This is really SPOOKY!

Hi,

Thats what I thought...Electromagnetic interference will really do some funky things...and if it is high enough, it will even make you see things. The dog would sense it though...wouldn't it?

Yes, that is where I am coming from:

1. "Project Rainbow" had the second largest budget in WWII after "Project Manhatten" Not a good codeword IMHO given that the rainbow is the humanly visible part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum :D

2. A dog's pads are not insulated, so it might be expected to sense ground sourced EMF better than we ever could. Also, furry animals are much more sensitive to static than we are.

As for psychic phenomena, from what I have heard and read, a dog or cat will either stare fixedly at the source, or run like hell, no matter how much it loves you. Aeallison's comment that his dog just wanted to be picked up, implies that there was a blanket rather than a point source?

On the other hand I can see C9's angle: these things can be faked...............well that's a good thing, because judging from the films and TV I have seen over the past 30 years, there would not be any Americans left, as you would all have killed eachother; and John Wayne would have wiped out half the population of Japan on his own :)

I took my first ghost photograph when I was around 12 years old. Our house was built in 1733, so it looked the part. The method was very simple: Take a Nikon 35mm SLR camera, a tripod and an electronic flash gun. Mount it in the drawing room (a large reception room) and measure the distance...........calculate flash settings and divide by three................take first picture..........press advance disengage button and re-**** the shutter...........set timer, and go and pose as "ghost"..........re-**** the shutter and take last picture as picture #1.

The results were every bit as good as the supposed "genuine" ghost photos that you see.

I am awaiting the results of Aeallison's experiments with interest and am taking a reversed social engineering viewpoint. As C9 has ably demonstrated, it is easy enough to fake, so why bother?

OH!.........C9?..................well, you always get the truth with hexadecimal :D

I have not been able to find my compass (I just bought a different home and am in the process of moving) I will try to borrow or buy one by the weeks end.

As for the faked .gif C9 so painfully :D created, I commend you on your efforts, I did say that I saw no difference, but after viewing side by side I am sure all will agree there are major differences. I again am holding my stance on this being an un-retouched original vid I submitted. :p

Hi all,

The test with the compass revealed nothing at all, no magnetic oddities. My dog also was un-affected upstairs or anywhere else. Any more ideas?

If you have, or can borrow a reel to reel tape deck, you could set it up to record at night. There might be some sort of sound related to your orb, or to the causes behind it.
Just a thought.

I guess I have now to go for the transformers up the block, and humidity?

The dog should have sensed the other stuff.

Have you tried a minister of religion?

I am afraid that I am running out of ideas?

Cheers

I'll have to go with the transformer and humidity as well. Lets theorise a little bit more ;)....I'm sure we've thought about it, but haven't thrown the idea on the table...but static electricity? Indeed the object behaves in a manner which would lead to a life form, or "undead" for that matter...but I really think there's a scientific explanation to this. Would you be able to give me the name of the city, and/or address of this store?

Hey aeallison, you are a real sport...............a lot of people would have thought me mad :)

There are a few of us who are interested, and I do believe in the supernatural, as it happens, but not in this case........it looks like an unusual physical phenomenon to me.

Would you mind if I involved someone outside of AO?......a trusted relative with considerable scientific knowledge............he may be able to borrow some "bits" for us.........and he does have some USN contacts............and project Rainbow was one of theirs?

Don't worry.........no SEALS....maybe a few minutes of a scientist's time :) if we are lucky, and my cousin is interested.

I will await your OK or not......otherwise it remains in this forum

I hate to be a turd.

From examining the video closely the entity is entirely comprised of light.

The magnitude of the light is similar to that of a laser pointer but not that intense.

Its shape also varies a little to much for it to be the same. (Glass Refraction)

At the rear of the image when it appears to be changing direction it infact still appears visibly brighter than the surrounding objects.

Theory 1. Does the shop have a window near a street where cars are likely to be driving ?
The angles of reflection could be true with a concave window and the sharp jerk in the middle could be when it splits between panes ?

Theory 2. AEAllison infact knows the cause but none the less has a kewl orbing video.

I've made numerous pics simmilar to that one..
Most of 'm were drops of rain or dew reflecting my camera's flash..



As for ball-lightning.. I've seen it once.. was spectacular.. it "ran" thrue the rain-gutter and finaly flew into a home (thrue the (closed) window) setting it on fire..

Usualy the ball only causes "trouble" at the end of the path (which, if it was a ball unfortunately isn't in the vid)..

I think that we decided that the spots were dusts reflecting from the camera's flash. They make a cool picture though. ;)
