This was witnessed while I was home in the Arizona Desert. - slightly northeast of Phoenix/Mesa about a week ago (Dec 26, 2006). As my family and I were driving down a secluded dirt road in the middle of the desert, my mom leaned out the window to snap a quick photo of the jeep ahead. There was a lot of commotion, bumping of the jeep, noise etc..Therefore her attention would not have been focused on the sky above. No one's was….

Upon arriving home and unloading the images onto the computer, we noticed that one of them had a hazy white disk-shaped object in the sky. It was almost as if it was flying at a high velocity due to the way it produced a rather odd purple haze around it. I am not physicist but, was it really atmospheric burn-off? None of the other clouds around it had this coloring.

Of course, I thought it was awesome that she captured this on “camera”.. As a result, I immediately took the image, and inverted it to find out if it was real - and not some scratch on the lens or some piece of dust. From my knowledge, there is no way this was not something in the sky.

Things to Note:
1. No pictures before or after have aberrations.
2. My mother would not have altered the photograph. She is not the type to do that.
3. No other clouds surrounding the object have a purple haze.
My mother has given me permission to re-distribute this image. Thanks.

This photo was taken on August 13, 2006 at York Factory, Manitoba. The photo was taken to the south of Silver Goose Lodge, just across the stairs and bridge over the creek at approximately midnight. My friends and me were taking photos using a digital camera, taking advantage of the darkness for effect. At the time there was much talk of polar bears in the area, and a mother and two cubs were spotted near earlier that day. Playing on the anxiety of the possibility of a polar bear encounter, my friend wanted a photo taken where he was looking startled in an off-camera
direction at something in the woods, as if something like a bear was near. Upon examination of the photo, the object to his left was discovered. The photo has been attached, you have my permission to post it.

Hello,

These photos were taken in a cabin in the Laguna Mountains last weekend. The first day I was there I took pictures and didn’t catch anything, I actually wasn’t trying to. The second night we were there was a long exhausting night for me. When we first got there, we had a slight uneasy feeling but discounted it to being in a new place. Saturday night we roasted marshmallows and told stories and sat in front of the fireplace and popped corn just as we had Friday night. I got out my camera and snapped a few pictures of my boys sitting by the fire and saw that I’d picked up an orb, I snapped a few more and nothing. Before we decided to go to bed I took one more and caught yet another orb and this one was VERY bright. Well, this didn’t make me uneasy at all because I am a firm believer that spirits DO walk among us. This orb excited me so I went to take a few more pics and discovered that my batteries had drained and they were freshly charged and only a week old, so I replaced them with freshly charged batteries and those were also drained. Beings that I wasn’t going to get any more orb pics I decided to go to bed, and this was around 11:30 or so. Everyone retired for the evening and I laid in bed thinking over the days events making sure no little ones got up to wander thinking I was asleep. A little while after, I started smelling wood smoke and it got stronger and stronger. YES we were in an area where people build fires in their cabins BUT it was close to midnight and this smell grew SO strong that my head was pounding, it smelled like the smoke was in my bedroom. I kept getting up to make sure nobody had carelessly started a fire, but I saw nothing. After laying back down the second time, the bed started shaking, it felt like there was a big dog under the bed scratching. I thought at first it was my boy friend being restless in his sleep, but it went on and on….I was just about to kick him out of bed when I realized he was lying perfectly still. I laid there wondering what this could be and feeling a bit shaken when I started feeling a bit disoriented and dizzy, I thought maybe I had breathed in too much of this smoke smell. By 4am I was so exhausted and disoriented that I just passed out. When I awoke at 9am I hurt from head to toe and felt like I had been through something, I could barely get myself into the shower. My boy friend and kids packed the car while I showered and after I was ready we left. The moment I got into the car I felt absolutely fine, just an hour before I hurt in EVERY joint and my head felt like it was going to explode. I LOVE camping and the outdoors and adore the Laguna Mountains BUT I will NEVER stay in THAT cabin again.
I was told that there was an earthquake that night near the Salton Sea, a 1.2 on the richtor scale…I doubt that I would have felt that as far away as I was AND I doubt it would shake every few minutes from Midnight to 4am.
I just thought I’d share my story.

Thank you

Hi.. my name is Donna and we took these pictures at the Yuma Cemetery yesterday around 8:30.Can you tell us if any of these are real orbs, or just dust? And what is the light in the left hand corner? There was no light there, but it might just be a bug. We're not sure. We would really appreciate your comments!! :o) Thank
you.

NOTE FROM DON: With Donna's permission I am posting and using these photos to help teach others what to look for when taking pictures. Donna is one of the few that called every picture she sent me right by using her common sense. Remember the third rule of ghosting Don't be so quick to jump to a paranormal reason for a anomaly in a photo.

Dons note I agree with the sender and believe this is an insect in flight.

This picture there may be some true orbs but most are dust so this would automatically debunk the photo.

Here we have an orb but one must remember orbs are made up of energy so this does not mean there is a ghost just that there is a high energy field or "HOT ZONE"

Notice how the orb by the tree does not have its round shape this leads me to believe it is dust or pollen.

Special thanks to Donna for letting us post her photos.
