I seem to have got some intelligent responses to my posts. I suppose that you have earned this one that I was debating about posting.

About two years ago I saw something that I still can not explain. I compose classical music. I am 100% self-taught. Sometimes I just keep going deep into the night because my creative juices are blasting. One night I was composing in my DAW [Digital Audio Workstation] on my desktop computer. Suddenly I noticed something moving behind me. It was a semi-spherical globe with half white/orange light like a candle. It was moving in the air in a parabolic motion above my right shoulder. It was high enough to be awkward if I had tried to leap up and touch it. It kept moving a bit like how a planet moves.

I was sat in my chair. I thought what on earth. I saw the time on my PC: 3 am precisely in the dead of night. I kept watching it moving and it lasted for a minute and a bit. Then it seemed to fade or vanish. The time by then was 3:01 and a bit am. I was open mouthed: what was that? It didn't scare me much. But it perplexed me.

Yes, I am fully aware of all the 3 am stories and the photos of "orbs". I didn't photograph it. I don't have a phone; I hate them. Yes, I am that kind of tech dinosaur. I was a total skeptic towards both orbs and the whole 3 am motif. I am still a skeptic. But let's try some of the probable explanations...

- light reflection. They don't last over a minute,.
- truck coming past and shining through my windows. Yes, I live near a highway. But it was from inside my house and truck lights last about 10 seconds and I know what they look like. It wasn't that.
- fireflies. No. Don't get them where I am. Didn't look like any insect anyway.
- Tiredness/eye strain etc. No. It wasn't like any of that.

I could go on and on. But to be concise, nothing probable works. We are left with the improbable. Was it Sherlock Holmes who said that when the probable is eliminated only the improbable remains? To me that leaves two explanations that are outside of the esoteric/occult.

- Ball Lightning. Controversial whether it is lightning at all; it seems to occur indoors. It didn't look like the ball lightning in documentaries.
- I was using so much energy composing music that maybe the sphere was an output of my own creative energy.

I stress that these are very improbable. But to me only the improbable is left.

If those don't cut it then ONLY then would I consider occult/esoteric ideas like orbs. Yes, for all the scientists in the thread who will say "one observation" does not scientifically prove anything, you are 100% correct.

Something like this?

Interesting story. It is my guess that you'll never know exactly what or who that was. I have never heard of a 3 am thing and as many years as I've researched all things new age/esoteric/parapychology, I'm a bit surprised. I will look into it.

OK, here is the TLDR of 3 am from an occult perspective. The general principle is that 3 am is the deepest point of darkness, the nadir to use an old school term often found in pre 20th century astrology books, and for people who practice magic 3 am is a time to do things. Over the last 5 or so years there has been a torrent of "3 am" stories on the internet where people see Slenderman at 3 am, or get woken up at 3 am by shadow people etc. Again, I am a total skeptic towards all of that which at least means that my experience isn't pre-coloured.

Um. Just no. I have never used Spirit boxes or anything else of that type. They are dangerous and if I watch someone on YouTube using one I get a VERY bad feeling about it to paraphrase Princess Leia.

Between you, me and the gatepost, 99% of people on YouTube who use spirit boxes are fakes, because if they did contact the things that they claim they would be driven mad and not be able to post a video again. They would be literally scared out of their minds. BUT that is NOT to say that a fake experience cannot also be dangerous in many ways. It still can.

As I always say from a Mental Health standpoint, if you are concerned for your Mental Health then refrain from this type of activity and seek Professional help.

Like 'Stay safe' and all that.

Seeing Orb's in the ways that are mentioned above isn't that out of the ordinary. I was just using youtube because it has a vast number of recordings of the same type of thing as you described.

Maybe you can or can't communicate with the Orbs. That will be up to you.

I hope that you are closer to having a theoretical answer. Stay Safe and consider doing one of the Remote-Viewing Courses by Trudy Benjamin or Princes Jenee.

Again you have misunderstood my post. I did not DO anything to get what I saw to appear. As for concerns about my mental health, you should take care of yours; you should not be looking at those kinds of videos.

In a sense you have. You were positioned to observe it.

I suggest that the Orb, or Consciousness was trying to interact with you.

Perhaps it was the Consciousness of somebody that you knew and was trying to get your attention?

Many people believe that the Ashoka Chakra symbol is actually a picture of the Soul, and that there are times when the Soul is out of body that it can be observed and even photographed:

Hence your Orb.

>As for concerns about my mental health, you should take care of yours

I think you misunderstand me and actually I take care of my mental Health more than I care to share.

If someone mentions in conversation that they are having concerns with their mental health, all I say is 'go get that checked out'. Obviously by someone that has Qualifications and is Certified.

Nothing more - nothing personal.

I'd say the same thing about a broken leg, or any other medical condition as I simply do not work in the Medical Profession.
