dust, but we often don't see orbs in flash photos taken when there is lots of dust in the air, how much credibility does the "orb zone" theory have, the theory that orbs are just dust?  None at all.
