What about orbs with a tail or that appear to move?
Another 'type' of orb that seems to cause excitement is the apparent 'moving orb'. In fact a number of websites advise that 'moving orbs' are more likely to be paranormal. There appears to be no explanation offered for this, although it is probably because they are 'unusual' - different to the 'common or garden' orb - and therefore special.
Moving orbs
This question is surprisingly easy. These moving orbs are often just three or more normal orbs that overlap each other. The fact that they are a similar size and definition usually points to the idea of them being rather close to one another. Often this is the result of larger objects (such as insects) as they are capable of producing multiple 'highlights'.
Orbs with tails
Now orbs with 'tails' really are moving! However the fact that the vast majority of such photos are taken outdoors is the first clue: they are rain. This occurs because rain falls faster than the time it takes for the camera to record an image.
Another striking - and unusual - observation here is that these tails always have seem to be stretching downwards (albeit diagonally on occasion) whereas common sense would dictate that the tail should be above the orb (as it is falling downwards, in line with gravity).
The phenomena is masterfully explained on the ASSAP website, here, so there seems little need to rehash the subject here.
