    The 'unexplained percentage' is where the mystery lives. If 99 percent are dust, but that 1 percent is something else, that is where the real science and the real wonder begin.

    Häufig gestellte Fragen

    Flashing orbs are mysterious light balls often observed in the sky or captured on camera. These light anomalies can range from natural atmospheric lights and electrostatic discharges to more complex unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP). While some view them as ghost orbs or spiritual manifestations, researchers often analyze them through the lens of physics, looking for environmental triggers or optical illusions that create these distinct glowing patterns.

    In the study of Unexplained Aerial Phenomena (UAP), flashing orbs are frequently reported as high-speed, glowing objects that defy conventional flight patterns. Unlike standard aircraft, these mysterious light balls often appear to blink or change intensity rapidly. Investigating these orbs helps scientists and enthusiasts distinguish between known man-made technology, natural weather events, and truly anomalous sightings that remain unexplained by modern science.

    The term ghost orbs is typically used in paranormal contexts to describe small circles of light in photos, often attributed to dust or moisture reflecting a flash. In contrast, atmospheric lights refer to larger, self-luminous phenomena occurring in the open air, such as ball lightning or ionized gas. While both appear as flashing orbs, atmospheric lights are usually visible to the naked eye and are studied as physical, meteorological, or UAP phenomena.
