What a delightful book- By: Pam Gotcher, 09 Jan 2008 Written by a physicist & theologian, it follows their own extensive experimentsin orb phenomena. Since they used two very different experimental approaches, this led to some similarities (and some differences)in their interpretation of their outcomes. Andin 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, & 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 knowin physics as "fluorescence" opens the way for scientific tools towards an entirely new understanding both of what orbs are & the realms they inhabit.
I have only 2 complaints... wish the type on the footnotes were a slightly larger font, & 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 interestedin the phenomena. Pam Gotcher Experiencing Outside The Box- By: G. Cody Johnson, 09 Jan 2008 The Orb Project is an outstanding look at a phenomenon that seems to be too far out of the reality box for Newtonian scientific understanding & therefore is criticized as such. For many people it is just too hard to believe that some sort of life form that is possibly conscious could exist outside the framework of scientific materialism. The Amazon.com review by A. Scientist, not willing to give his name, is an example of a limited perspective by a person who obviously didn't even bother to read the book. If he or she had read it they would find all of their arguments clearly refuted. Granted, if you shake a rug for dust or spritz the air with water when you digitally photograph you will get a photo of a cloud of dust or water, but the orbs of various colors & shapes will not bein the photo.
The forward was written by William A. Tiller, Ph.D., who is `a scientist' & professor emeritus from Stanford University. The book's authors are also highly credentialed, with Klaus Heinemann, Ph.D., holding his degreein experimental physics & who worked for many years at NASA, UCLA, & as a research professor at Stanford University. Miceal Ledwith, D.D., LL.D., was the president of Maynooth Collegein Ireland for ten years. These people know the difference between dust, moisture & lens flares from orbs.
When Drs. Tiller, Heinemann, & Ledwith presented their findingsin 2007 at The Orbs Conferencein Sedona, Arizona, they were greeted by over 300 delegates from around the world who had been photographing the orbs with infrared, video, 35mm, as well as digital cameras. Many of the pictures showed orbs at special gatherings such a christenings, weddings, various celebrations, & around animals & children. The delegates by & large understood the orbs to be benevolent & conscious. Lenore Sweet, PhD- By: The Crowd of Witnesses, 09 Jan 2008 I devoured this book with glee & highly recommend it! I became obsessed with those big ballsin the skyin 2001 & 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 & Heinemann catch the same bug & 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.
