Recently, surveillance cameras at Florida’s Space Walk of Fame Museum have spotted something eerily unusual. They’ve recorded a floating object that appears to look like a circular flying “orb” — but many claim that it could be a UFO, a dust particle and even a ghost.
Identifying the mysterious flying orb
The circular object pictured below (grabbed from the surveillance camera footage), can simply be described as what it appears to be: an ambiguously lit sphere. Charlie Mars, president of the museum, has said that all appliances in the room — air conditioning system, lights — were turned off at the time of recording, so it couldn’t possibly have been a glare or dust ball.
There are some who speculate that the object might have been something that was brought in to the museum long ago. The fact that such strange occurrences have taken place at certain points during the past decade strengthens the unearthly assumptions that some may carry.
VIDEO: a closer look at the alien-like flying orb
Here, you can watch a short video documented by the museum surveillance cameras. An object very quickly enters the display room, moves toward the center, and then makes a sudden turn, returning in the direction it came in. After a while, it appears again on the bottom right-hand side of the screen, and disappears after moving slightly toward the left.
Ex-FBI agent and former investigator of “Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files” Ben Hansen speculates that it’s just dust that was caught in an updraft. Even though the air conditioner was off, the smallest air current could potentially have moved a speck of dust. When filming with a camera that is equipped with illuminated light (in the museum’s case, with an infrared LED), dust orbs can be easily caught.
Explanations for the behavior of the flying orb
A few reasons can explain what the flying orb was doing. Even when air conditioning is turned off, slight currents inevitably flow between rooms or between spaces through ceilings and walls. Air return vents between the rooms in the museums can also likely have had an effect on the movement of the current.
In addition, the orb moves in a cyclical motion, which isn’t untypical for the movement of an updraft or downdraft of air. The particle may seem to “vanish” because it could have ended up too far away from the lens to reflect enough light into the camera’s sensor.
Whatever the flying orb actually was — dust particle or some alien material — the Titusville, Florida museum will go on as usual and continue to display memorabilia of America’s space program.
