So far from my small amount of time researching it, I think 99% of orb imaging is due to almost molecule sized particles in the air. They are not visible with the naked eye, but a flash or strong beam of light reflects off of them and makes them visible. The close proximity to the lens blurs it out. With that said, it doesn't explain all of the 'orbs' phenomenon, and further tests will be needed to differentiate between air particulates (and insects) and Orbs. I have also noticed during the camera flash sequence small specks reflected back out of the corner of my eye.

It would be of great help to determine the exact conditions under which specks or particles cause orb-like imagery, then use that as a control to find any orbs that are not related to reflected particles, and any Orb hunting would have to be able to firmly differentiate between the two.

Below is an image taken with flash with the camera giving a pre-flash to set the focus before the full flash, what happened is that the pre-flash set the focus to the particles right in front of the lens and you can see that the background is now out of focus.

It is actually astounding to me that the air is so full of these minute, invisible particles. A study could be made in itself as to what these particles are. In the above image, there are a lot of solid looking spheres, very evident particles of some kind, and not to be confused with "Orbs".

So the search continues....:)
