As a British journalist reports on a car crash right outside of London, a mysterious blob travels alongside the edge of the road in the background.
What could it be? A ghost? A spirit? UFOs? Big Foot?
Producers of the show looked into it. After a detailed investigation, they concluded–drumroll please–that an insect was crawling across the lens of the camera. Oh.

Posted on April 6, 2011 at 1:30amGB let their COUNTRY HAPPEN. THEY LIVE IN THE PAST. Future and present is lost to most. They like “same old,same old”. WW2 should have been a wake up. Get off the “proper” and get to what is right and needed. If they would have started 30yrs ago, no problem. All at once. that hurts. USA IS NEXT.

Posted on April 6, 2011 at 1:39amAnd yet “orbs” are a favorite piece of “evidence” used by paranormal investigators to claim that they’ve caught spirit activity on film…
Amazing what an ignorance of optics and camera technology can produce in the way of conclusions…
