OTC Knight, so which crystal ball are you looking at? There are two major brands...The Ort Cloud and the Sub Galaxy. I find better results with the Sub Galaxy, although right now the ball has been very hazey. Every once-in-awhile, I see red and blue lights move through the orb at a fairly fast rate.
Or maybe you are taking the new normal smoking and seeing images. Although, I can get a better "feel" for what I am watching if I use the Sub Galaxy. And you may be able to buy a unit from fine retailers in your area.
