EVIDENCE > Orbs The controversy about "Orbs" seems to have begun in 1974 when parapsychologists Kerry Gaynor and Barry Taff were studying THE ENTITY case of Carlotta Moran in Culver City, California and saw strange lights. Gaynor said "We were seeing little pops of light. They would happen quickly. We would try to shoot the camera, but they were happening too quickly and we just couldn't catch them. We were shooting with a Polaroid and with a 35mm camera." Taff described the lights as "three dimensional, greenish-yellow to-white balls of light." Gaynor also said "But I was very concerned that somebody was faking it by projecting light onto the wall. So I said to it, 'If you're really here, come off the wall. I didn't think anything would happen. But then the light pulled right out of the wall and floated into the middle of the room. It started spinning and twisting and expanding in different directions simultaneously. I had nine professional photographers shooting every angle of that room. It was extraordinary because it was floating in the middle of the room and the light was dimensional. It is very difficult to fake something like that. If you project light, you have to project it onto a flat surface. You can't project light into empty space unless you have some kind of very sophisticated laser system. This was not likely a sophisticated hoax because this house had twice been condemned by the city, and the investigators had sealed off the entire bedroom. Nobody could go in or out during the photo session." Gaynor also said "What we saw was not what ended up in the photograph. We were seeing balls of light, but the photo shows arcs of light over the woman's head." If the anomalies in your photos appear to be similar to these, they could be legitimate representations of paranormal energy. In fact, physicists are currently examining what they consider to be a new form of matter involving collections of molecules (Fermion Super-fluids) that look like this.
