Mystery of Orbs Solved!

Results from the 4/ 23/05 tests
at the Seattle Museum of the Mysteries

Museum member Maryann Synder's claim that orbs are simply cellulose particles of a very
small size or small water droplets reflecting back the
flash from digital cameras appears to be confirmed by tests.
The museum believes orb testing can be confirmed by photographers and other paranormal investigators
and encourages independant testing.

Now this only explains the mystery of the origins of orbs by recreating in a controlled setting.
Orbs being defined as lights with circular and semi-transparent features.
This does not explain all lights, light balls or other still unexplained paranormal activity!
