could this orb be the real thing?

Free episodes:

hmmm very strange indeed.

The background on the object:

"March 20, 2012 -- while filming in the distance saw what at first appeared to be possible feather fluttering in the wind saw due to its flight pattern it wasn't-- so removed camera from tripod and filmed this cute small white Orb around 7 pm.. It was fairly close to me downstairs in courtyard.. I called my husband out to see it.. This was first Orb hubby has seen with naked eye.. Orb was meandering along and suddenly increased speed and went straight up into the sky, Night time Orb cluster was filmed on 17th March and was along curve in retaining wall. This is second time I've seen this cluster there- but 1st time to film it."

Many people have reported seeing small orbs. All the spheres I have seen are at least 10 feet in diameter. I have never observed small orbs. Go figure?
 
looks just like a seed from a cottonwood tree and the camera is unable to resolve the fine features in the sunlight.
 
Orbs, shadow people, aliens, these ideas are as old as dirt. The Cape Canaveral Monsters is an excellent example. I can't find a trailer for C.C.M. so here is The Cosmic Man made from 1959 that has all these modern day paranormal story elements. Check out the sphere scene!

Elaborate on what you mean.
 
I'm sorry, I just threw that out there didn't I? The whole paranormal gambit of activity reported today has appeared in film for quite some time. Much of the reported paranormal activity can be found in obscure movies that parallel modern reports and descriptions of various phenomena. It raises the chicken or the egg question to some degree and I just find the whole thing fascinating. In Cosmic Man an orb shaped space craft deposits some sort of inter-dimensional shadow being on the Earth. The government attempts to recover the thing, etc., etc. Several modern UFOlogical and paranormal themes are present. It makes me what to research the writers and producers of these films.

I see your point. A spherical shape is common in nature. The earth, sun, etc. Could be coincidence?

Now, now, I'm not trying to discount your experiences with this.

You have to admit that many themes that continue to turn up again and again in the paranormal and ufo community reach back to 50s and 60s science fiction. Mysterious orbs. Shadow People. Aliens kidnapping people. You name it. Many of these movies where these now popular themes appear are obscure B-movies that have only recently enjoyed some availability and modest interest. I know I'm not only one to be struck by this sort of thing.

This was published in 1928.
THE CELESTIAL INHABITANTS OF THE SUN
The Rosicrucians and the Illuminati, describing the angels, archangels, and other celestial creatures,
declared that they resembled small suns, being centers of radiant energy surrounded by streamers of
Vrilic force. From these outpouring streamers of force is derived the popular belief that angels have
wings. These wings are corona-like fans of light, by means of which the celestial creatures propel
themselves through the subtle essences of the superphysical worlds.
 
Was that made before The Day The Earth Stood Still?

No! Good point. TDTESS was 51. This is from 59. Slightly lower budget. That mp3 file was from the Rotten Tomatoes site I think. I found a DVD on Amazon with it, The Flying Saucer, and Visitor from Venus on it. I just ordered it. The movie was lost for some time and the only copy was apparently just recently rediscovered in the garage of the part-owner and special effects guy.

The Cape Canaveral Monsters is another example of this sort thing where orbs of light which are alien life forms appear. In that movie they inhabit or possess two people and proceed to sabotage the space program. The aliens abduct people, etc., etc. That movie can be found on Netflix streaming.
 
I see who they are now... what did they say? I can't imagine ME ruffling somebody's feathers.

I don't remember exactly what they said. It was on Future Theater. They were talking about pixelsmith a member of the Paracast forum. They were bad mouthing the forum. I remember now, it was Future Theater, Bill and Nancy were interviewing Emma Woods that woman that was abducted, or wasn't abducted, I don't know I couldn't handle listening to the entire show.
