Exploring the Mysterious Orbs: A Paranormal Event in Normandy

Orbs - what are they?

At 23:18 on June 21, 2025, a storm swept through rural Normandy, near Caen. The electricity was out, leaving only the jagged flashes of lightning to light the scene. A camera filmed multiple orbs during this tumultuous night. One orb, a faint sphere of light, bloomed from dull grey to brilliant white before dimming again. As we reviewed the footage, it revealed a stunning array of orbs. Dozens of smaller lights drifted, darted, and sometimes streaked across the lens. Their movement raised numerous questions: What are these things? Why do they vary in appearance? Why do they sometimes seem to follow a group logic?

Observations of Orb Behavior

The footage presents a variety of observed behaviors from the orbs.

Lateral Transit

Up to a dozen dim, semi-translucent spheres glide from right to left. Their sizes vary, ranging from a few millimeters to about three centimeters across, as determined by the work surface behind them. The occasional flash of lightning briefly illuminates them against the wall, while rain can be heard but not seen.

Behavioral Flip

Suddenly, the movement direction reverses. The orbs switch from left-to-right, then move directly toward the camera. A particularly striking orb appears, perfectly spherical and intensely luminous. It swells in the center of the frame, pulsating before fading from view. During its peak brightness, the smaller orbs disappear entirely.

Return and Dissolve

As the central orb dims, the smaller glowing bodies re-emerge, moving once again toward the camera until the sequence concludes in darkness.

It's important to note the absence of any string orb, a long thread shape often associated with energy nodes.

Theories of the Normandy Orb

The Normandy footage reveals behaviors that are both rare and not entirely unprecedented at locations known for paranormal activity. My past research, especially related to Groundlings Theatre, suggests a consistent mechanism may be at play, rather than mere random camera artifacts.

Theories in Play

1. Photographic Artefact (Dust/Pollen)

• Particulates out of focus may reflect the camera’s infrared assist lamp.

• However, the disappearance of all small orbs during the main flash indicates a dynamic cause rather than a static one.




2. Electrostatic Plasma Droplets

• Storms charge aerosolized moisture, allowing micro-plasmoids to briefly self-contain.

• This would explain the variance in size and the heightened glow during lightning-induced electromagnetic spikes.




3. Ball Lightning Variant

• Laboratory evidence shows that spherical plasma can persist for several seconds.

• Although usually observed as solitary events, clusters have been reported in human-made environments like humid barns and aircraft cabins.




4. Psychical or Conscious Manifestation (Spirit Hypothesis)

• Orbs may represent visual by-products of an entity harnessing environmental energy to manifest.

• The leading orb could attract ambient charge, suppressing the appearance of lesser formations, similar to how a strong radio frequency wave drowns adjacent channels.




5. Collective Phototaxis

• If the smaller orbs are indeed charged aerosols, they maybe follow electric field gradients established by a dominant sphere, creating the observed flock-like movement.

Addressing Key Questions

Every great mystery raises questions. Let's explore the key inquiries that emerged from the footage.

Why Did the Smaller Orbs Vanish at Peak Luminosity?

My working hypothesis draws from research on plasma physics. The bright sphere may have temporarily ionized the surrounding air mass. This phenomenon could collapse the charge differentials that keep the micro-plasmas afloat. When its energy dissipated, normal conditions resumed and the swarm re-formed.

Why the Directional Switch?

Lightning strikes can rapidly flip ambient electric-field vectors. The collective U-turn of the orbs may map this flip, acting as visual tracers of an invisible field line inversion.

Size and Brightness Variance

Differences in diameter likely correlate with particle population, humidity, and the voltage gradient experienced by each droplet. Brighter cores likely possess higher charge density, accounting for brightness variance.

Where Was the String-Orb?

The short exposure time meant that fast movers appeared as discrete dots rather than streaks. Interestingly, this supports the notion of high orb velocity.

Conclusions and Insights

The Normandy footage fits a recurring phenomena I've encountered at various locations. The presence of a leading orb appears capable of temporarily suppressing its fainter counterparts. Whether we label this orb a spirit nucleus or a high-density plasmoid depends on our acceptance of the unseen.

From an academic perspective, the event highlights the importance of recording environmental data. Conducting simultaneous electromagnetic logging, air-ion counts, and high-speed photometry can help us differentiate dust from plasma and plasma from psychic phenomena.

For now, the recording leads to two significant takeaways:

1. Perfect Spheres & Energy Cores are more likely to appear during active electrical weather in haunted locations, acting as a natural capacitor for manifestation.

2. Micro-Orbs as By-Products may actually serve as indicators of an energy landscape manipulated by a larger consciousness or charge pocket. Thus, as past mediums have suggested, a hierarchy seems to exist in the spiritual realm.

   
   

I invite you to be part of this exploration. If you capture similar phenomena, especially when a dominant orb flares, please share the raw footage with me.

What we have witnessed is indeed a rare event, a fascinating display of orbs or spirits energized by an electrical storm.

In many Hollywood horror films, scenes of rain, thunder, and lightning often accompany dark moments. Perhaps a less dramatic truth lies behind these tales?
