I have looked everywhere on the web and in libraries etc., and have never been able to find anything about this in any shape or form whatsoever. I have been told that it was ‘ball-lightning’ BUT I have actually seen ball-lightning both in the UK and the USA where I lived for several years since the following occurrences and I can categorically say that it was NOT ball-lightning which that I saw on both the occasions in question; in any case, there was no stormy weather about and, in fact, the weather was calm both times.
In November 1972 at about 4pm. I went into a back bedroom of my home, looked through the west facing window and noticed that it was a calm clear late afternoon with the sun setting low in the sky. I turned away from the window towards my right and suddenly noticed, slowly revolving about to two feet above and about two feet in front of me a slowly revolving, brilliant sphere – it seemed to be a gold orb, about the size of a large orange; as it revolved it seemed to give off scintillating flashes as if it was covered in diamonds or other jewels.
It was utterly silent and I just stood and looked at it as it was so astonishing and utterly beautiful; I was totally unafraid and had a distinct knowledge that whatever it was it would not hurt me – I just wondered what it was.
As I stood watching it, after about two or three minutes, it just ‘went’ – that is the only thing I can say – one second it was there, the next it was gone!
Exactly the same thing occurred in July 1978 but in a different house as we had moved by that time; it was about 7.50pm. and a calm, fairly cloudy evening – I was looking through the north-east facing window of our living room and again noticed the object to my right about two feet above and two feet away from me. The same events occurred.
On both occasions, I suffered no ill effects whatsoever; I have just been left with a longing to know what it was and why it was there.
I hope some-one has heard of this before and can perhaps shed some light on it. Thanks, anyway
Judy, you seem to be describing ghost orbs and my understanding is that these are a relatively new phenomena in terms of reporting. Of course, they may have existed much longer but it seems to me that it is something that people are only now starting to notice. These anomalous events werent covered in my spontaneous paranoraml survey and like you, Id be interested to read about others experiences. Sorry I cant be more helpful. Perhaps others can be?

Thanks Rosemary,
I have never been able to find anymore repoprts, as I said in my original posting. I DO hope some-one else comes forward.
Time will tell Judy. The comments will stay live and hopefully someone will be able to add to this
