We have a simlilar impression, though I'd formulate it differently: We have the impression that some people are able to see things in the sky which others can't. You could call it a special talent. The British UFO researcher Albert Budden has described how such a talent could develop. >She also told me that this type orb is believed to be energy >left by someone deceased.

This kind of stuff fascinates me and >I don't disbelieve anything anymore. Twickel Watch is using scientific methods to get answers to questions. So far we haven't come across evidence that orbs or light phenomena are energies left by someone deseased. Do you know the Paul Devereux' books about earth lights? He has interesting ideas about the cause of so called earth lights. Best wishes, Frits Westra -- fwestra@...
