Another Air Orb Too Big to Be Dust

Photo date: November 23, 2014. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

This  indoor photo of a wall shows an air orb with a height of 268 pixels. This means that the orb occupied 16% of the photo size (the full photo had a height of 1704 pixels). This size is incompatible with the "orb zone" theory which maintains that orbs are merely dust. Those who have advanced such a theory have admitted that according to such a theory, orbs should never be larger than 10% of the size of the picture (and, in fact, when you actually raise lots of dust and photograph dust orbs, they are no larger than about 5% of the original photo size).

The original photo is shown below:


Below we see the photo after I used the "Auto-adjust colors" menu option from the menu of the IrvanView program:


Dust level: 335/9 (Fair). No artificial light was involved in the photo area except the camera flash.  No orbs shown in photos taken at same place shortly before and shortly after this photo, which argues against an explanation of dust. No insects observed at the photo site. Nearby reflective surfaces: none.

Remarkably, this orb looks almost identical to another orb that I photographed on October 9, 2014, and which I also tagged as "Air orb too large to be dust." In both cases the orb is very large, has an outer ring, has a maze-like appearance, and has a small red luminous spot near the middle.
