Unusual Orb Encounter
Date: January 16, 2025, 11:29 PM
Location: Georgetown, Washington, DC
While walking home with my boyfriend from Martin’s Tavern in Georgetown, we took some fun photos of each other. Later, we noticed a peculiar orb appearing in several of the images.
This orb doesn’t seem to have any recognizable natural light source and doesn’t match typical lens distortion. It was an extremely cold night, and aside from the occasional passing car, we were completely alone. The orb appeared to move with a deliberate, almost dance-like quality.
I’ve created a video from some Live Photos taken on my iPhone 13 Pro. I added a darker filter and slowed it down to better showcase the orb.
Has anyone else seen anything like this in the area or have any thoughts on what it could be?
That sounds like a fascinating experience! The orb you captured could have a few possible explanations. Some people believe they could be paranormal in nature, like spirits or energy orbs, especially if they appear in areas with a lot of history like Georgetown. On the other hand, it might also be an unusual atmospheric phenomenon or even a reflection caused by moisture in the air, particularly in winter conditions. It’s great that you documented it and shared it with others. Have you looked into similar sightings in the area? Sometimes local enthusiasts or paranormal groups might have insights that could help decipher what you saw!
