The Camera Company Disclaimer

I had got about this far with my book and the telephone rang one bright and sunny morning. It was my friend Richard who lives in nearby Valbonne which is a very picturesque medieval village nestled up in the hills behind Cannes.

"Is that you Antonia? It's Richard here. You can stop writing your book!"
"What d'ya mean I can stop writing my book Richard?"
"I've discovered what your orbs are!"
This bald statement was followed by a long drawn-out "Okaaaaay" from me: "I see -- What are they then?"

"Listen to this -- I just bought myself a new digital camera and in the trouble-shooting part of the user's manual there's a whole section on them!"
Richard then proceeded to read out the section in the manual which dealt with 'orbs' and which went roughly like this:

"You may occasionally detect the appearance of round white spots in your photographs: This is no cause for concern, neither does it imply that either your camera or the memory card are faulty. These white spots are caused by dust particles or moisture droplets in the environment which, when the flash is used, bounces back reflected light and results in the appearance of 'orb-like' objects in your photographs."

"You see!" Richard ended triumphantly, "They even call them orbs!
So you can stop writing your book! The camera people know what they are!"

"The camera people are more likely covering their proverbial backsides" said I. "That dear Richard is what is known as a 'disclaimer' and it's put there because they are getting flooded with calls from people who, finding that they are photographing genuine orbs and not knowing what they are, are bombarding them with complaints about faulty cameras!"

"Oh!" said Richard sounding just a mite deflated, "I hadn't thought of that."

"Darling Richard" I cooed with my most honeyed voice, which is in fact, when I am at my most dangerous. "Trust me! If I thought I was writing a book about dust motes, or rain-drops or insects on the wing, I would give you full permission to come and lock me up in one of your 'special' wards. (Richard happens to be a doctor.) . . . . . . . . .

What Could They Be?

I have compiled a list of several possibilities which need to be given fair consideration in order to be able to begin to penetrate the truth. These are listed very roughly in my own personal order of preference and while you are reading the list, please keep in mind the very high possibility that at least one of the suggestions put forward here could just possibly be the right one. But which one? "Aye, as Hamlet said, there's the rub!"

Intelligent, non-physical 'Beings of Light'. That is to say, a perfected form of pure 'being' which needs no exterior material life-support such as food, shelter, clothing etc.
A hitherto undiscovered and as yet undefined category of intelligent animal life-form like insects, birds or jellyfish, which has always existed but until the arrival of digital photography has been rarely captured on film and therefore has remained unknown.
Blobs of intelligent or semi-intelligent plasma.
Balls of pure, concentrated energy.
Elemental organisms of hydro-charged gaseous concentration.
Cosmic 'fallout' of some description
The perfected souls of those who have undergone successive reincarnations and who have completed their requisite earth journeys and the lessons involved and who now dwell as 'The Light'. (Jesus claimed "I am The Light", What actually did he mean by this?).
Personal 'attachments' like 'spirit guides' who accompany each individual throughout his or her lifetime.
Disembodied souls of family and loved ones who have passed on.
Ghosts or earthbound spirits.
The physical manifestation of pure thought or consciousness.
A micro universe in its own right.
Part of an individual's 'soul-pool'.
Angels or Heavenly messengers.
Sprites, Fairies or Faeries.
Aliens from another planet.
UFO probes from a mother-ship.
Portals or doorways to another world in another dimension

And who knows? Perhaps they are even Cosmic Torch Bearers sent to light the way for us into this new 'Age of Aquarius', the promise for which is that all which has hitherto been covered-up, secret and hidden will come to the surface and will be revealed. The 'Age of Aquarius' is the age of Truth with a capital 'T'. . . . . . .

Are orbs visible to the naked eye?

Not that has been reliably reported to date (although someone extremely reliable -- a hard-nosed journalist -- who had just finished reading the first edition of this book claims to have suddenly had the ability to see them). Some folk, particularly people who have psychic abilities, claim that they can see orbs. I can't, and the best that I can say is that from time to time I think that I have caught a glimpse of something in my peripheral vision; either a fleeting movement or a small flash of light which when I turn to look is not there. And then if I'm photographing at night, there is a moment, a split second when I see a confetti-like tinsel sparkle just as the flash goes off. They're always there when I see that.

The very best answer I have yet found to this question is provided in the quote below by David Icke from his book 'The Biggest Secret'. (I hope you don't mind me quoting you David! I'm sure you won't -- it proves that I buy your books!)

"Creation consists of an infinite number of frequencies or dimensions of life sharing the same space in the way that radio and television frequencies do." This compares with our ability to see or hear a fourth dimension by tuning a T.V or a radio in and out of a station. Turn the tuning knob on the radio and you no longer receive the station even though the station is still out there broadcasting. I can grasp that simple fact! (David Icke "The Biggest Secret page 26.)

I can grasp that simple fact too. When I read this passage in David's book, it leapt off the page at me and hit me like the proverbial ton of bricks. That's it! I said to myself. That's exactly what orbs must do. They are there all the time sharing the same space, the very air we breathe, but they dwell in another dimension of that space. A fourth or fifth or sixth dimension and, like an out-of-tune radio we can't pick up on anything coherent because it's operating on a different frequency. The radio is still merrily broadcasting along its invisible wavelengths but we can't receive it because we're not tuned into the station . . . . . . . .

RU4 U2? Yeah!

I have a very special and valued friend who apart from being my friend and confidant, also happens to have a most unusual and much coveted job. He is the bass guitarist for one of the world's greatest rock groups U2. Adam has always been fascinated by my orb photographs and while not quite going so far as to actually admitting to being fully fledged believer, right from the start I could see that he was highly intrigued by them, especially when he saw the ones I took at the Buena Vista Social Club concert. "Hmm, I wonder if you could get them for us," he mused (us being U2), "That'd be interesting!" He didn't have to wait too long to find out, for on Friday 5th August 2005, U2 gave a mega-concert in the big stadium in Nice as a leg of their 'Vertigo' Tour, and of course Adam gave me 'Friends and Family' VIP tickets for the concert. Here too the 'Light Beings' did not fail us, they turned out in full force as you can see . . . . . .

Bella, Bella Belinda

Another person who I am convinced has a personal retinue of orbs in permanent attendance is my soul-sister, iconic super-star Belinda Carlisle. Lead singer of the GoGo's and one of the world's most beautiful women in every sense that that word implies . . . . . .

. . . . . . In June of 2007, Belinda gave a concert in London to launch her new French album 'Voila'. Before the concert started, she asked me to take plenty of photos to see if there were any 'Light Beings' around her when she performed. She said that she suspected that they were always there with her but she wanted to know for sure. Maybe with my gift for photographing them, I could provide proof for her. She told me that of late she had been feeling the 'spiritual presence' of her husband's Godmother Lesley Blanch, a renowned beauty of her day and a famous explorer and writer, who had at the time, recently died at the grand old age of 104. She and Lesley had been very close and Belinda sensing that she was around her a lot at that particular time, wondered if I could 'pick up' on her. Sure enough there were several orbs around her all through the performance and one in particular which was . . . . . .

. . . . . of all the aspects of this very strange photo the most mystifying thing for me is that little point of shadow cast by the hat or whatever it is carrying in his hand which spills over the doorframe and onto the door itself. It implies a solidity of substance which I would not have hitherto associated with a ghost.

Orbs can cast reflections and sustain physical injury - ghosts can cast shadows! Clearly we are beginning to see that the world of the immaterial is not so insubstantial after all . . . . . . .

At the Crop Circles:

Belinda suddenly announced that she was going to test the circle's energy by lying down in it and, feeling instantly nauseous and headachy, she declared that it was "Very powerful!" I, on the other hand declined to actually lie down in the circle but on moving through the formation, I felt a strange sensation of elation come over me. Gone was the tiredness and dispiritedness of earlier. Suddenly I felt as though I wanted to dance and sing. It was as though all my batteries had been recharged -- a natural high . . . . . . .

Souls In Mourning?

Of all the photos I took of the chapel that evening, in which just about every single one was peopled by orbs, the one on the next page is my favourite. It shows the little chapel with three big, bright orbs marching in single file up to the door of the chapel as though going in to worship, with two baby orbs in the procession as well. One or two other orbs are hovering watchfully in the vicinity. It is very tempting to tell oneself that perhaps on that night so close to the anniversary of the massacre of the Templars seven hundred years before, these orbs were the Templars' mourning souls returning to commemorate the demise of their Order, and that of their comrades. Who knows? I certainly don't discount the notion. There is a very heavy residual pain-body associated with the disbanding of the Templars and echoes of it linger in the environment to this day. . . . .

Green Men and Landing Sites

"So are you looking for the Green Men?" he asked without preamble.

"Err no .. not exactly", I replied. Then, "Yes! In fact yes. Do you believe in the Green Men Matthew?" I asked him, thinking to myself, hey, this kid's a local, he might know something.
"Well", he said, "I've never actually seen one .. but I know they exist."
"Do you indeed?" I said "and what makes you think that?"
"I've seen lights." he said enigmatically.
"What sort of lights?'
"Moving lights in the sky and in the bushes. I've seen a pink light too"
"Goodness" I said, "that's very interesting .. what else do you know?"
"I know where they land .. I can show you if you like."
"Ooh yes, please do!"

I translated this conversation to the others and saw Belinda's eyes light up instantly. Moving lights and alien landing sites were exactly the sort of things she had come for.

Matthew took off again on the mountain bike with renewed vigor . . . . . .

. . . . . . Cloudy immediately started communicating with them in a trance-like way saying that she was absolutely certain that they were trying to make contact and using her as a medium. After a few moments she broke her concentration, lifted her head and announced that she was going to ask 'Them' to give us a sign that they were on our wave-length. She half-closed her eyes and once again went into trance mode. Within seconds there was an abrupt, slightly muted, but clearly audible static crackle in the air rather similar to dry lightening or the crack of a stockman's whip and without warning the lights of the hotel flickered and went out leaving us suddenly enveloped in total darkness. So much for asking the 'Light Beings' to give us a sign!

"Oh my God! We did that!" she said in a hushed voice tinged with awe (did I detect a teensy note of fear?) . . . . .

Operation Orbs
There's really no particular technique needed for photographing orbs but I'm going to give you some tips which might be helpful in getting the enterprise underway or at least to give it a good kick-start. Are you ready? I have found that through direct contact with me, many of my friends very soon begin to take their own photos of orbs and as I said, just reading this book will be opening the door into their world for you. Probably the most important and indispensable ingredient for photographing the 'Light Beings' is an intense and burning desire to do so. . . . . .

Later that night back at the hotel, I was contemplating this extraordinary turn of events and it occurred to me that the writing might be in reverse; that is to say that it might have been on the other side of the orb and showing through its transparent body. So I took out my makeup mirror and held it up to the camera screen to get the reverse view of the picture. Suddenly I saw with quite a shock that it appeared to spell the nickname that some of my family and oldest friends call me 'Toni'-- a diminutive of Antonia . . . . .

I believe that there is as yet a lot of study in the field of real photography of the 'unreal' and that we are poised on the brink of discovering amazing new worlds just as long as we can keep our minds and spirits open to these frontiers of hitherto unsuspected phenomena and not close the doors until we have spent some time exploring all the rooms of this exciting new mansion.
If all of these manifestations, orbs, crop circles, UFO sightings, abductions and so on, add up to an encounter of the third kind, and aliens from another galaxy are visiting us, then it is my firm conviction that whoever 'they' are, they mean us no harm. . . . .
