He-hey! good work Halide, I tried it with mine but the flash is too far from the lens (it's a bit of a fancy posh camera) and it didn't work for me.

You couldn't post a copy of one of the images could you to show us could you?

As for the streaky line/light thing though I'm still not sure.

Great stuff Halide, thanks for posting that. I thing the Orbe mystery is solved!

your orbes even have the little nipples!!

Halide thanks for trying the experiment out i didnt get a chance to last night , however there is still one difference with your orb and mine. The difference is i saw my orb with the naked eye and attempted to photograph it. In the one photo labeled whats this i did not see with my eyes until the photo was enlarged and it most likely is one of these dust orbs. The other orb that is yellow is a photo of where i zoomed in on the object that was makeing the squigly lines as it was moving.

I've seen that before when I took pics of rain. Very similar.

Ok, well I was just trying to prove that MOST "orbs" are simply tiny particles captured by the camera flash.

The little squiggly UFO is kind of interesting

I still think these 3 images contain camera flash related artifacts...The one with the blurry looking trail could have been a small hair at several inches from the flash, and, well...that's my hypothesis.
