They Saw an Orange Orb

 On page 109 of the 2007 book Ghost Worlds,  Melba Goodwyn states this:

"My first experience with orb phenomena came at the age of twelve...Suddenly, from seemingly out of nowhere, a huge orange sphere appeared before me. It was a little above my direct sight and as large as a big beach ball. It was pulsating and its very distinct color would fade and deepen in intensity as I watched it....I was astonished as it gently floated right through my midsection! I gasped as I felt it pass through my body...Deep down I knew that I had experienced a spiritual visitation of some sort."

My Facebook page "Spirit Orbs" now has over 2000 followers. Its photos are the same as those I published on this site, but some may find it to be a more convenient way to view my orb photos. You can see the photos here:

Replying to a recent album I published at that site, one Facebook user states this:

"An orange orb entered my room and turned my whole room orange. I'll never forget it."

Government Sky Cams Spot Orbs

In the Daily Mail today, we have a story showing a picture of a metallic-looking orb. The photo was taken from some US government spy drone. We read this:

"One source who had seen the report described dozens of videos on classified servers showing metallic-looking orbs captured by US spy planes or drones in the Middle East – similar to the image released today.

'These drones operate 20-25,000 feet up in the air and they're flying around. We're keeping an eye on bad guys all over the world,' the source said.

'An operator will be zoomed in looking at a town in Syria. And all of a sudden, a little orb will go flying through the viewfinder.

'The operator's like, ''What the hell?'' And so he starts focusing on it and he just watches the orb for a while. We might get it for 30 seconds, we might watch it for 10 minutes. And then it will do something remarkable, like suddenly bolt off the screen.' "

Spooky Spot

Below we see the latest example of the "precipitation selectivity" effect I have documented in my backyard since August of 2022. I notice the effect when it has started to rain or snow. One of the cement rectangles in my backyard (always the same one) will seem to receive almost all of the raindrops that have fallen. In the post here you can see a dozen  photos I have taken showing such an effect on previous days. 

When I took the photo above on January 14, 2023, I noticed something very odd besides the "specificity" of the precipitation: the appearance of about 30 leaves behind the smallest of the three planters. I had swept up all the leaves from the back weeks ago, so all these leaves appearing behind the small planter seemed like something that had happened in the previous 24 hours. On that day after taking the photo above I cleaned up almost all of these leaves shown above, leaving no more than perhaps two or three leaves in the backyard. I put the leaves in a closed container. 

When I woke up today (January 15) I saw what we see below. Very strangely, I again saw about 30 leaves behind the smallest planter.  The closed container where I had put the leaves shown above was still closed. It seems that for two consecutive days about 30 leaves have mysteriously appeared behind my smallest planter. 

Will this effect just keep occurring, day after day? Stay tuned. 

Update #1 (January 16, 2023): On January 15 I cleaned up all the leaves shown above. When I awoke on January 16 I found the backyard looking about the same as in the photo above, with about 30 new leaves, all near the small planter.  Every other spot in the yard had basically no leaves. All of the trees that drop leaves have been empty of leaves for weeks. On January 17 I found no leaves in the backyard. It was as if the strange effect had abruptly stopped. 

Update #2 (February 7, 2023):  On this day I noticed about 10 leaves behind the planter, looking like the photo above, but with far fewer leaves. There were no other leaves in the backyard. The backyard had been cleared of all leaves about February 1. 

Spooky Start

We see below a strange luminous-looking line I noticed upon waking up this morning and looking outside. It wasn't snow. The temperature this morning where I live was greater than 50 degrees, and the sky was perfectly blue. Maybe it was a little rainfall. It strangely made a bright figure 1 when I viewed it from the second floor. But why so even a line?  I may wonder whether this is some omen regarding something that may occur 1 time unit in the future -- 1 day, 1 week, 1 month or 1 year.
