If you believe Drunvalo Melchizedek, in this video he claims they are people:

Snow flurries, or rain droplets i'm guessing. I'm not a photography expert.

I'm sorry but those are dust particles. For starters, you've got a dirt ground and a lot of people who're stirring up the ground when they walk. Plus, you have a fire.

99.99% of all orbs caught on camera are rain droplets or dust. There are only a few instances where I truly believe people have caught a real orb, and that's usually on video.

Don't mean to be a debunker though.

it is neither rain droplets or snow...That much is fact. I appreciate your response.

Thank you for your opinion...I am in agreement that 99% can be attributed to natural means...As i have stated there was neither rain or snow.Although dust surely cannot be left out...What about the "brighter" looking spheres?
can that be created by dust/debris?

I appreciate the responses...I just wanted to put these out there and see what you guys/gals thought...Thank you for the input!

Looks like dust to me, especially considering there's no grass and all the people walking around that area kicking the dust up. Not to mention what the fire is putting into the air.

I'm afraid that's just a load of tiny dust particles. The camera picks them up because as they travel they reflect the light from flash of the camera, and any other light source nearby. Some appear brighter than others because the varied nature of their shapes and movements. The world is completely filled with tiny dust particles so its hardly surprising, ever seen them floating in a shaft of light coming through your window in the morning?

THIS is a slightly more convincing Orb as you can see it has a nucleus of sorts.

Thank you for all the responses...I research many different subjects and honestly orbs are not one of them hence the lack of experience/knowledge of genuine indicators of "real" orbs...I appreciate the time and answers so far given.

As an avid photographer, i've been in this situation many times, and especially when a flash is used outdoors, even something your eye can't see, the lens on the camera with a sudden burst of bright light from the flash can bring out many a strange phenomenon on film/digi card.

Sorry bud, seen it too many times...would love to think it was i really would, but experienced it myself

Thanks for the response
always next time around

Not sure myself.... I have taken many outdoor night shots using flash and have never had these "Orbs" enter any pics, and yes, plenty of dust in Queensland!

Nice catch.... whatever they are!

Thanks for posting

Something I did fail to mention is when we reviewed the pictures we had taken that evening the "orbs"/dust particles suddenly showed up from frame to frame..That was the first thing that caught our eye...one sec/min. nothing.. all was normal and then the anomalies popped up.

with all of those kids running around i'm going to have to go with the dust idea. but if it were spirits they are having one heck of a party as well.

Pictures of 'orbs' are the lowest life form on the paranormal front. I have never, nor have I ever heard anyone, seriously consider any photo's of orbs as anything resembling proof of paranormal activity. And in the rare case where an orb like manisfestation does have credability, it always has superior charesteristics that far surpass whats present in these photos or the many alike. Charesteristics like higher definition, light emmision, shadowing, ect..

However, I would much rather all orb photos/videos simply be discarted unless clear and present paranormal intelligent design and dimension is displayed. I think photos like these do more damage towards the paranormal field than add anything.

I was simply asking opinions on the photos I uploaded.never did I state they were real or paranormal.
as I have stated I do not protest to be any kind of photographic expert,I know very little about orbs and similar pictures(It is not what I am into nor study)...Hence the reason I posted here and asked for those who are more knowledgeable.

Ofcourse. My appologies for the little rant, however I believe my opinion on you photo and thoes like it were indeed well stated in my post also.

Fully understandable and I remain a skeptic until proving otherwise on a number of topics.
I just wanted to relay that I did not necessarily say/believe that the photos I posted were proof.

Just wanted a second opinion and some scrutiny from more informed individuals with this subject matter and for that I thank all of those whom have responded.
