The implications that we are "surrounded by a cloud of witnesses" are enormous and incredibly hopeful for the world at large. In The Orb Project, two researchers present their fascinating discoveries about the nature of orbs, the situations in which their presence could be most easily detected, and what implications they might have for understanding humans place in the cosmos.

The implications that we are "surrounded by a cloud of witnesses" are enormous and incredibly hopeful for the world at large. In The Orb Project, two researchers present their fascinating discoveries about the nature of orbs, the situations in which their presence could be most easily detected, and what implications they might have for understanding humans' place in the cosmos.

The authors have taken hundreds of thousands of photographs of orbs, so they offer practical tips that amateur digital photographers can use to capture images and properly distinguish them from false orbs, those that are dust or water particles and not emanations from spirit beings.

They also offer guidelines on deciphering the orbs' various patterns, features, and characteristics. Once a person has become experienced in photographing orbs, it's possible for the brain to stop censoring these images, and he or she can begin to see orbs with the naked eye—in more color and detail than is possible through a digital camera.
