Catch me up: Plasma Orbs
Orbs recur across the corpus: in the contested MH370 footage, in fusion-adjacent engineering claims, and in eyewitness accounts of unidentified phenomena. Ashton Forbes argues they are toroidal plasmas - contained, field-structured, and artificial. This dossier maps what the sources actually claim about orb behavior, the plasma-physics framing, and where the argument leans on established science versus extends far beyond it.
