Not all Orbs are “supernatural”.  Many naturally occurring Orb light effects can be scientifically explained.  It is important that Christians be wise and discerning, regarding their assessment of Orbs, in their own photographs and those of others.  In fact, Christians should always critically evaluate every unexplainable phenomenon, or miracle they witness.  We must seek and stand on the truth.  However, when a true, supernatural manifestation, or miracle of God is evident, the factual evidence will prove it.  These are the miracles our Lord commands us to witness, as part of our personal testimony.  The Bible says a supernatural world exists around us, which logic, intellect and science cannot explain.  Faith in the Jesus and His Bible is required to properly discern these supernatural manifestations.

Below are pictures of “Natural” Orbs, which have scientific explanations.  These photographs are presented here to show how similar these natural Orbs are to genuine, supernatural Orbs.  Before you testify that an Orb is a supernatural, Angelic Orb of God, be certain of your analysis.

Natural Orbs most often occur as the result of light reflections.  All cameras are sensitive to reflections of light.  Professional photographers are well acquainted with the light flare phenomenon.  Any time a camera is pointed toward the sun, or a bright light source, a light flare or reflection can be generated.  Usually, the photographer becomes aware of these reflections, as he looks through the camera viewfinder.  These kinds of natural reflections can occur with and without a flash, but require a bright light source.

The other type of naturally occurring Orb photograph is produced when a flash is used, while photographing through moisture or dust.  The camera flash will reflect off of dust, rain, sleet, snow, ice crystals and unseen mist in the air.  Usually, the photographer is well aware of these poor photographic conditions, which require that delicate camera equipment be protected from damage.  Fake Orb photographs can be fabricated in this way. 

Below is a sample of various scientifically explainable Orb photographs, which should help you discern the natural from the supernatural ones.
