I know we have all seen flying dust combined with flash at night, or lens flare when you snap a shot pointed near the sun. I agree the only explanation for these happenings is the supernatural. Any other explanation just does not make sense. There is also some cool blue light up there in the tower, This can only be explained as being the lookout ghost for the purple one.

Orbz are charged particles picked of dust up by the camera because of light energy

You seem to have missed the sarcasm.

In your case the orb is mysteriously at the same X-Y position in both photos.

We need a paranormal investigator to inspect this further. Does anyone in the UER community know of a paranormal investigator????

If it looks like a wolf, acts like a wolf, and howls like a wolf, it's probably an asshole.

and the "Jesus Christ, not another orbz thread" has it!

Orbz are actually all of the above, they're caused by alien charged dust which were once pieces of frisbees and now they're fractal pieces of the whole, like a ghost of the original, and when people take pictures of them we all thing "Jesus Christ, not another orbz thread!", and we assume that it was probably taken in a place where there was someone pointing a gun at you, and since aliens don't like guns, well, there you have it. Orbz.
(this is also the result of camera's being fed drugs, but camera's enjoy drugs, so that's not an issue)

Give a person a match and they'll be warm for a minute, but light them on fire and they'll be warm for the rest of their life. =)

Ummm, not mine, thank you very much. It’s been “clean” for 3 years now.

ORBZ ON MY MOUTH!! *GASPS!*

I just noticed this. It would have otherwise been a good picture.

You have a cheap uv filter on your lens? Uncoated filters can do weird things to flare.

Wasn't my lense.. I'm the one in the shot. Unless you meant the lense on my light.. but it's a $60 surefire clamp-on diffuser lense on my HP20 headlamp.

If you meant the lense on his camera, he's using a really nice DSLR, which style, I'm not sure. But it's more camera than *I* would ever carry into a mine, that's for damn sure. His other shots have turned out really well, but the mine dust occasionally wreaks havoc with shots. Sometimes its orbz galore.
Different minerals in the dust affect the light in different ways.

Either that or an alien hocked a loogie on my chin... which I think is more likely.

I was replying to the OP yeah. Cheap filter + good glass = bad flare.
