From the "How to Photograph the Paranormal" author's website...
http://www.photographingtheparanormal.com/ Leonore Sweet, Ph.D., author of How To Photograph the Paranormal wrote: " Yes, some are photographs of dust, rain, pollen, lens flare or anything else logical minds can embrace, but not all."
She herself admits that some have proven to be things like I mentioned. I know you're going to say she admits to some, but not ALL. However look at her other statement, she admits she's not "an authority in either photography or the parnormal." So how can she say that any of the orbs photographed are anything but explainable. She admits she doesn't know one way or the other. It's all speculation, or maybe better phrased as guesstimation.
whiteagles reply: Mrs. Sweet provides the knowledge in how anyone can obtain the evidence for themselves. Which is exactly what I did. And I got it on camcorder. And I observed them at dozens of different sites. You on the other hand, are so consumed with denying the existence of paranormal orbs, that you have not had time to 1. buy the book, 2. read the book, 3. go outside and test out the techniques in the book, or 4. even step outside with a flash camera and have a look see for yourself. You are demonstrating a closed mind on this subject. Furthermore, she is including a disclaimer in the book, because orb research is difficult at best, so that no experts exist. Therefore she is not an expert for that reason, nor is anyone else. You are changing the subject with this arguement.

Whiteagle writes: Name those other things please. You cannot. You have not seen my footage. The International Bigfoot Society has. Read about it in the Track Record. Once again, you are dead wrong.

People were claiming that giant rods were hitting their windshields leaving all kinds of goo all over it. Some even claimed they almost fell down flights of stairs when they were buzzed closely by one of these "Rods". What did they turn out to be? Living ectoplasmic entities that were once people? NO! They were INSECTS! They were moths, flys, butterflies, dragonflies, etc.
Whiteagle writes: Prove it. You stated it, so prove that your proof, is in fact proof and not some more of your hearsay evidence that you claim to be proof. Rods are covered in Sweet's book. They are paranormal entities that exist in another dimension, because they can fly through solid objects in our dimension. Sorry to ruin your day.
Wisill: When they changed the shutter speeds and ISO to a certain configuration, it caused fast moving objects, like flying insects, to appear elongated and blurred, their wings looked like some sort of cillia as a bacteria would have, or flagella.
Whiteagle: They do not appear to be blurred. That is a misrepresentation. You forgot to mention that the rods were previously and still completely unclassified living entities. Your hearsay proof is bogus. You are simply living in denial of both orbs and now rods. What next?

If you're seeing orbs looking over your camera, why do you even need a camera in the first place?
Whiteagle writes: Don't be ridiculous. Cameras RECORD events.
Wisill wrote: Or is it that you use the FLASH, to illuminate the orbs? And doesn't that tell you something, that they aren't there until you hit them with a bright light? Which translates as a reflection off a solid object.
Whiteagle writes: The orbs are there all the time. The orbs at that moment, were not self-illuminating, although some can be when they want. You appear to be in denial of all wavelengths of light, that you cannot see with your naked eye. That is a serious problem.

Why do people assume that cemetaries are good places to find "Spirit Entities". For crying out loud, if you were dead, do you think you'd want to spend eternity sitting around in a cemetary when you could be out roaming the streets at least somewhat enjoying yourself?
Whiteagle writes: I did not assume that cemeteries are good places to find spirit orbs. That is stated in the Sweet's book.
Wisill wrote: You say people can't but the Warm Springs Indians can. So the Warm Springs Indians aren't people? And if they are, and they can, then why can't anyone else?
Whiteagle writes: Perhaps they have some special technigue that is fully engaged when they perform their ceremonies. You are assuming that noone else can. Have you checked with everyone else on the face of the planet?
Wisill wrote:
Bigfoot is NOT supernatural, and E=MC squared was never used by the government or anyone else to explain anything or anyone turning into orbs. That formula comes from Albert Einstein and the government has nothing to do with it.
Whiteagle writes: You obviously have no idea what the government has done in regard to bigfoot and/or orbs. So you are hardly in any position to criticize others who have knowledge of past common knowledge. Bigfoot is both supernatural and unexplainable, relative to us and by us. Pleased get used to it.
Wisill wrote: Again YOU made the claim that this took place, it's up to YOU to provide the evidence to support your claims.
Whiteagle: I do not have to prove anything. I am not bound by a contract to prove anything. I merely posted free information that anyone can read and judge for themselves. I do not have to back up anything with any more proof than I have posted here. By my posting the simple experiment that anyone can perform for themselves, to validate the de facto existence of orbs, is adequate effort on my part to meet any implied obligation that I may have to provide proof.

Whiteagle writes: Please don't bother. Based on the above, you do not have a very good batting average so far. You arguments lack both facts and logic, both of which cannot be independantly verified. Orbs can be independantly verified. You obviously have not taken even a few moments to verify them. Please take those moments, then get back to us.
