The Betz Sphere
The Betz Sphere: Alien Artifact, Secret Weapon, or Just a Steel Ball?
In 1974, a Florida family found a strange metal sphere in the woods near their home. It rolled uphill, vibrated with music, and seemed to have a mind of its own. Was it alien technology, Cold War spy gear, or just a heavy steel ball with great timing? In this episode, we explore the bizarre case of the Betz Sphere—one of the strangest mysteries of the 1970s.

📰 Early media frenzy and scientific investigations that couldn't explain its behavior
🧪 Tests conducted by the U.S. Navy and a panel of scientists, including J. Allen Hynek
👽 Theories: alien surveillance probe, Cold War spy device, perpetual motion machine
🧲 Fringe ideas: haunted object, interdimensional artifact, or suppressed Tesla tech
📉 Mundane explanation: industrial valve or check ball—backed by companies like Bell & Howell
