Given where the flash is located on a number of these cameras, dust and other particles are easily illuminated.

This may not come as a surprise given newer cameras capture a higher amount of dust orbs than older photos do. In recent years, with the increased use of digital cameras, there has been a rise in the “orb phenomena” with a number of people reporting to see orbs both indoors and outdoors in seemingly ordinary conditions. Many believe that when orbs appear in particular locations, it’s a sign that angels are close by and the location is blessed. When these orbs are captured on camera, it is believed to be sign that those in the photograph are protected by angels, and blessed with goodness and positive energy.

These are often referred to as “spirit orbs” or “angel orbs” and are thought to be the souls of people. While some believe that orbs are no more than dust particles or drops of moisture on a camera lens, others believe they are proof of ghosts, or guardian angels caught on camera. But what are these unusual balls of light and what might they be telling us, if anything? They have also been reported to be seen above fields with crop circles, at funerals, at births and in other facets of life. They have been captured anywhere from the great outdoors, in churches, schools, burial grounds, constructions sites, and indoors, among others. Sometimes they appear as a multitude of spots grouped together. These balls of light come in different shapes, colors and sizes. At some point, you’ve probably witnessed them – orbs, transparent balls of light commonly found in photos and also seen with the naked eye in certain instances.
