🧵The Betz Sphere: The Metallic Sphere That Terrified the U.S. Government (and May Have Been Swapped by Hynek)
This story is one of the most bizarre, buried, and heavily suppressed cases in UFO history.
Let’s unravel it.👇
1/
In 1974, a family in Jacksonville, Florida found a strange metallic sphere on their property after a brush fire.
It was heavy, seamless and perfectly spherical.
It began to move on its own.
This was the beginning of what would be called the Betz Sphere incident, and it wasn't a hoax!
2/
The ball could roll uphill and respond to sound and music.
It would hum almost like it was resonating.
The family thought it might be military tech or a buried satellite.
So they did what any rational person would do and called the Navy.
3/
The Navy took the ball and ran tests.
X-rays revealed 3 internal spheres, one of them irregularly shaped and with a tiny antenna.
It wasn’t hollow but it wasn’t a bearing.
The sphere was definitely wasn’t ordinary.
Then it got weird.
4/
After two weeks, the Navy returned the ball, but it was different.
The family claimed the ball no longer moved and that it had a seam which wasn’t there before.
When they took it for another X-ray, the “antenna” inside was gone.
5/
This led to a quiet but explosive theory that the original ball had been swapped.
Enter J. Allen Hynek, the famed astronomer turned UFO expert.
He visited the family and asked to keep the ball overnight in his room, to which they agreed.
But something changed after that.
6/
Hynek’s own son later claimed that two mysterious spheres were kept in their basement for years.
One was perfectly smooth with no seam.
None of the family ever knew where they came from.
But now we do.
One of them may have been the original Betz sphere.
7/
Why would Hynek do this?
There are rumors he continued working with the U.S. Air Force long after Project Blue Book ended.
Some say he was tasked with collecting real artifacts for covert study.
If so, the Betz sphere wasn’t the first.
It might’ve just been the most dangerous to let go public.
8/
Grant Cameron tracked all of this down, from the Navy’s interest to Battelle’s involvement.
The ball’s impossible metallurgy and strange behavior.
And the eerie pattern of orb sightings near nuclear sites, just like those seen above Minot AFB.
9/
So what was the Betz Sphere?
Some say it was alien, while others believe it was U.S. black tech, perhaps a drone or probe used for surveillance.
Either way, someone wanted it back, and they got it.
The one left behind was just a shell.
10/
The Betz sphere saga connects to the Buga Sphere, Wilbur Smith’s monitor spheres and even Skinwalker Ranch, Brandon Fugal’s own recovered orb (yes, he has one)
If this is real, it’s a tech far older than we’ve been told.
11/
Was it surveillance, propulsion research,biological interface or unknown material science?
One thing is very clear, they didn’t want it tested or disclosed and they sure as hell didn’t want it rolling around the Bates family living room.
