The Orb Project

I became aware of this book and the authors after searching for more information on orbs on Google. I have taken "orb" pictures for about 2 years now and this book offers a wealth of information for anyone's enlightenment on the subject. Thank you gentleman. If someone "believes" that this phenomena is just "dust" or other such explanations, then no book is going to change their mind no matter how well written (as the Orb Project) WE live in a Universe with endless possibilities...

It's my belief that The Orb Project, for what ever it may first appear to the skeptical scientific mind, is actually part of the early, entirely scientific, penetration of a frontier on a par with that of Magellan witnessing for the first time (in European history) the vast reaches of the central Pacific. In fact, the implications of this research stretch beyond the horizon of mere global exploration, (obviously no small claim on my part) because, what the book opens, and invites more of, is the systematic investigation of the possibility/proof of coexistent dimensions in interaction with our own, by witnessing the astounding, yet completely simple physical evidence, we ourselves confirm our own existence with constantly, photographs. Clearly, the authors bring their own leanings and beliefs to the study; point in case, being Heinemann's insistence on the term "Spirit emanations". Apparently however, that did not dilute the rigorous scientific slice and dice they've spent collective decades scrutinizing their own and others' data with. So, although their "spirituality" fuels their investigation, as it may your own, it also provides a universe of speculation in that most scientific of probing questions - hypotheses. To quote Ledwith, however out of context "... it simply means that our understanding of "spiritual" would stand in sore need of redefinition. And that's exactly what these two, I must say, brave man, are contributing to, by making it very clear what the difference is between a photograph of water droplets, dust, reflections, camera malfunctions, or what have you, and - an Orb. I guarantee that no matter how you respond to the information in this book, you'll never look at your digital photos the same way again. I highly recommend it.

I devoured this book with glee and highly recommend it! I became obsessed with those big balls in the sky in 2001 and couldn't let loose of them until I wrote a book on the topic. It was a lonely row to hoe back then, so now when intelligent, serious researchers such as Drs. Ledwith and Heinemann catch the same bug and claim things like "we're surrounded by a crowd of witnesses," I take one more step towards trusting my own instincts. "Real" orbs cannot be ignored any longer.

written by a physicist and theologian, it follows their own extensive experiments in orb phenomena. Since they used two very different experimental approaches, this led to some similarities (and some differences) in their interpretation of their outcomes. And in some respects, they left more questions raised than answered, which is, I guess, one of the outcomes of fairly rigorous exploration of a field that exists beyond our physical senses. Be warned, this is not a woo-woo New Age book. It does contain excellent information on how to photograph orbs, as well as how to recognize "fake" orbs (and when the photographer might have accidentally chosen a setting that would cause him/her to take fake shots). It also contains some very interesting theories about what these things are, and why they're here. in fact, Miceal Ledwith's groundbreaking discovery that orbs are captured on the camera not by reflected light but by what is know in physics as "fluorescence" opens the way for scientific tools towards an entirely new understanding both of what orbs are and the realms they inhabit. I have only 2 complaints... wish the type on the footnotes were a slightly larger font, and I do wish Miceal Ledwith had delineated some of the yes/no questions (and answers he got) when he worked with the hexagonal orbs. I can definitely recommend this if you're interested in the phenomena. Pam Gotcher
