Translucency Variations

We see below a mysterious orb I photographed indoors.  There is a variation in translucency, with the outer part of the orb being less translucent than another part of the orb. 

The Words Under the Orb

When I get an orb appearing with words behind it, I sometimes wonder whether my attention is being called to the words underneath the orb. The words on the air conditioner label under the orb include the words "electric" and "voltage."  Conceivably this could be an indication of an electrical nature of orbs.  

It would make an interesting experiment to tape up on a wall some pieces of paper with letters or words, and to then take some photos, to see whether orbs might appear next to the pieces of paper in a way that would form a message.

Orb Shows Up for the "Out-of-Body Experience" TV Scene

 The TV series "Mission Unexplained" that can be watched on HBO Max is a well-done series concentrating on first-hand accounts of hard-to-explain experiences, delivered by named witnesses. I was watching today one episode in which a witness described an out-of-body experience in which she seemed to float above her body. As the event was described, I took out my camera, to see whether I could get a mysterious orb. Just as the TV show was starting to depict the out-of-body experience, visualizing an observer floating above his own body on a bed, I did get something unexplained in the right corner of my photo, as shown below. 

Early in the next episode I watched, we get a witness describing a huge mysterious orb he saw with his unaided eye. He says it "was gargantuan" and that it "illuminated the entire atmosphere."  Episode 7 of Season 1 of the series has a named witness saying he saw "this ball of light was absolutely the brightest thing in the sky by magnitudes." He says it made a 90 degree left hand turn, and that this repeated numerous times. 

One episode of the series depicted an account of someone on a naval ship seeing a ghost. While the guy was mentioning seeing a transparent ghost, I took a few pictures, and got the transparent orb below:

Its Strange Features

We see below a mysterious orb I photographed indoors. We see three features: a ring near the outer edge of the orb, a yellow glow on the bottom left, and a strange kind of half-circle (rather purple-looking) on the bottom left.

We see below a bright orb that appeared on the right edge of a photo I took. I almost never get orbs on the edge of a photo.  I have only one other photo tagged as "orb on edge of photo."

Colorful Orbs

Below we see some colorful orbs I photographed indoors recently. In the yellow orb (near a chair) it is odd that most of the orb seems transparent, but not the left edge.
