Apparently this is news worthy material on a reputable news site.

MOTION-detecting cameras at a Kansas gym have recorded a mysterious white orb floating around fitness equipment, unnerving the gym's owner.
Security cameras at the Overland Park gym videotaped the image hovering and lingering around dumbbells in the middle of the night, local media reported.
The motion-detecting system at the gym had been activated nine times, baffling owner Kim Peterson and the security firm, CNN affiliate local6.com reported.
Ms Peterson said she was sure there was a logical explanation but the security company said the system had ruled out bugs, dust or headlights from cars passing outside.
"I called my security company and said, 'Is there a lightbulb going out or do I need to get up and clean the lens?" Ms Peterson said.
"They reviewed it and said, 'We have no idea what that is'."

It is amazing how a small insect crawling around the glass of a camera lens can cause such confusion. Similar 'ghost' videos have been seen before and are easily replicated. If you ask Mark nicely he might point you to one he sent me a while back.

Correction: news.com.au is not, that is NOT, a reputable news site. I wouldn't wrap chips in their hardcopy tabloid.
Here's two videos on insect ghosts:

badscience.net is a great site that shames a lot of the UK papers publishing pseudo science.
