Orange Sky Orbs: A Retrospective (Part 1)

 Below are some photos I previously took of mysterious orange orbs in the sky. All of the photos were taken in clean, dry air when there was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation. None of the objects photographed was the moon. 

The photo below shows a mysterious orange orb (with a kind of purple tinge) that I photographed near the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York. 

The photo below shows a mysterious orange orb I photographed near a building on Park Avenue in New York City.

 

The photo below shows a mysterious orb I photographed above a building. The moon on this night was less than a half moon.

In the top right of my photo below, we see an orange sky orb that rather seems to be inside a larger red sky orb.

The photo below shows a mysterious orb I photographed in the sky in 2019:

Below is my 2017 photo showing a very unusual pair of orange-colored sky orbs near a building in New York.

Mystery Orbs Mentioned in a Scientific Paper

 The scientific paper "The New Science of Unidentified Aerospace-Undersea Phenomena (UAP)"  (which you can read here) has many authors. The paper has this passage on page 13:

"During the last years of World War II, Allied pilots, in both the European and Pacific theaters, began reporting unidentified aerial phenomena that in daylight appeared to be small metallic, sometimes translucent, spheres; and at night appeared to be spherical lights ranging from red to yellow in color [74]. These objects, which earned the nickname 'foo fighters', would often pace the airplanes, sometimes flying right off their wingtips. Reports were made by pilots from the RAF, the Polish Division attached to the RAF [73], the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), the South African Air Force (SAAF) [75], and the United States Army Air Force (USAAF) [75, 73, 65, 76]."

We also have this reference on page 17:

"One of these events was witnessed by test pilot Major J. C. Wise as he prepared to perform a test of the XP-84 jet. The object was spherical in shape and was flying against the wind at an estimated speed of at least 200 mph."

Around pages 20-21 we read of the observation by many of "green fireballs," seen in New Mexico in December 1948 and January 1949.  We read this:

"Throughout December 1948 and January 1949, the number of green fireballs observed in New Mexico continued to increase and were observed by Air Intelligence Officers at Kirtland AFB, Air Defense Command officials, a number of distinguished scientists at Los Alamos, as well as La Paz, himself. In addition, astronomer Clyde Tombaugh, the discoverer of Pluto (and more than 15 asteroids), had observed a total of three green fireballs during the wave, which he claimed 'were unusual in behavior compared to normal green fireballs' [95]."

We are told that in February 1949  a conference was called to discuss their origin, a conference including the famous physicist Edward Teller.  We read this:

"La Paz insisted that the green fireballs could not be meteors because their trajectories were too flat, their color too green, and that no meteoritic material had been recovered. Teller maintained that since no sound, or sonic boom, was associated with them, they could not be meteors but must be some kind of electro-optical effect [65]. The conference ended with the consensus being that the green fireballs were some kind of natural non-meteoritic phenomenon."

The paper also has this passage on page 57:

"The 'Hessdalen lights' [259] represent the prototype of anomalous light phenomena in the atmosphere. They generally consist of multi-shaped and multicolored balls of light, characterized by a long duration, and sometimes by high-energy emission. The lights range in size from half a meter to 30 meters. Very short-lasting 'flashes' in the sky most often precede Hessdalen Light phenomena. Sometimes plasma-like orbs overlap with the transient appearance of apparently structured phenomena. The reason for this connection is not known yet, but it should be investigated in depth."

The next page refers to this:

"3. The constancy of temperature, the self-containment characteristics of the light balls, and the coexistence of white and red spheres of equal size. 

4. The sudden way in which the phenomenon turns on and off, and the formation of clusters of light balls, also with characteristics of the expulsion of secondary orbs."

An Orb Gradually Forming Into the Figure of a Child?

The 500+ page book "Essays From the Unseen" (which you can read here) is a massive 1885 testimonial by a person claiming to have seen many paranormal wonders.  We do not know the author's name, as he puts only a name of A. T. T. P on his title page. As evidence for the paranormal the book must be classified as less than first-class, only because of the author's refusal to give his name. There were very many people in the nineteenth century who claimed to have seen similar wonders, but who boldly gave their full names (and often even their addresses) when reporting their observations. When you have such a situation, the person too timid to give his name must be classified as a second-class witness. 

The orb-relevant part of the book comes on page 45, when the author states this:

"On one occasion I was sitting at No. 15, Southampton Row, in the company of several others, the Sensitives present being Miss Wood, and a Lady of the name of Fairlamb, and Mr. Herne, a well-known medium, when the figure of a small negro child of four or five years of age, whether boy or girl I did not know, gradually formed from a Ball of light at my feet. I put my hand on the crisp Negro hair of the child. This figure afterwards disappeared in the same manner as it formed, that is, gradually."

We should not exclude this claim merely because of its fantastic-sounding claim, as many similar wonders were reported by witnesses who gave their names and all the details of their observations, including relevant dates and places of observation. You can read about some of their accounts by looking at the 11 posts here. 

Pairs and Trios of Sky Orbs: A Retrospective (Part 3)

Below are some photos I previously took of pairs and trios of mysterious orbs in the sky. All of the photos were taken in clean, dry air when there was no fog, mist, rain or precipitation. 

Below is my 2017 photo showing a very unusual pair of peach-colored sky orbs near a building in New York. 

Below from 2018 is my photo showing two sky orbs near a building. 

My 2018 photo below shows two orbs near St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York. 

In my 2018 photo below you may notice the second orb, as it overshadowed by the transparent orb above it. 

My 2018 photo below shows two blue sky orbs:

Do We All Start Out as Orbs?

Below (from page 153 of the document here) is a quotation from a writer who claims to be summarizing what he has read in other texts:

"In consonance with the foregoing extracts from various authors, we are led to summarize as follows: 

Man is a detached portion of spirit essence from the Deific Center. 

He is endowed with deific attributes. 

The detached portion of spirit essence is in the form of a globe or resembling a spherical ball of light. 

This globule or spheroid is dual in its nature and possesses the sex qualities of male and female, or positive and negative principles of relationship.

In the course of time the spherical globe is attracted to earth on magnetic or electrical waves and, dividing, take up their abode in the human fetus as separate entities at the moment of conception."

I don't know whether this speculation is correct, but I do know that the origin of each human body is a miracle of organization a thousand miles over the heads of today's scientists, who have no credible explanation for such a marvel of hierarchical assembly, particularly given the lack of any specification in DNA or its genes of how to make a human body or any of its organs or any of its cells. Very many scientists have lied about this topic, trying to explain the origin of a human body by telling the fairy tale that DNA or its genes have a blueprint for building a human body. No such thing exists in DNA or its genes.  The hierarchical organization of the human body is depicted in the diagram below. None of the seven higher levels of organization are specified by DNA or its genes. In the post here I quote dozens of scientists confessing that DNA or its genes are no program, blueprint or recipe for building a human body. 

Besides lacking any credible explanation for how there occurs the progression from a speck-sized zygote to the vast state of hierarchical organization that is a full human body, scientists lack any credible explanation for the origin of human minds.  For a discussion of very many reasons why there is no credibility in  the "brains make minds" dogma of scientists, see my site here. 

For a post describing the failure of scientists to credibly explain the origin of the minds and bodies of adults humans, see my post here, entitled "Why We Do Not Understand the Origin of Any Adult Human Being."  The failure is of the greatest philosophical importance, as it points to the necessity of postulating a purposeful causal reality greater than humans.
