My god , how many times does this have to be stated ?
I defy anybody to post a picture of an "orb" that was taken with a film camera .edit on 29/05/2011 by tpg65 because: (no reason given)[/quote
You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Orbs are very real and have been filmed using old style cameras by the US military many times on their bombing missions over Germany in WW2

As another poster said, there's probably more than one cause. But a lot of them certainly are dust, what makes you believe your avatar isn't dust?

I don't believe that they are dust.....but so far I haven't heard a theory that makes sense to me, in keeping with my own personal experiences with them.
Magnified 22million times, this microscopic photo is of household dust containing long hairs such as cat fur, twisted synthetic and woollen fibres, a pollen grain, plant, serrated insect scales and insect remains.
I see. Well, you may be surprised by this, but there is dust in the air, and it does move around, so it's not surprising it would show up in one shot but not the next.

Well, I don't believe it was dust because it was in the air....and I took consecutive pictures from the same angle right afterwards, showing nothing.
If we do not know the cause we cannot really rule out anything, and is easy to get "orbs" on photos by having dust or moisture in the air, and that is easily proved.

Some people have told me these are souls, some say conscious beings, some say dust particles, but I can say that dust is definitely ruled out as the cause.
In that case they were probably ice crystals, no dust and not on the lens.
