The Fort George Island Sphere: A 22-Pound Object Explained as a Ball-Check Valve
To the point
Antoine and Jerri Betz and their son Terry found a hollow eight-inch, 22-pound metal sphere on Fort George Island in 1974 that rolled and seemed to move after sound or shaking, with official explanations pointing to ordinary hardware like a ball bearing or valve part, and a 2012 Skeptoid analysis arguing it’s likely a Earth-made Bell & Howell ball check valve with movement explained by an uneven floor and balance, plus notes of similar valves in artist scrap metal, making a man-made origin more plausible than aliens.
