Harvard Astronomer Writes Post "On Mysterious Orbs and Fireballs"

 Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb recently wrote a post entitled "On Mysterious Orbs and Fireballs." One thing I find very strange about Loeb's post is that it has some visuals, almost none of which are photographs of mysterious orbs. Instead, five out of six of Loeb's visuals are water color paintings by artist Greg Wyatt, which include circles, but nothing looking like a mysterious orb. As there exists so many thousands of stunning authentic photos of mysterious orbs (such as you can see on this site), why adorn your article on mysterious orbs almost entirely with water color paintings, rather than choosing some of those photos?  It is surely not because of any permissions hassle. I have had for years on this blog a "Sharing Content" notice saying that content on this blog can be shared elsewhere, as long as there is a link back to this site. The same notice appears on my two other blogs (here and here). 

Loeb fails to include any of the more impressive-looking photos of mysterious orbs, and fails to make any mention of the long-running phenomenon of people getting mysterious orbs in their photos. He also fails to make any appreciable mention of the widely reported phenomenon of people seeing mysterious orbs with the naked eye. This may be another example of the kind of censorship of the spooky that has gone on for so many decades in the writings and teachings of professors. They fail to tell their readers and students of hundreds of the most important types of human observations that such people should be informed about. It is just as if they are following a rule such as "don't mention anything that might cause people to doubt the storyline of materialism." 

Instead of having any mention of the long-standing phenomenon of ordinary people getting mysterious orbs in their photos, Loeb strangely has a long irrelevant paragraph describing the physical effects (such as a very loud sound) that would result if there were to occur a "warp bubble moving at a speed comparable to the speed of light." I have often photographed mysterious orbs that seemed to be moving very fast, showing a "string of pearls" effect in which the camera seems to have captured multiple position states of something moving very fast (one example is below). But no one maintains that mysterious orbs are moving at even a tenth of the speed of light (about 186,000 miles per second). So Loeb's long paragraph about the sound effects and shock effects of an orb traveling at near lightspeed is irrelevant.

Loeb then gives some logic trying to persuade us that if pilot David Fravor had seen what he claimed to have seen, this would have caused a violent shock wave that would have been felt on the aircraft carrier Nimitz, one that was not reported. His reasoning on this is not persuasive. Rather than spending so much time on such armchair reasoning, it would be better use of Loeb's time if he more deeply studied the topic of mysterious orbs and other unexplained phenomena. 

Loeb incorrectly states, "Current scientific research projects focus on known unknowns, such as the nature of dark matter and dark energy." Neither dark matter nor dark energy are "known unknowns." Both are speculative concepts. Neither dark matter nor dark energy has ever been directly observed. Mysterious orbs, conversely, have been directly observed in abundance, both in photographs and by the naked eyes of many observers.
