HI DREW,

The image has the orb in that location because as it was moving ,
while it was doing its "thing" I  was trying to capture it on
film , I took many pics during this event and never saw any lens
flare through my camera . It is not like the orb posed or stood
still for me to film it, as soon as I saw it in the camera I took
pics, Where it ended up it ended up. I already said that I agree
it looks like lens flare but I know it was not. There is probably
no way I could prove this even if I had 100 other witnesses , it
appears that as long as the so called "experts" voice there
opinions that is the final word, well I think the "experts"
should start to understand that it is possible for them to make
an incorrect assesment of something. If I saw any lens flare
through the camera during this I would say so, I do not want
false or misleading info to be presented to the ufo community.
The orb was very much the color in the pic and I guess it is
possible for lens flare and the orb to be close in colors.

I am not new to the ufo field and have many years of experience
and I do not put out what I believe are false reports or
pictures.

Is it possible for any of the film "experts" to plot the lens in
the camera to know if the camera is capable of producing lens
flare at that part of the lens? Is it impossible to get lens
flare in the middle / center of a image? I do have other pics of
this ORB and I might consider releasing them if I can be
convinced that this is lens flare but so far no one in my opinion
has done that.

I have seen many orb pics, some were of orbs of different colors
some white and most if not all were called lens flare by the
"experts" at some point in time. So I guess as long as a orb is
the color and in a possible posiotin to be considered lens flare,
thats what the "experts" will call it, even if that is
incorrect.

I thank all the people who have emailed with there opinions and
am not in the least bit bothered by the negative ones, I think
this is what should be.

So, I do no know what else I can say about the event except I
would be glad to take a lie detector test / voice stress analysis
etc to help support what I claimed happened.

thanks,
ALEX CAVALLARI
