The Orb Project
After literally stumbling into orbs appearing as bright as light bulbs in photographs he was taking at a spiritual retreat, Dr. Klaus Heinemann immediately sensed that he was onto something profound. There was no choice but to convince himself that his notion was on solid grounds. Heinemann looked at thousands of pictures he had taken earlier, and thousands more would be taken to test the hypothesis that these light circles are nothing less than emanations from Spirit beings.
Dr. Míceál Ledwith had a similar experience after the orb phenomenon was first made known to him through the teachings of Ramtha. He began an intense and systematic study of orbs in all sort of situations, day and night, and in all sorts of atmospheric conditions, in order to discover all he could about their nature, the situations in which their presence could be most easily detected, and what implications they might have for our understanding of our own place in the cosmos. To date, he has amassed a collection of well over 100,000 images.
In The Orb Project , Ledwith and Heinemann present their fascinating discoveries, along with practical tips that amateur digital photographers can use to photograph orbs and properly distinguish them from "false" orbs that are really dust or water particles. They offer guidelines on deciphering the orbs' various patterns, features, and characteristics, based on their extensive research.
As Dr. Ledwith points out, once you develop a keen and sustained interest in photographing spirit entities, some quite interesting things begin to happen: the brain stops censoring these images, and you can begin to see with orbs with the naked eye -- in more color and detail than is visible to even a digital camera.
Ledwith and Heinemann also explore communication with orbs and what their existence means to our lives. The implications of a realization that we are "surrounded by a cloud of witnesses" are enormous and incredibly hopeful for the world at large.

Great introduction to a very personal subject for me.

A lot of conjecture and a mix of technical terminology. Feels like an attempt to make orb photography into a scientific thesis. Really hard going to get through it. Photographs were great, text was not much fun.

The highly technical language used in this book made it difficult to understand. The foreward was so complex that I felt it was almost unintelligible and required citations (seriously, the foreward author provided citations)!
The pictures in here are incredible though and the explanation of "spirit healings" towards the back of the book was interesting. Maybe if I had a stronger background in physics and photography, this would have been an easier read.

The pictures in this book are amazing! Although I personally didn't resonate with the author's beliefs regarding the nature of the orb phenomena, anyone out there with an interest in orbs should definitely give this book a read.

I was really surprised to see this book on here. If you're looking for contact, or you just have a curiosity to what is going on...this book is for you! Two different authors provide some very useful information!

The Orbs Project - Wasn't exactly what I expected...This is the more spiritual side of what Orbs might be. It doesn't really tell you what the difference between a dust or rain in the picture vs an orb in the picture.
