What are these, Orbs?

[fatelk]

I assume your cameras have infrared LEDs for night vision? It sure looks to me like a reflection of some kind on the lens, IR light reflecting off a tiny bug, gnat, or piece of dust.

That's just what it looks like to me, but I've been known to be wrong.

Otherwise maybe:

While I don't have a answer, I noticed that the large, faint, round balls always come up from the left or center and leave up and to the right. Don't think they would be methane balls with the uniformity of movement. Methane would move with the wind direction as John said, but these don't, they seem to follow the same track. If there were a airport nearby, that might cause aircraft to shine their landing lights in a sort of uniform movement. Thats all I got.

It's hard to tell because the flashlight beam does not stay in one place it keeps moving. Have you tried to hold the flashlight more steady?

[Thundarstick]

In a few IT seems to just bebop rite across the FOV, then IT seems to come to the edge of the lenses, think about what direction to go, and then move on.

The one thing I noticed in you pictures is that wind chime under the camera. Does it have any thing stray light can reflect off of, or be refracted through? Can you post some clips from about the same to when you are home vs these?

Yup, Thought about the wind chime about 6 months ago. Tried to make it reflect light, tried to make it duplicate with lights off and camera on, no luck.

No airport within a hundred miles or so.

LOL, it's not me. The only time I catch these lights or whatever they are is when we are gone from home several days.

Try switching cameras around to make sure it's not a glitch in the camera.

[Mr_Sheesh]

Could it be a multiple reflection / refraction inside the camera's optics maybe?

[abunaitoo]

Sometimes......
It's better just not knowing.
There are a lots of things that, to this day, have no explanation.
There are also things we should not want to know.
No matter what they say, science cannot explain everything.

[Down South]

Well, it seems that many of you have came up with the same ideas that I had plus several other ideas. None of which I can say, yes, that must be it...
Whatever it is, it doesn't bother me or scare me. I just wish that I could ID something. As I've said, since I've moved back home, whatever it is seems to be gone.

When Down South is away, the Orbs will play?

[OldBearHair]

You might call some of those people that have all that night equipment that go out in search of Bigfoot. They could probably give a hundred and fourteen reasons for those lights floating across your porch.

[Walks]

It's either the evil SPIRIT of your mother-in-law's ghost.
Or swamp gas.

Or if she's still with us, just her evil SPIRIT hanging around.
Or swamp gas.

Then again it could be somebody taking AMBIEN, out for a stroll with a flashlight.
Or swamp gas.

Very first video, look at the chairs at the 2-3 second mark, a circle of light crosses them seeming to follow the movement of the orb.

I have enjoyed that comment. I got a good chuckle out of it.

I think its from someone night fishing. Boats coming by with lights that are reflecting on the porch area. The majority of the orbs seem to go from left bottom to right top in the camera shot. A light from a boat coming along the lake might reflect off the water and cause the phenomenon you're seeing.

My guess is because of the first picture you of the porch you sent. It looks like you can see the lake off the corner of the porch in the distance.

Looks like a ghost... get your 15 minutes of fame on Ghost Hunters!!!

[lightman]

We have mysterious things on game cameras sometimes that we can't explain. I also just recently changed the security system at my house and added a few cameras. I have the ability to access the cameras with my phone. One of them gets lots more bugs than the other one. It would be interesting to know the answers to all of this but it may never happen.

[gwpercle]

Stay home , sit in a chair , and be very quite until they show up....
If they don't show up , then you know it's ALIENS !
