Orb shot with zoomimg orb being observed by two other orbs

I am a member of a world-wide group of photographers, some amateur, some professional, and we study the orb phenomenon, or the so called "white spots"that everyone is complaining about. Not all of these spots are dust, water droplets, lens flares or whatever else excuse one can come up with to try to explain them away with. We have been studying this for over 3 1/2 years, and have learned quite a few things about them. They show signs of being intelligent and aware of humans, and they will respond to requests either verbally or mentally to do such things as glow brighter or fainter, change size, shape, or color, move in certain directions, even smile! Yes, some of them DO have faces. We have discovered that almost (if not all) everyone has at least one and possibly more that follow them around, no matter where they go, even following you down the road in a vehicle. Each person's orbs have distinctive markings that differintiate them from other orbs, and the same ones will show up time after time in their photos. We don't know exactly what they are, but we suspect that they may be a type of guardian spirit or energy. No one has EVER been hurt by these orbs, indeed, when they don't show up for a while (which they have a habit of doing every now and then) people feel a loss until they come back. We have coined a term for the ones that seem to be most closely attached to a person- "companion orb". If anyone is interested in checking out my claims, you may go to Orbs@yahoogroups.com and look through our archives. There are literally thousands of photos and experiences of our members there. That site is closed to members now, but is open for research. We have started another site Universal Orbs@yahoogroups.com that is open for membership, but can be accessed without joining, if you would just like to read the messages and view the photos. Here is one of my photos that I took in my backyard over a year ago. I had asked my orbs to do something spectacular, and as I took this photo I SAW the orb as it shot upwards. It was so bright that it reminded me of a nuclear explosion. If you look carefully at the orbs above and below the one zooming upward(we call those shooters) you will notice that they are turned toward the shooter. The one at top left is looking downward, and the one on the ground is looking upward. I have hundreds of photos in my personal files of orbs in all kinds of situations. I also have orbs in many different colors, even rainbow colors. I know the difference between lens flare, dust, and water droplets, and orbs are none of those. If anyone wishes to correspond with me concerning this, or would like to see more of my photos, I can be contacted at benpin22@earthlink.net.
Sincerely,
Janice Stephenson

  I don't suppose that you even bothered to check out either of my sites before you made your comment. I don't expect everyone to agree with me, but before you make a snap judgement about me or my photography I would expect you to at least make an effort to see what others have experienced about this. And before anyone else makes a smart comment, no, I am not a ghost hunter and I don't believe orbs are ghosts. If you want ghosts, I have photos of those, too, along with nature spirits and other odd beings that I have caught with my camera.

  Oh, thankfully, there are like-minded photographers out there who believe in this sort of stuff...

I had a letter to the editor printed today about my comment about a spirit orb story in the LA Times.

I'll send you a message shortly about this...
