green_girl User ID: 49871189 Canada 11/26/2013 01:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "There are many published news reports of the incident, and from these reports, we can glean that what the Betzes reported at the time is considerably less remarkable than what is now claimed on some of the paranormal websites that promote the Betz sphere as an alien artifact. For one thing, the ball sat quietly on display inside the Betz home for nearly two weeks, and is not reported to have ever moved on its own at all, except for when someone took it down to experiment with it. Neither the US Navy nor J. Allen Hynek reported observing the ball do anything unusual whatsoever. Neither corroborated Carl Willson's assertion that it had odd magnetic properties, or that it was broadcasting a radio signal. The only thing Hynek and his fellow Enquirer panelists noted was that it rattled when shaken." [link to skeptoid.com] :malefav: I love this place!! |

The main question for me would be-'where is it today?' followed by -"why has no one investigated this further if so many questions were left on the table?" |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48502854 well, as they said in the article, a lot of what people know of the sphere has been made up and was not part of the original story itself. :malefav: I love this place!! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 3870844 United States 11/27/2013 01:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My only problem with the skeptoid article is that it ignored the details of the first reporter to investigate the sphere, among other details. The original story link seemed to present information in more complete detail, including Naval investigations conclusions, leaving the question open ended, while the skeptoid article had more of an agenda and forces an unproven conclusion upon the reader. (The Volkswagen story seemed to be disproven at the time). The puzzling convergence of both stories is that no one can seem to find any solid information on this since the mid 70's. That leaves things fuzzier than skeptoid would have you believe. |
