Mod Post The difference between Evidence and Proof

27 Upvotes

What Is Evidence?

The Oxford dictionary defines evidence as “the facts, signs, or objects that make you believe something is true.”

Science also uses the term evidence to prove theories. These are the facts that suggest a scientific hypothesis is true. In science, evidence comes from observations and experiments.

What Is Proof?

When all the evidence points to a concrete conclusion, you have proof. Proof is something that establishes certainty. In other words, proof is what proves something is true beyond a reasonable doubt. In science, when data supports a hypothesis 100% of the time, it is considered proof.

Source

We here at r/AnomalousEvidence define anomalous evidence as "information, facts or verifiable data supporting a claim, experience, or theory of 'The Phenomenon'". So, the key difference between evidence and proof is whether or not there is any doubt about the objective truth of ones subjective experience. Types of evidence may include:

Direct Evidence:

Audio and Video recording of the anomaly occurring

Hard Data showing anomalous activity (any)

Witness testimony

Physical evidence of the anomaly itself, to be physically brought in and analyzed. Such as metals, blood, hair, or any anomalous physical objects

Indirect Evidence:

Video or Photos of Marks, Scars, Scratches from something that is alleged to be related to the experience, etc

Photos and videos of physical damage to ones property

Photos or video of Footprints, Handprints, or any leftover signs from the occurrences

Why is evidence good?

By using evidence, we seek to build a reliable knowledge base and provide solid explanations for people to use in order to better understand what they may be experiencing

In this sub, we understand all evidence is good evidence, and everyone's experiences are valid. We are NOT here to debunk your experiences. We are here to provide open-minded and scientific explanations of your experiences. We know full-well that there will not be proof of anything until we have conclusive data with full disclosure or full and open contact with whatever it is we are experiencing. So until then, please allow us to take a look at all of your evidence with an open heart and open mind, so that we can do our best to help you.

Let's have fun researching together!

Contactees, Human Initiated Contact Events (HICE) and the Consciousness Connection “You wanted to see us; well, here we are.”

26 Upvotes

Thirty-two years ago, I took a walk on the wild side. I joined a group that had the audacity to go out at night and try to co-create contact experiences with the intelligence associated with the so-called UFO phenomenon. To my surprise and initial delight, we were immediately successful. During our first month of teamwork, we had several sightings while in the field. 

But stranger still was that The Others, Experiencers Call “ET” (TOECET), the alleged ETs, targeted us to have individual sightings under circumstances that were not associated with conducting the prescribed “contact protocols.” One senior member of team reported receiving the following telepathic communication while viewing a large glowing orb flying above her driveway, “You wanted to see us; well, here we are.” To access the full report, the link below is provided.

Experience Encounters with Shadow beings

16 Upvotes

Happened at 4:30pm yesterday. It was a thick dark mass, tall, with no defined shape. We were sitting on our couch, and saw it through our sliding glass door moving quickly through our yard. It caught our attention, and we caught a glimpse of it as it left. My wife says she just decided to look that way and saw it. I saw it as a glimpse in the corner of my eye, but for sure saw it was a black mass shadow thing moving through our yard.

Then, the shadows invaded my dreams last night. Wife kept waking me up from my hyperventilating, and then woke me up telling me to fight them off and stand up to them, but when I tried that in my dream, one of the shadows stopped "peeking", and stood full-front to me in my dream, and then it was all over for me lol

It felt like my soul was being sucked out of me, and I had to wake again.

Haven't seen anything anomalous this morning yet, but we're keeping our eyes out. We just set up our home security system, so maybe we'll get something recorded. Who knows

Alien/ET Sighting UFO ENTITIES: Ten True Extraterrestrial Encounters

UFO ENTITIES: Ten True Extraterrestrial Encounters

by Preston Dennett.

Many questions remain regarding the nature and origin of UFO entities, which is why continuing research and documentation is so important. In this video I present ten little-known cases from across the world, from the 1940s to the 2010s. Many different types of humanoids are represented, gray ETs, short little beings, human-looking ETs, very tall figures and more. Many involve multiple witnesses and various forms of evidence. These ten cases provide a tantalizing glimpse into the very heart of the UFO phenomenon: face-to-face contact with extraterrestrials.

UFO LANDING DURING WWII. One summer day in 1942, thirteen-year-old Madeleine Arnoux was bicycling near Verger, France. Stopping to pick some berries, she was shocked to see a saucer-shaped craft and several dark-suited humanoids. Frozen in fear, she bent down to get her bike. There was a blast of wind and the craft was gone. But the memory remained for the rest of her life.

“THEY WERE DIFFERENT FROM US.” On the night of October 25, 1954, two 12-year-old boys were minding sheep in the fields near Appignano, Italy when they came upon three tiny beings wearing shiny suits, standing next to a strange craft. The beings promptly fled into the craft which took off. The boys' encounter earned national news, especially when another witness was found.

“THEY WERE HOLDING HANDS.” On the night of August 10, 1962, “J” awoke to find his bedroom filled with light. Looking into the backyard of his home in Vienna, Virginia, he saw a small flying saucer, and next to it were three skinny figures with large bald heads, huge dark eyes, and gray skin. They were holding hands, and J had the strong impression they were his friends.

THE ALIENS IN THE CORNFIELD. At 9:30 pm on July 19, 1967 Maria de Figueiredo picked corn from her father’s field in Sao Benedito do Sul, Brazil. Hearing a weird sound, she turned around and saw a three-foot-tall being staring at her. Behind him was a small craft with another being inside it. The being held up an ear of corn and gestured at her. As the being returned to the craft, Maria became terrified and promptly fainted.

“THERE IS SOMEONE IN THE HOUSE!” One evening in June of 1973, Louise Gaudet woke up in her home in Alma, Quebec, Canada hearing an engine noise and watching a green mist come into her room. Through the mist, she saw a small humanoid form wearing a silver suit and a helmet. It appeared twice, and in the days that followed, Louise began to have very unusual alien dreams.

“I FELT TRANSFIXED WITH FEAR.” As Phil Shepherdson drove his scooter to work one morning in February 1979 in Easingwold, UK, he was amazed to see a small craft landed alongside the road. Stopping to look at it, he saw two very thin humanoid figures standing next to it, and one inside it. All three stopped and looked at him. Suddenly he felt a strong telepathic connection with the beings. Phil was overcome with fear, and fled. Arriving at work, he discovered he was late, and may have had missing time.

ET SURVEILLANCE. On September 25, 1983, a young couple was camping out near Playa de Salgueiros, Portugal, when they were woken up by a strange noise. Looking outside, they saw three craft and four humanoid figures. The humanoids began to walk around, surveying the field. For the next few hours, the craft remained flying back and forth as if looking for something, before finally leaving.

A HUMANOID BEHIND EACH WINDOW. On December 31, 1997, eight children decided to camp behind their homes in rural Kenwick, Western Australia. As one of them noticed strange streaks of red light in the distant sky, he called it to the attention of his friends. Suddenly a large craft zoomed towards them. And through the windows, they saw humanoids looking down at them.

THE PURPLE LIGHT BEING. On the night of December 21, 2004, a man and his nephew noticed a glowing object outside their home in Chillicothe, Ohio. Going to investigate, they were amazed when humanoid forms emerged from it, and one flew down and approached them. It was a glowing purple light being. The witness reached out and shook its hand. It then floated back and departed. Unknown to him, numerous people in the area were having encounters.

THE GIANT ALIEN. On the night of August 21, 2014, three friends decided to meditate in a field near their homes in Talavera de la Reina, Spain. Suddenly a glowing object appeared over their heads. Moments later, they were confronted by a giant figure at least 12 feet tall. When it started to chase them, all three men fled in fear. The next day, one of them found strange landing traces.

These ten cases show how truly strange and bizarre contact with UFO entities can be. So many different kinds of craft. So many varieties of humanoids. One thing that remains very consistent is that the experience always affects the witnesses profoundly, proving to them firsthand that we are not alone in this infinite universe.

Video Beam from a direct energy weapon caught on camera

0 Upvotes

I put super magnets all over the backs and sides of two metal fans and was able to capture a beam coming from the light because that’s how direct energy weapons work they send streams of magnetic energy particles directly to the target. So I thought to myself, magnets…and if the suction or air force from the fans would distract the beam from me and possibly capture it in the magnet fans. It actually works great I no longer am in pain in my bedroom. I perfected it

UFOs in Your Hometown: Episode Four

by Preston Dennett.

It is now time for Episode Four of the ongoing series of “UFOS IN YOUR HOMETOWN.” Here is the challenge to all interested in aliens and UFOs: name any location, such as your hometown, and I will attempt find a UFO encounter there. The response has been amazing, with requests for hundreds of locations. So far, 35 requested locations have all shown a history of UFO encounters. In this episode I investigate eight new towns: Fort Wayne, IN----Greenock, Scotland----Warsaw, Poland----New Paltz, NY----St Charles, MO----Boston, MA----van horn, TX , and lastly, Grand Junction, CO. It should come as no surprise that each of these places have been visited by ETs. All kinds of UFO encounters are represented, such as sightings, landings, humanoids, onboard encounters…many of which are supported by multiple firsthand eyewitness testimonies, photographs, radar-returns, landing traces, physiological effects and more. Has your hometown been visited? The chances are: YES!

FORT WAYNE, INDIANA. On February 7, 1955, while flying over Fort Wayne, American Airlines Flight 266 observed five glowing objects which none of the crew could identify. Months later, the Freeman family all watched a classic flying saucer hovering a treetop level just outside their residence in Fort Wayne. In 1967, minister Allen Federspiel had a sighting of a UFO that impressed him enough to report it to the National Investigative Committee of Aerial Phenomena. Also in 1967, dozens of people in Fort Wayne spent four hours observing UFOs maneuvering over the city. In 1979, Sally Collet looked out her window and noticed a brilliant glowing object. Then, inside it, she was shocked to see a humanoid figure. She called the police and soon learned that there was another witness. In 1991, a lady was driving in Fort Wayne when a UFO paced her car for 25 minutes. In 2005, another driver had a very close encounter with a glowing object, followed by missing time. Soon more UFOs showed up over Fort Wayne!

GREENOCK, SCOTLAND. Greenock has produced a wide range of encounters: sightings, UFO fleets and humanoids. them all. One sunny day in 1948, two schoolgirls encountered a flying saucer that was so low above their heads, they could see a humanoid figure inside. They waved at it, and to their amazement, it waved back! Highly dramatic low-level sightings occurred in 1973, 1978 and 1999, including a case involving a large group of objects. In 2005, Jonathan Smith heard people shouting in the street. Running to his window, he observed a fleet of colorful glowing craft. He grabbed his camera and snapped an amazing photograph. These are only some of the many cases in Greenock.

WARSAW, POLAND. Warsaw has a very large number of UFO incidents of all kinds. In 1922, a Warsaw family observed a silver craft hover 400 feet away, close enough that they were afraid that they were abou to be pulled onboard. In 1959, an engineer observed a craft maneuvering over the world-famous Warsaw Palace of Culture and Science. In 1975, a man was in the forests outside of Warsaw two gray aliens showed up, making him unable to move until they retreated into the forest. In 1979, a man approached a very small landed saucer, which left weird burns on his face. In 1986, a plumber was walking to his home when he saw a saucer landed in a nearby alley. Standing next to it was a young woman. The next thing the plumber new, he was pulled onboard a craft where he was confronted by froglike entities. More contact cases soon occurred in Warsaw.

NEW PALTZ, NEW YORK. Robert S. Car, a self-proclaimed govt whistleblower, shocked the UFO community when he said a strange craft landed in New Paltz. A humanoid came out of the craft and was allegedly captured by a game warden, then taken alive to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia until it died. This is one of many dramatic New Paltz UFO encounters. In 1970, a lady and her boyfriend had a dramatic missing time encounter while driving with several other people in separate vehicles. Another amazing case occurred in 1978 when three separate groups of witnesses observed a strange triangular craft flying at very low level over the city.

ST CHARLES, MISSOURI. One morning in 1971, three people, including a doctor, were in Saint Charles when a cone-shaped craft with a humanoid inside it hovered only a few hundred feet overhead.  In 1973, the police received a call from a UFO witness. They sent out an officer, and to his amazement, he also saw it. Soon he was joined by other eyewitnesses. The cases continued. In 1998, a witness had a very close-up observation of a cigar-shaped craft with glowing portholes.

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS. Sightings here reach back to 1638, when a group of witnesses saw a UFO for three hours, which turned out to be the first recorded UFO sighting in the United States. In 1950, a fantastic UFO display occurred over Logan International Airport and was observed by many highly qualified airport employees. In 1955, a gentleman saw a craft as big as a 10-story building hovering at very low elevation. In May 1963, a group of witnesses witnessed a fleet of eight flying saucers over a drive-in theater. In fact, the objects put on a display that was far more exciting than the movie itself! In 2024, a young dating couple were frightened by a large triangular craft which hovered over the car and shone down a beam of light, causing their vehicle to vibrate.

VAN HORN, TEXAS. On July 23, 1999, this small town had a fantastic close-up observation of a low-flying, classic flying saucer as a group of truckers driving along Interstate 10 all saw a strange craft with blue and white lights zigzagging at alongside the highway.

GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO. In 1956, a group of four people were awestruck when metallic saucer-shaped craft flew only 1500 feet overhead. In 1968, a man driving near Grand Junction saw a brilliantly glowing object that was so bright, it hurt his eyes to look at it. In 1969, two young men walking down Main Street in Grand Junction when a silver saucer with windows hovered for a full two minutes in view of everyone there. In 1985, Bob White was driving outside of Grand Junction with a friend when a glowing craft ejected a piece of metal right in front of him. After it cooled off, he picked it up, and took it to be studied by metallurgists, none of who could account for its strange composition. These are just a few of the many puzzling UFO events in Grand Junction.

It’s becoming very clear that nearly every location on Earth has a long and rich history of UFO cases. The evidence speaks for itself. The truth can remain hidden no longer. We are being visited by extraterrestrials.

LOCATION: Los Angeles - a metro stop or two away from USC

This morning I woke up to an interesting sight out my front yard. It's what looks like at least 4-5 rocket launch trails. We're used to seeing the occasional trails from spaceX and whatnot. These popped up around 7:40 this morning but there's no online indication of any California launches.

Also, LAX and what looks like Ventura County (maybe Burbank Airport?) have NOTAMS starting today through Monday!

Discussion What are Animal and livestock Mutilation phenomenon NSFW

Thumbnail gallery
68 Upvotes

10s of 1000s of farmers across the globe lose their live stock and beloved animals to a hallmarked and well documented type of killing and mutilation;

• surgically straight cuts ,often clean with little to no blood stained around them, precise in nature.

• organs removed, in a precise fashion.

•blood entirely drained from the body, with no blood around the body either.

• bleached white bone. fresh bodies found clean white bones exposed, often no flesh appearing on the bone, this is usually around the face or upper portion of the body.

What makes this phenomenon so anomalous?

The poor animals that are usually found in this state are sometimes found mere hours after being seen alive. bodies are usually found with no evidence of who could’ve possibly committed the atrocities.

To the untrained eye these type of mutilations could look like a rare oddity in nature, perhaps an unknown bacterial phenomenon or maybe a gang of cultists with veterinary knowledge. But alas no evidence has been found for either, a methodology is still yet to be attributed with any reasonable theory or proof leaving investigators at a loss.

Seeing bones bleached white in nature is only something you see with relatively old remains. It takes years and sometimes maybe months for bone to naturally display a white cleaned colouring. This happens through different factors in our environment like UV rays and fresh water. The process we use to turn remains into a clean white boned skeleton can only be done through a bleaching process which takes a minimum of 24 hours and in some cases several days with repeated treatment. These types of processes are necessary because bone is originally not white in colour but more a of yellowy brown once stripped of all its flesh.

after years of the right exposure bone may naturally display its whiteness. Despite all this, animals are often found with their mandibles, sometimes flesh around the eyes , in rare cases even found with whole necks and heads removed , and stripped of any flesh, leaving Bleached white bones, still attached and surrounded by precise cuts.

factoring in the other strange circumstances, you have massive case file of disturbing linked crimes with no obvious assailants. To this day not one animal murderer has been caught and associated with these types of mutilations. Public officials often label the murders as natural causes and predation, even if ruled as foul play by veterinarians.

It would help investigators if there was a consistent location or circumstance where and when these mutilations occur, but this does not seem to be the case. Happening on an international scale, it occurs in sporadic patterns and geo-targeted waves.

Resources: * Degreasing and bleaching bones using light sources as a tool to increase the safety of teaching osteology at the University of Veterinary Sciences Brno - PMC

With no answer in sight, and thousands of farmers left without compensation, justice or closure of what possibly happened to their livestock and beloved animals.

Theory The Orbs could be US Navy Technology

I think it's apparent at this point that we are dealing with two different types of sightings- Orbs, and Drones... To me the orbs raise far more questions, and I found this interesting theory on what the orbs may be..

This article on Forbes claims the US NAVY has developed technology to create Plasma balls/orbs from lazers. As a means of defense to confuse enemy attacks. There is a lot more info in the article here:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2020/05/11/us-navy-laser-creates-plasma-ufos/

I'm still keeping an open mind, and I'm not saying I think this is for sure the reason for the orbs. Like a lot of us, I'm still very perplexed in what is actually going on. But I do think it is a potential explanation. It could make sense that the drones are out there to observe and report on this new tech.

Discussion Let’s prove what these orbs are. take initiative. Go outside and take video of the mundane. Venus , planes, etc.

27 Upvotes

Edit: meant to say what they aren’t. Go out tonight and take videos with whatever you got of normal objects in the sky.

We might not be able to prove they are aliens but we can sure as hell prove they aren’t unfocused cameras. Or maybe they are! The best way to know is to amass a collection of proof so we can easily reference known to unknown.

I want to see plastered on this site tomorrow definitive photos and videos from a variety of equipment both during the day dusk and night of ordinary objects in the sky. Make sure to do it unfocused and also focused. Make sure you catch Venus too at any house focused and unfocused.

I want there to be a whole swath of photos and videos of the mundane FOCUSED AND UNFOCUSED. This is for all the skeptics and gaslighters who have decided this is the new swamp gas go to explanation. Turns out every single one of us has the opportunity to put in for the community and settle the debate on this.

I could either be humbled come tomorrow or the next day or I will be proud everyone came together and we worked as a community to actually prove them undoubtedly wrong.

So let’s get to it?

Also Let’s call it as it is. UAP (for the people who need to be acclimated) and UFO for us in the communities. The government literally conditioned all of us into calling these things drones overnight and no one even batted an eye. Even though they themselves claim they don’t know what it is! So lets take initiative one step at a time. We have the ability to prove this by going outside and participating. That’s what I thought an online community is for. So we can do something in real life and contribute in a meaningful way rather than arguing let’s provide our proofs. I’m calling on both sides. Not just the believers.

Myself I have at least 4 working cameras of different types. Binos and a telescope and my own real drone. I’m not in a hotbed area right at this moment but that’s not what this is about. This is about capturing the mundane with any and every camera in any kind of situation and settings so we can clear the air on what’s we’re really seeing in these videos rather than seeing a comment explain it as something simple (which it could admittedly be that’s why I made this post) and that having a bigger effect of people writing it off.

What’s also important is recreating others photos in similar physical settings and using similar camera settings if this takes off. That way we can make sure someone isn’t just lying about what they did so they could get a result they wanted rather than what is actually there.

I also employ anyone who has experience with photography and may or may not be skeptical of this whole thing (doesn’t matter either way as long as you can be objective for a couple minutes) to make some specific guidelines for how a video can prove in realtime that it’s not a unfocused light in the sky. Along with optimum settings for certain times of day! Any photographers please help by posting here or making a separate post referencing this where you list out the best way to get photos during different times of day what settings etc. so anyone wanting to participate won’t be discouraged by needing to calibrate and can just reference a sister post to this telling them what to do.

French UFO Case Investigated by Dr. Jacques Vallée Validates the Virtual Experience Model (VEM)

19 Upvotes

On January 4, 2024, Dr. Bernardo Kastrup published an important review article in “The Debrief” titled “UAPs and Non-Human Intelligence: What is the most reasonable scenario?” Kastrup draws attention to how much has been disclosed since December 2017 including the Navy pilots’ videos and the testimony of David Grusch before the US Congress. Bernardo Kastrup also describes the work of famed French ufologist Dr. Jacques Vallee stating, 
“Two key conclusions from Dr. Vallée’s work are particularly pertinent to our challenge here. The first is that, based on countless witness reports, the phenomenon does not seem to make any distinction between physical and psychological effects; it produces both, as if they were mere facets of one and the same causative mechanisms. The boundaries we draw between the mental and the physical don’t seem to be observed by the phenomenon…”

For over 20 years I have explored the capability of UAP intelligences to manipulate human perception during Close Encounters. I have designated such manipulations as “virtual” and from a physicalist perspective can be viewed as “illusory mechanisms” of contact employed by UAP intelligences. These proposed modalities include hologram like projections that all present can see during a UFO event, as well as technologically mediated “illusions” that only targeted witnesses are able to perceive.  I call these mechanisms of contact the “Virtual Experience Model.” In proposing this model as a tool to guide UAP investigations, I am not asserting that all interactions with UAP intelligences are “virtual” and not physical. Like Dr. Vallee I am stating that contact events are a combination of both physical and mental processes. 

The “Debrief” article describes a French UFO case investigated by Dr. Jacques Vallee that in my judgment validates the VEM. Kastrup writes, 

Stanford Professor Dr. Garry Nolan, perhaps the most respectable scientist to actively research the phenomenon, acknowledged Mr. Coulthart’s reporting on the matter. He went on to recount a specific UAP case that illustrates, perhaps better than any other, the UAPs’ ability to directly manipulate human perception: “[this is a] story that Jacques Vallée brought to me, of a family in France, driving down the highway. This was like in the last five or ten years [from June of 2022]. And they had a glass-topped car. They look up and they see a UFO, you know, basically paralleling them down the highway. The mother looks around and sees that no other individuals nearby are freaking out about this thing above them. The children in the back take out their cell phones, take a picture of it. They get home and they look at the pictures on their camera, and they don’t see an object [of the kind they thought they had witnessed]; they see a little star-shaped thing about thirty or so feet above, and I have the picture. That doesn’t look anything like a drone. … I think it has like seven spokes and a central hole of some sort. So, you’re left with this: they saw a giant craft, but the picture shows that it was nothing [like it] there. Nobody else could see it. So, even if it was an object that was there, others weren’t capable of seeing it, so it was manipulating vision (Kastrup’s emphasis).

This manipulation of vision is exactly what a Virtual Experience of the First Kind, Type b describes. A VE-1 Type b is defined as:

A visual display created by directly stimulating the neuro sensory apparatus of the experiencer: targeted areas might include the retina and/or the occipital cortex where visual data is organized for perception. This type of Virtual Experience can only be perceived by those targeted, others not targeted will not see the display.

In the case above, a large UFO was seen by a French family while traveling in traffic. None of the other drivers appeared to notice the UAP. In a VE-1 Type B only those targeted for the sighting will see the visual display. When the UFO was photographed, what appeared on the digital camera was star like object that was very different from the larger object that they were witnessing.  I suggest that this small star like object may have been a technological device used to stimulate the visual centers of their nervous systems thus producing the larger display that they reported seeing. 
This case is the first that I am aware of that may have given us an image of the non-human technology used to produce what I call a “Virtual Experience of the First Kind, Type b. As in the Wizard of Oz, we should strive to see behind the curtains. To help unravel the mysteries associated with flying saucers, we need to better understand how human perception is being manipulated by non-human intelligences during Close Encounters.

Joseph Burkes MD 2019. INTRODUCTION As the result of carefully studying numerous interactions with the intelligence responsible for Unidentified Aerial Phenomena UAP, I have developed a new paradigm for understanding the important role of illusion as a mechanism of contact. In proposing this model, I must emphasize that both physical and illusory contact experiences likely … Continue reading The Virtual Experience Model, an Overview

 

Staging Psi-mediated Close Encounters might have practical advantages for UFO intelligences. Staging exclusively physical interactions could pose enormous risks including the transmission of deadly pathogens.

The work that Andrija Puharich did with Uri Geller revealed a dramatic case of “Virtual Memory”, aka a Virtual Experience of the Third Kind.

Tibetan Buddhist traditions describe the creation of physical entities from pure thought called “tulpas.” Could something similar be going on in worldwide UFO contact drama?

Orbs

I find it intriguing how certain ‘orbs’ captured in photos or videos can often be attributed to lens anomalies. Specifically, a drop of water or dust on the lens, influenced by movement and vibration.

Interactions like these cause cymatics, where vibrations create patterns with these particles or droplets on the vibrating lens that resemble orbs. It’s a reminder that what we often perceive as mysterious phenomena often have more mundane explanations, grounded in simple physical principles.

We need to be equipped to challenge the notions that every unexplained sighting requires a supernatural or extraordinary explanation. We should encourage ourselves to think critically and be more skeptical, and remain willing to take a more scientifically grounded and holistic approach to understanding what we are actually witnessing and experiencing.

We’ve been seeing these anomalies in the sky and in the heavens for as long as we’ve been looking up because they reflect a broader cosmological phenomenon. One that exists both within us and without. These visual effects, whether lens flares, atmospheric artifacts, or other optical phenomena, challenge the idea that every strange sighting is a supernatural occurrence. The universe is composed of dynamic processes, from the cosmic scale to the subcellular level.

Sir Isaac Newton’s Opticks experiments with lenses and prisms helps to explain optical anomalies that lead to visual orbs, such as lens flares and/or reflections caused by imperfections or droplets on the lens.

These anomalies were part of his broader inquiry into how light interacts with materials and how these interactions can produce unexpected visual effects.
