Introduction

For many years, mysterious luminous spherical objects, or orbs, have been seen in the sky. Their role in popular culture is implied by the millions of hits returned by Google when queried with "balls of light in the sky". Many orbs are white in color, but red, orange, yellow and green orbs have been seen as well. Some have been explained as meteors entering the earth's atmosphere, while others have been attributed to mundane human activity such as the release of chinese lanterns. But many orbs are said to behave as if they are controlled by an intelligent agent. For example, they sometimes change direction like an aircraft, or several appear to cooperate to form patterns in the sky. The number of orbs in a sighting have ranged from a single orb to hundreds forming large "flotillas". The latter may contain subgroups that appear to drift in different directions across the sky.


The British Ministry of Defence (MoD) acknowledged in a summary report (http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/FreedomOfInformation/PublicationScheme/SearchPublicationScheme/UapInTheUkAirDefenceRegionExecutiveSummary.htm) written in 2000, that unexplained luminous objects in the sky have occasionally been seen. However, "the conditions for the initial formation and sustaining of what are apparently buoyant charged masses, which can form, separate, merge, hover, climb, dive and accelerate are not completely understood". The report suggests that such objects are likely glowing plasmas resulting from particular natural configurations of electromagnetic fields. The authors recommend an investigation into the use of such plasmas for novel military applications. For example, since such charged masses can appear as visual, infra-red and radar targets, they could be useful as decoy targets, or as passive electromagnetic spectrum energy-absorbers. Also mentioned is Russia's interest in plasma technologies related to "very high power energy generation, RF weapons, impulse radars, and air vehicle drag and radar signature reduction or control".

or as I like to call them, "Ooooohhh..pretty lights." :losing-it:
