re. Ross Coulhart's dumb sphere:
An artist who acquired several of these spheres from a value manufacturer drove through Jacksonville in 1971 and lost a few from the roof rack of his VW bus. This was reported back in 1974 but gotta keep an open mind, right?

It rolls because it's not perfectly round. It has bits inside from the re-machining process to make it rounder.
It's part of a ball check valve when covered in rubber. Comes in all sizes.
Does Ross chew ANYTHING before swallowing whole?

*valve manufacturer
Another possible origin of the Betz sphere: a nearby paper mill produced an identical one from their ball check valve back in 1974. But nope, it's from outer space I tell ya!
Another cause of "mysterious" spheres - this time the ones that fall out of the sky:
