8. Well with UFOs the size and speed and distance to the observer are easy

for the observer to misjudge.

Perhaps that's just backscatter off of particles in the air, and they are closer to the camera and light source than one assumes (they are more around the camera than around the dying woman) so their movement seems not right for dust -- in which case they are also out of focus due to how close they are explaining the blurry orb appearance, and only backscattering over a narrow angle due to the single light source which would account for why they appear to fade in and out.

Or it is something supernatural.

Everyone can decide for themselves which seems more plausible to them.

The question is were these orbs seen by the people in the room Big Blue Marble Apr 2 #15

She was the only one in the room besides her mother. BigmanPigman Apr 2 #19

It looks like there is a window to outside or to an adjacent room Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2 #26

I would guess dust, too. Being that someone is in the room, their breath could be pushing the dust around. C Moon Apr 2 #23
