A Remarkable Orb Photo

"Skeptics assume that orbs, which have been photographed more and more frequently in recent years, but rarely with anything except digital cameras, must be distortions of some kind caused by the photographic process. Many orbs are photographed during periods when the air is humid, and probably are process effects.

"However, this particular object appeared inside a house and happened by coincidence to be photographed through the window. This means that the size of the object and its appoximate [sic] distance from the camera lens can be determined."

Somehow, "remarkable" is the last word that comes to mind. It appears "inside" the house because the partition in the windows are white, drowning out the "orb's" edges.

I'm getting really tired of attempts to create an aura of mystery out of digital camera artifacts when there is so much authentic weirdness begging exploration.
