Sometimes people come into our lives that change everything.
Sometimes that change can come from an object. In March of 1974,
the Betz family of Fort George Island, Florida found such an
object, while investigating their property for wildfire damage.
It appeared to be a shiny steel ball, measuring 7.96 inches in
diameter and weighing 21.34 pounds. Being a simple, yet so
out-of-place item in the middle of nowhere, it caught the
attention of the eldest Betz son Terry, who took it home as a
souvenir. The family, and eventually the rest of the world, would
soon learn that this was no ordinary metal ball. The sphere would
demonstrate highly unusual properties, like rolling that would
indicate self-guidance, vibrating and emitting high-pitched
frequencies, and a strange magnetic quality. These actions would
be witnessed not only by the family but by the military,
scientists and news media, all eager to determine who made this
thing and why. While most authorities would go on record as
believing the sphere was human-made, all would admit that it was
no doubt weird, and no group could come forward to claim it was
positively theirs. In the end, it would not be the sphere so much
that would change the lives of the Betz family, but the people
who were interested in it. As one might expect, if you possess an
item that breaks the laws of physics, some organizations will go
to great lengths to acquire it.
