Orbs at Rose Hall, Jamaica?
(To see an account of Scuttle's visit, click HERE)

I am sending along the attached pictures for your use as long as I am given credit whenever they are shown.

I still have quite a story to tell each time I show them to friends. The pictures were taken with a Sony Mavica 1000, 2.1 Megapixel digital camera. So I saw through the lens what I was shooting when I took the 2 pictures. I saw no lights with either of the pictures.

The first was of the Great House, and the second had my wife standing in the foreground in front of the Great House. You can imagine our surprize when we reviewed the pictures on the disk.

I checked my basic lens and also the wide angle that I used for the 2 shots. There were no lights visible when looking through the lens. You'll notice that on the second picture the 5 lights are moving toward the door.

(Well folks, what do you think? Has Tom captured "orbs" or are these simply light artifacts from shooting into the sun? Tom's camera is a "through the lens" style, so he directly sees what the camera records. Most camera-buffs would say these are simply lens artifacts, but Tom insists he didn't see the lights when the pictures were being taken. What's your call? Feel free to send us your comments.)
