It's a bit of an old story, but I was able to dig up new information not in the last batch of podcasts/articles about the sphere. LOOK, I am skeptical and I think it's PROBABLY man-made. BUT, the sphere was examined by a LOT of people -- including US military scientists. I have an open mind about this one.
AJ, you are my favorite RUclipsr. I enjoy learning new things from you and "Heckle Fish". I truly believe that your channel is going to be a massive success. I also believe that you would be an amazing host on your own tv show.
I'm so glad you're doing this story bc if anyone can get out all the itzty, bitzy details about a mystery, it's you! That's why I'm excited about this one. I'm on the fence about it, but after tomorrow, I may not be. ☺️
Excellent channel. You've got me interested in subjects that I have never found enticing before. Keep up the excellent work. P.S. Hated the fish at first, but the damnable thing has grown on me. I see why you chose to have a talking goldfish. He's already outlived ninety nine percent of goldfish. Who knew tequila and blackjack was the secret to goldfish longevity. You should do an episode on that.
Legit! Their Toys probably consist of magnetism and connections to consciousness while ours are built from matter Who can really know what these beings perceive compared to ourselves 🤔
@dylanwood4164 why do you believe there is different perceptions of how we see things? Like there's 0 scientific proof that 4th and 5th dimensions are actually possible, it's all speculation.
Can’t help but think of Bob Lazar when this sphere is talked about. When Bob was reverse engineering the propulsion system in the UFO he was working on, he talks about how it was “powered” by a sphere that was roughly the size of a basketball that had anti-gravity properties. Maybe the two are similar! Maybe not! But very cool to connect other UFO stories and conspiracy theories with one another. I wonder if Bob would recognize this sphere 👀
Also Bob Lazar mentioned on the Joe Rogan podcast. Scientists tried opening a sphere type reactor with a plasma cutter. Which resulted in some form of nuclear blast.
First thing I thought of to! this is exactly what he was talking about plus if you put a load to it. it activates a force field around it and then you can't touch it haha pretty cool technology from the zeta race
I grew up in Jacksonville and my family was friends with the Betz family. This was a legit object with unexplainable properties. I know it's hard to know what to believe sometimes, but this story is real.
No it’s not. My brother was friends with the son. This was known as a hoax for 30 years. Now it’s making the rounds again . Social media $$ will bring anything back from the dead
This story is new to me too. It is amazing the government returned the sphere to the couple. I find your research and delivery to be of the highest caliber! You are so entertaining. And your wise-cracking fishy friend is fun! I look forward to seeing you grow!
They found Saturday Night Live's "Happy Fun Ball"!! Do you want to find the answers to the deepest secrets in this entire Universe? (Including what you are and why you are here?) I have the answers, just a click away. I don't receive RUclips comment notifications, but I'm easy to find.
I am a night custodian at an elementary school and I listen to your channel every single day while I work alone. This channel has easily become my absolute favorite on all of RUclips. (Not directly linked to this video, I just happened to finally comment after this video) Keep doing what you do and we'll keep learning with you! Thank you 🤙
@@kenboulder212 uhm. Im allowed to listen to whatever I want, with or without ear buds 😂 and idk, I think they like the idea of their employees being educated 🤔
you want the truth of where we come from, & why we are here..if your educated, youll get it.. viper tv, sumerian tablets.. also, in the maharbratah, ?.. it tells of a war, for possession of earth, by 3 alien races,, useing hell weapons... sodom & gomorrah, were nuked,, by 1 of our creators,,enki.. enlil, was told,,not by god, by his commander,,to destroy mankind,,flood.
I've just recently discovered the Why Files, and I have to admit that I'm hooked. AJ's delivery, coupled with hecklefish's interjections, make for an eminently listenable experience. Well done!
@@jaco7675 gotta agree I didn't like hecklefish at first. Now he's grown on me, and I'm usually waiting for a comment by him. Can usually guess what he would say, but still funny and refreshing normally.
the talking goldfish is annoying and really not a necessary part of the delivery. He (the actual human narrator) does quite a good job on his own without props. But it is what it is,
My grandfather joined the military in WW2, worked his way up supposedly, and was black ops in korea doing terrorist attacks against korean targets. He tested a lot of stuff for the military too, such as jet packs for instance. I never believed him until I saw a story on jet packs a few years back that gave the same reason they weren't widely used as my grandfather did to me as a kid (too much fuel expenditure, too short of a distance). So now I wonder if his idea that the military creates UFOs is true too. He said they'd fly above the base and could remotely shut off any electronics. That they ran on magnetism and refueled through magnetic fields and could even siphon power from the planet itself. The magnetic properties of this sphere remind me of what he described as its fuel/energy source.
Yeah the fact the government just didn’t outright take it and disappear the family/frame them for something terrible is by far the most shocking detail of this story.
Just like Phil Schneider. He worked on underground bases for the gov. He was found dead with something wrapped around his neck and all his lecture material disappeared.
I think youtube algorithm has tagged this as conspiracy nutter content because of the subjects discussed. Despite that AJ does a good job of being objective and often debunking the wilder claims, the AI just sees crazy town and doesn't recommend the channel.
Actually his growth has gone exponential in past couple months. About 2K added per day. Still not representative of the quality. Disclaimer: I own a Hecklefish T.
It made me really upset and frustrated to find out they got screwed over and someone switched out the sphere. They seemed like nice people who genuinely just wanted answered and it was their property. Humans can be so ugly sometimes I wish they got to figure out what it really was. Atleast now I know not to every tell anyone if I ever come across anything like this. Ever.
@@lt7895 forreal it really sounded like it was from out of this world one of the best pieces of evidence probably. All things like that eventually "disappear" and never see the light of day again. This sphere, fossils or Skeletons of giants, Minnesota iceman, etc
I don't think this was mentioned, but the fact that the family was investigating a brush fire on their property when they discovered it could mean that it came in from outside our planet and was superheated on re-entry and started a fire. I wonder if they found it in a crater also?
@@dutchman063 isn’t that the point of his channel? To present folklore, urban legend, cultural myth and even a bit of conspiracy theory in a fun, story like format that’s enjoyable.
Thanks for the videos. i wish it was 10 million people tellng you this, but these videos are fantastic and i look forward to them every single day. well made. not too sceptic not too insane haha thanks a lot! do u do any live streams?
This is just a small part of the whole story. This family experienced a bunch of "odd phenomena" prior to this. UFO sightings around the property and strange noises WITHIN. The family stopped talking to everyone about this but Astonishing legends podcast was able to get a few more interviews with the family.
That's so Weird that your show is about this silver ball. People have photos & video of them flying around, and it was a question put to the Galactic Federation, on their "Galactic Messages". The Taygetans, who are from Pleiades system, said they are "Drones". They said some are remotely piloted from their home planet but some are programmed from ships. They "monitor" the planet, and different ones do different things like take samples. They didn't get too specific. I sometimes get the feeling they're not telling us everything. Gee, I wonder why. 👍 Great show. I dig Hecklefish. 👏
Every week, when a new video lands, you’ve gone up by another 100,000 subscribers. I said about a month ago that you’d hit 1 million within 2 months. I stand by that. Well done, mate! Very well deserved!
Mostly bot accounts. There's many videos about how over half the viewers of youtube are bots. Bots literally have taken over the internet, most the articles you read unless politically motivated are written by bots.
I thought a while back what a crime it was that this dude hadn't blown up anymore than he had. He was at about 250k then, and I've not looked again, since seeing your comment. Holy crap! that's a half million subs in probably less than a year! Way to go AJ! He's definitly on the tragectory I think he deserves now. 100k a week.... crazy talk. I agree with your prediction.
As a fellow fan of Art Bell, I wonder if you are familiar with one of his guests he had on back in 1995, who he called Mad Man Marcum? I would love to see you do an episode on this story and hopefully find out what has become of him and his experiments. I am also a huge fan of skinwalker ranch as well, and though it has become quite popular recently, there is still a lot to cover on the area and would make for a great episode. Love the show, keep up the good work.
Oh yeah mad man Markham! I was thinking about him about 2 weeks ago I don't know if it was a video that AJ had one it probably was but yeah I heard him when he was on art show and Coast to Coast and then about 10 years when art came back on with midnight in the desert can you round it up a madman again did you happen to hear that interview if not I think you can find it on RUclips under midnight in the desert and you know art Bell mad man Malcolm but yeah he dug them back up and it wasn't as funny as the first couple times he was on Coast to Coast but it was still pretty good hey I don't know you have to listen to it but yeah I was just reading a couple comments and I found it funny that you put it there and I was thinking about it no more than about 2 weeks ago anyway have a good weekend I use the microphone and didn't proofread it but you'll get the gist of the comment
I really miss Art Bell. It’s just too bad he died as MANY of his guests “stories” were gaining traction of truth. No, not all of them, but enough of them to seriously raise eyebrows of skeptics. R.I.P Art
Ok, I'll admit that I'm always a bit disturbed by these alien images in your thumbnails but I can't stop binge watching The Why Files. I can't believe it took this long for RUclips to recommend your channel, and now I am making up for the lost time! Congrats on finding a perfect combination of world class storytelling, stellar editing, suspense and comedy. Hecklefish is perhaps my favourite character of all time. Forget Disney, Dreamworks or anything else out there - Hecklefish is WAY more entertaining! I had to come here and leave a thumbs up and comment on this video after listening to him singing Foo Fighters!
I agree I just discovered this about 5 days ago and ive watched probably 30 videos already. I love hecklefish, he says what AJ cant say because youtube already demonetized him, i dont know the details but hecklefish is more than entertainment
It's a cool ass story that's for sure. I've never once heard of it before and don't know anyone that has either. Maybe the story didn't make it across the pond. ?? respect and luv from the east midlands. UK!👊👍💛😃
@@TheWhyFiles another great one I’d never heard of. Sounds like a downed ‘orb’ especially with resonance reactivity, 140 atomic weight, but I’m guessing we will never know. Appreciate learning new things like this, and how you tell the story - build it up and tear it down = honest accounting so the viewer can decide for themselves 👍👊🇺🇸🤘
I'm in my late fifties so, what I or those in my generation were shows like,"In Search Of" or "Unexplained Mysteries" not bad shows but, since checking out WF, I'm a fan for the next half of my life!!! Thanks AJ & Hecklefish!!!.
AJ, yesterday you had 709k subs. Today you have 714k subs. You are exploding big time. Your channel is by far one of the best on the youtube. Looking forward to this new video. Thank you for such great content. Cheers!
I recall this story from when I was a younger man but I had totally forgotten about it until I saw the sphere on this episode. As always, you two did a great job! How about doing an episode on the Vela Incident in the future? Mysterious, possible nuclear explosion on some small island in the Indian ocean? Cheers and keep up the great work.
IF ANY OF THIS WAS REAL THERE WOULD BE VIDEO OF IT ALL OVER THE INTERNET I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS ANYMORE THERE'S NO REASON NOT TO HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING ANYBODY SAYS THAT'S HARD TO BELIEVE
So if something doesn’t have some sort of video about it on the internet then it didn’t happen? Glad the justice system doesn’t work like that. What a small mind you have. Hate to break it to you, but a simple google search will tell you that it is real. IDIOT.
@@allhandsonsteamdeck1440 ummm, you saw the pictures right? You know they didn't have digital media back then right? So they took pictures. I don't know what you are on about... And please... STOP YELLING!
@@allhandsonsteamdeck1440 Everything eventually becomes old news. Plus, learn a little history, like what was available when. Not relevant to this video, but not everything put on the net is allowed to remain on the net. It's truth or non truth is not always relevant to it viability.
I really dig your videos man. I think I've watched them all in the last two weeks. Not to trigger any of Hecklefish's hat needs, but the seamless construction reminds me of the way Bob Lazar (pardon the spelling if I botched that) talked about the devices he allegedly worked on at S4, also being without any commonly noticeable seems or welds or evidence of manufacturing. They mentioned that at the time we knew nothing really of 3d printing type methods of manufacture and that today we might view it from a different perspective. Also seems like if you wanted to make something like this, you'd have to have a large magneton collider of some kind and that raises other questions about capability and application. I wonder if you could use a molten vat of the steel alloy and maybe other elements to collect the element during repeated bombardment, letting it create its own cavity as the non-magnetic steel cools and regains its ability to become magnetized sort of forcing the cavity away from the core elements. then it would just be a matter of aligning fluctuating electromagnetic fields under varied power levels to make it move. There's a group of scientists working on a type of propulsion using mechanical displacement with a net force to one direction, which probably doesn't work (negligibly if at all even in their so far unrepeatable experiments), but if this does what the family claimed it did, it could be used with a device to direct the field and power level of the field in such a way that it would act against other magnetic fields and give you directional thrust. very neat.
I feel like that made this worse lol I tried to at least expand on my thoughts, and I apologize for the format since I'm developing them more wholly as I type, and I apologize also for the rampant grammatical errors since I'm on my phone and it is small and I have big fingers 😅 Creating an object like this is only maaaaaaybe possible on earth today, and probably not at all, but certainly not then. In 100 years it might be common. Today it's probably impossible, in the 70s it certainly was.
Still waiting on Tesla/Pyramids and Eye of The Sahara/Atlantis mashup episode, especially cause you mentioned solar burst that melted ice caps and flooded pyramids around 13500 years ago (about same time Atlantis was apparently flooded) and satellite photos showing big masses directed west of the Eye of Sahara as it could be a thing!
Eye of Africa IS ATLANTIS! Dig into that story pls. Btw, cant stand the East Coast accented fish. Find a pet with a southern accent that isnt so irritating. Love what you do!
I can't tell you how much I love the way you tell a story. I knew all about this story, and you still made it very interesting. As always, you also leave room for us, your loyal viewers, to use our brains and make up our own minds. This is such a great channel, I'm sure it won't be much longer until you hit a million subscribers.
The most amazing thing about this story (to me, anyway) is that I'd never heard it before, even though I'm a life-long fan of UFO and paranormal stories AND I'm from Florida.....so thanks.
Thought I'd add my weird story to the mix. My grandfather was in the 101st in Europe during WW2. While things were starting to wrap up, him and a bunch of guys spent a couple nights in a castle. Everyone was looking for the "spoils of war" and he happened across an old sword and sheath. There was writing on both pieces, but it wasn't anything he'd seen before. There weren't any jewels on the sheath or sword and it wasn't gold, but he liked the carvings in the metal, so he sent it home where it was waiting for him in Palo Alto a few months later when he got back home. A coworker was looking at the sword on day after work and noticed how easily you could bend it, something grandpa never tried. At the time he was a welder working at Stanford, so thought maybe someone there could tell him about his sword. He tried different deptments for a could of weeks before finding someone that could tell him about his looted find. Grandpa asked how old it was. the guy said it wasn't the age that makes it special, but where it was from. The guy said it was from Mu. Grandpa didn't know where that was or had ever heard of it. I assume the guy went into more detail, but Grandpa didn't elaborate, only to say the sword was now in storage up at their house at Lake Shasta. I always bugged him to see the sword and finally when I was about 17 and up at their lake house, he took me under the deck where a bunch of barrels where. One by on he opened each barrel and dumped the contents out, becoming more frustrated with each one. Finally saying one of the barrels was missing! 20 years later, that story came back to me. Grandpa wasn't one to tell tall tales or exaggerate, so when a search of the net told me that Mu was the Atlantis of the Pacific, I thought someone at Stanford was messing with him. First, Atlantis isn't (or wasn't) a real place, so it's doubtful Mu is. But I always wondered where that sword was really from, who took it, and where it is now. Not as cool as an alien beach ball but it was a fun story when I was a kid.
700K subs, 220K views in 10 hours - AJ and HF are getting there! You guys are better than most TV shows! Thanks for the hard work and interesting information that you share. First time learning about the Betz sphere - really fascinating. love from the Philippines.
here is rub as soon as i heard after govt testign they said element 143 was inside , i know this was a trick/govt trap There can be no more than 137 elements. This limitation of the number of elements follows from the fact that there is a maximum speed in the Universe. That is, from the limit of the speed of light in a vacuum. so the govt KNOWING THIS even back in 70s perpetuated the start of a lie this is a trick to get foriegners whom they watched all come to see it as the video starts saying clever way to get spooks on other side expose themselves
I wish I had a little sphere buddy. It made me a bit sad when they tried to roll it off the table and it rolled the other way trying to save its self. Maybe it is afraid of being dropped and that is why it rolled up the table. If it was me I would put the sphere on a cushion so it could watch TV with me then I would take it on adventures around Brighton with me as normally I'm always on my own. 🙂 Maybe I will find one of my own one day 🙂 Cool videos. I really do enjoy watching these videos and Hecklefish is awesome 🙂 Have a nice day everybody 🙂🙂
...also in Japan some Japanese kids found a similar sphere too, I read about decades ago. I remember reading about that they visited it at some field, revisited again and again. Eventually it didn't appear anymore, I read that it was doing weird stuff with the kids, it was friendly toward them. I forgot to mention, it hovered above ground.
The sphere that's described is similar to the one that Bob Lazar had described when he was at Area 51 studying the propulsion system on one of the alien craft.
Yep thats the first thing that came to mind when I watched this. But the super heavy element Lazar describes affects gravity so it would surely weigh much more than 22 or 23 pounds.
I was on a plane a few years ago coming back from holiday, I was looking out the window and saw exactly the same sphere as this, it passed under the plane, I stopped telling people about it because nobody believed me.
I live in SW Florida. About three years ago, I was at a barn liquidation sale near the glades. It was an elder gentlemen who was wanting to clear all the clutter on the property. Farm equipment, tools, tractor out back. In the barn were tables set up with anything and everything on them. I saw this antique dark brown leather bag with actually real wooden handles on it. I went to pick it up and it was heavy. I was like, shoot. This still has the ball in it. Thought it would be cool to see what an old bowling ball would look like and feel. I took it out and it was not a glossy looking ball with a shiny finish. It was a smoky black color. The guy came towards me because I was turning the ball all which ways and I could not find the holes for my fingers. I was like wow, this old ball can still be customized and drilled for my grip... He said the ball was special. That I did not need to ever drill holes in it. That the ball moves by itself. He was leaning all over me and made me feel strange. Very awkward moment. But then my daughter and wife saved me and called for me to come over to them. So I handed the ball back to the guy. Usually bowling balls, even not drilled still have the weight and information on them. This didn't. And I have held 15lb balls before, this was definately heavier. It did not feel like a normal ball either, it had like a ting feeling to it. When I was walking away, I looked back and it looked like the guy was talking or even whispering something to that ball. I know the Florida heat gets to people, but that was just a very crazy experience. Coming across this video, it just gets me thinking...
I was on a plane coming back from Spain when I saw one of these spheres flying around under the plane, nobody believes me. Before I could film it on my phone it disappeared.
Why have I never heard of The Betz Sphere? I thought I’d heard of most cases but I’ve never heard about this and I doubt that I would’ve forgotten about this!🤔. Great job on the video HeckleFish, oh and that guy who works for ya!😂
@@purefoldnz3070 - really? I had no idea. I’ve never heard of this story before and I used to be a regular Coast to Coast listener (until the same callers became unbearable). I also listen to Fade to Black. I guess if it was debunked, that’s why I’ve never heard of it.
And here I am thinking it was very famous. In fact I was searching for an episode about Betz sphere on this channel and accidentally saw this video. Now I don't remember but some of the crucial facts are missing from this version of the story.
I wish you had a new story every day! I didn't like Hecklefish in the beginning, but now I just love him! This is such a fun and interesting channel. Hope you cover flat earth theory someday.
If you think the answer to the fermi paradox is the dark forest, then this thing is terrifying, I am glad that they suspected it had an element 140 in its internal structure stabilised by magnetic confinement, before anyone decided to crack it open. This sounds like a civilization killer, if you are advanced enough to drill into it, then you are a threat and your world needs to be eliminated. The scary part is where is it now? It's a literal time bomb.
This is remarkably like the ones Dennis Hopper, (Easy Rider actor), found on his property, one of which he gave to a friend who reported that it occasionally moved of it's own volition without any reason and no outside influence and displayed other strange properties.
Exactly, that one is the sphere being analysed by Prof. Garry Nolan. It's just like this one.I wonder if the Ross Coulthard knows about the Betz sphere..? Two of the same changes the whole narrative. And even if the Betz sphere can't be found, there are videos, X-rays and witnesses that can prove what it was.
@@exoexpansion Yeah, I saw that show too, the ball was owned by some ex rock musician record producer or something, who lives out in the desert. Interesting, at the Betz Ball period of the 70s, they also mentioned about other balls found in Australia after UFO sightings previously (1960s early 70s?)!.....perhaps Ross should be looking a little closer to home first?.
Hey Brother-,ive read and listened to all kinds of stuff on the Betz sphere. But never heard about this story. People Re referncing a documentary or something...where did you hear about this with Hopper?
This story and therefore this video is COMPLETE AND UTTER BULLSHIT. He should do a video on WHY you people are so gullible. Look at his “sources” for the video. Vague “wikiwands” pages?! WHY is NONE of the behavior ever FILMED? They have video footage of the press conference but NOT of the ball rolling up plexi-glass?! Give me a fucking break people. Shame on you for buying this bs and shame on him for peddling this bs for clicks.
Should do an alien implant/abduction episode. Many people claim there’s no evidence when really there’s boat loads it’s extremely interesting. Testimony from many credible people.
I can see the military’s point of view. When I was a kid in the 60’s someone had found an iron ball that had a big key in the side, as if to wind it. We traded each other different cool stuff for ownership of the “ball-bearing “. I don’t know what ever became of it but I found out years later that it was a civil war cannon grenade. In other words unexploded ordinance.
Luckily it had the big key in the plug. The shells were filled with powder, and sealed with a bronze plug as a safety. When used the gun commander would call for "6 second fuse" or "4 second fuse" and the gunner would cut a guncotton burnable fuse to the seconds of burn length, remove the bronze plug, insert the cotton plug....then the shell would be loaded. Firing the cannon would light the fuse and it would burn in flight. 1860s Shells with still burnable fuses and powder have been found.
interesting. however the fact that it has four poles and displays motion. and that the magnetic field increases with heat, seems to point to a much more powerful and capable device. my first thoughts are that the four poles control direction in all planes. so perhaps indeed a part of a antigravity engine. if not actually part of the one of four core components. in some of the earlier UFO pictures we see rounded housings underneath UFO's. Maybe these contained these balls for directional control. As always....Just a thought
Great story! I was in HS in Jacksonville at the time and lived right across the river from Ft. George Island. We used to go over there to fish and hunt for fossils and shark teeth. You should check out the history of the Neff House. It is stranger than the story of the sphere. Best wishes to you and the fish!
I hope you continue providing balance in the narratives that your stories portray AJ. I began to like your channel when getting absorbed by crazy tales that you do a good job in your story telling. I began to love your channel when I realized you followed up your storytelling by attempting to describe the facts of the story in as objective manner you can after the story telling. Never lose this or else your audience will deteriorate to the lowest common denominator... which is fairly low these days.
AKA "your format and ability to grasp your viewers attention with the delivery is impeccable! Keep this amazing, unique style as its rare to find these days and myself, current subscribers and MANY MORE to come will be loyaly greatful."
@@bcrox "Debunking" isn't the word I'd use as it's connotationally charged. Stating the facts of the situation as far as AJ is able to gather regarding the story at hand is more than sufficient. Keep up the great work AJ, love to see your channels growth
This will sound a bit cliche, but I have several friends and family members in various branches of the military and government. For example, my aunt works in the Pentagon doing forensic accounting which is used to track terrorist organizations. Another is my uncle, who was trained in the Navy as a nuclear engineer. There are reports of spheres, like these, within the universe. These spheres basically freely float between and within the solar system, and are considered both alive and inanimate at the same time. The general consensus is that these spheres are "sponges" and almost "living machines". What they do is they, somehow, absorb radiation. They emit no emissions, aside from sound and thermo. But these seem more aligned with some type of "language", and not a byproduct of their consumption. They appear to have some internalized means of locomotion, believed to be derived by producing and fluctuating magnetic fields. By being able to produce, alter and respond to magnetic fields, they are able to push, pull, turn, accelerate, decelerate, float, pitch and spin. So the spheres themselves aren't moving, they are altering magnetic fields, and those fields move them. Like placing two magnets near each other. As for being sponges of radiation, this is where it gets weird. Apparently these spheres absorb radiation, somehow consuming it. Nobody is sure how or why this happens, and nobody knows what it uses this radiation for. What's interesting is radiation is literally just areas of the electromagnetic spectrum, meaning despite how dangerous and destructive it is, radiation is weightless. Therefore, because it has no mass, it is possible for there to be no upper limit on how much radiation any one given sphere can consume. However, absorbing electrons may give it weight over time. Consider how a neutron star can weigh tens of millions of tons, just in the volume of a sugar cube. The sphere, weighing 21 pounds, may not entirely be metallic weight but instead countless eons of electron retention. What's even more strange is that these spheres may be a natural product within the cosmos. It is possible that under specific conditions, dying stars produce them. Whatever the case may be, the sphere physically is just a ball of metal. However, it somehow knows how to respond to radiation, knows how to manipulate magnetic fields to move, uses this movement to seek out areas of high radiation, absorbs that radiation and then leaves. Making these spheres... Sentient. And therefore, potential, alive.
My favorite channel !!! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into research. I am glad channels like yours still exist. Can’t wait for the next episode.
I'm very glad you have so many subs making genuinely thought provoking and challenging topics. Their's clearly a demand for rational, skeptical, and well researched videos by a creator that isn't condescending, isn't a con artist, isn't paranoid/crazy, isn't arrogant, and is fair. I love your channel and sincerely hope it inspires many other conspiracy channels to stop being dishonest and sensationalist. Thanks for the great content.
add isn't dismissive to that list. I don't buy into any of the sort of things talked about on this channel, but I also don't like seeing them dismissed out of hand either. TWF does a great job.
I JUST said that someone needs to re-investigate this sensational story!!! WHERE IN THE HELL IS THIS FAMILY NOW!!!!!!?!?! Surely by now one of them is willing to speak of this?!? It went entirely too quiet and for too long, we need a modern examination of this story. I can’t wait to watch this👍🏼
@@kharis9120 I think there was too much greed and possessiveness surrounding the ball for anyone to discover its purpose. I was the one who was supposed to find it. Who knows what may have happened if I did? I was searching on the other side of the river when the Betz family found it. Perhaps I should have come forward at the time.
There's a theory in chemistry that at a certain point heavier elements will start to get more stable, and might even become non-radioactive. The largest element right now is oganesson, which has a half-life of 0.0007 seconds, so extremely unstable. Maybe 140 is in that stable range.
If anyone is looking for a longer more detailed explanation of this whole event I recommend the Betz Sphere episodes of the Astonishing Legends podcast which interview one of the members of the family who was there at the time. It was the first time I'd heard of this story and I was absolutely hooked from the beginning. Such an interesting story that interests me till this day.
I actually live on the island right next to fort George island in Jacksonville, my dad was friends with the family and even got to see it at party once before it was switched out! Wild story! I wanna get my parents to sit me down with them and interview them!
Yes! Please do this! This is facinating. With youtube now, you don't need to go to the news, so get an interview, let AJ know and please let him feature it here! Definitely checking back to hear an update!!
Heard it before, but I love it how you present it! Makes me wonder whether Coscarelli was somehow inspired by this story when he came up with his killer spheres for the movie Phantasm in 1979😉 Hecklefish rocks btw🤘Keep up the great work!
@@davideppley2895 yep, the tall man was the OG Slenderman. i was probably way to young but im glad i grew up watching movies like the critters, puppet master, and phantasm etc.. i didn't like mustard because of this movie lol
@@Nostrathomas85 Lol, I watched The Birds by Hitchcock as a young child. I hid under the movie theater seat! To this day I shudder when I see large groups of birds stretched across a few trees! AJ you are the master of telling strange tales on RUclips! I love this channel. Even your goofy fish!
There’s another one I remember seeing when I was a kid which was old when I saw it, but it’s from 1976 called Glitterball. That’s about an alien rolling ball.
BOOOOY!!! My friend and I that watched Phantasm when it first came out frequently bring up the flying silver balls and have related them to modern phenomenon as well.
Over here in England not heard of this one so it's always good to learn something new, and this is a really weird one. It would be interesting to see a Why Files on Foo Fighters, the first USAAF report I could find was from 1945 and referred to the phenomenon as "Foo Fire", later reports refer to it as "Foo Fighters", and while these referred mainly to the Pacific war a wartime British newspaper reported similar in Europe even pondering whether they were a new German secret weapon. I've got quite a list of sightings ad accounts but I'd be interested in what the Why Files - and Hecklefish - would make of it?
French pilots were seeing a lot of fireballs flying around. As the word for fire in french is "feu", pronounced very closely to "foo". There might be a connection here
Never knew about the fighters who saw Foo or French Feu Fire in skies. Not surprising when you hear or read some of the Indians or Sumerians early texts about wars in the skies over their heads. Even a picture of George Washington at the Whitehouse seems to have an unidentified flying object in the background.
Erm, he doesn't his videos are left open for further "investigation", nowhere does he state this is a fact period, pure entertainment value, opens conversations but nothing new in the way of "truthing" anything mate. peace.
@@derekbuttery4776 The "truth" of the subject matter. The facts regarding the case. The actual data recorded regarding the aforementioned. Chill boss Peace
Hecklefish loves eating beavers....you guys have certainly grown on me since I started watching WF. A very calming program while simultaneously being terrifying and pretty funny. It’s definitely interesting and your delivery and articulation engage minds of all ages. 3 generations enjoy WF in my home together. The conversations we have about WF material are just like the program...interesting, funny , and terrifying. Thanks AJ & HF & WF.
Interesting story.. I had a subscriber submit a story to me recently about a very reflective sphere that she saw in the sky when she was little. She claimed that it hovered in the air above her and that it gave her a strong feeling as if it was watching her somehow before it flew away... I don't know when this was as the person didn't share with me their age... but I wonder I it was the same sort of thing?
I just discovered this channel a week ago and have already binged every video on it. Definitely my new favorite RUclips channel. Love the content and presentation! Thank you AJ and keep up the good work!
I spent the last 3 days watching every video you have made.. You are truly awesome as a story teller and I think hecklefish is a great prop to smudge the edges so to speak.. Lets get you to that 1 mil subscriber plaque where you belong! Thank you for the entertainment.
The term "foo" isn't just a funny name, it comes from the french word "feu" which means fire. It stems from some of the first sightings of unidentified flying objects over Europe during the second world war.
Wikipedia: The term "foo" was borrowed from [the comic] Smokey Stover by a radar operator in the 415th Night Fighter Squadron, Donald J. Meiers, who, according to most 415th members, gave the foo fighters their name. The comics author, according to himself, read it at the bottom of a Chinese cup.
Four years ago whilst walking in a field in Bavaria, Germany I looked up and saw a sphere or orb, just like the Betz sphere flying from south to North approximately 200 feet in the air. It made no sound and looked golden in the rays of the sun. About a month later, I saw the same thing again. A golden orb traversing the afternoon sky, just above the tree level.
I just wanted to update everyone. My AUNT is Gerri Betz and she took a turn for the worse last night and we moved her into hospice this afternoon. The family is paying its last respects so I dont imagine we will have her with us much longer. Just thought I would let eveyrone know. She is done with the flack and all she got for simply reporting it and trying to get answers. She has plenty of money so that wasnt the purpose. It simply is what it is and nobody knows what that is. My aunt Gerri says she knows where the sphere is to this day but she hasnt let us know more than that. I am sure others in the family know though.
First heard about Betz Sphere on Ancient Aliens then did a little reading up on it. Fascinating stuff. The sphere reminds me of the older movie Flight of the Navigator
This is the most amazing channel I’ve ever come across on YT. Over the last few days I’ve watched every episode and now anxiously await new ones! Keep up the amazing work!
I can't begin to tell you how much I love your channel, AJ. You and Hecklefish are a great team. I love your posts! I've seen a RUclips video and read 2 articles pertaining to an alleged 2+ billion year old nuclear reactor being found in South Africa within the last couple of years. In all probability we may never find out why the Betz Spere was found near Jax, Fla., where it's from and what it's purpose is. Thank you for all the effort you and Hecklefish put into making these videos informative and for making us laugh. ❤️
At two billion years old, isn't it just a natural formation? That a deposit of uranium rich enough started to be compressed by the Earth until the point it started nuclear fission, and the results of that time period are what we recognize? Of course I might be thinking of some other location within Africa
@@ChronoSquare Bro, your attempt at a skeptical explanation sounds more far-fetched than just saying it's an alien drone that fell off a ship. Sometimes that skepticism seems like a "credible conspiracy" because of how far-fetched and elaborate it is XD I have seen other cases of UFOS and aliens with gray spheres, I saw photos and videos similar to these, people saw them fly, they are like drones, but I think this one broke down and that's it.
This channel has quickly become my favourite out of all my subscriptions. Conspiracy/mysteries are always fun, and it's rare to find someone to present it like this. Either it's a flat-earth, queen-is-a-lizard, batshit insane style presenter that believes and pushes every conspiracy and every detail as fact, or it's an ignorant and smug skeptic that portrays these topics as dangerous disinformation, and will bend over backwards to rationalize every detail with mainstream opinions and explanations. This channel genuinely presents interesting topics, and is honest enough call out false claims but rational enough to realize when modern explanations don't add up, and call out foolishness. That type of open-minded rational thought is extremely rare. He never tells you what to think, and presents in a professional, comedic, and informative fashion. AND the upload rate is regular, AND the videos keep getting better and better. This channel is one of the best ever, not just on RUclips, but all media.
I don't have favorite shows, a favorite band or type of music, I don't get into fads & I don't even have a favorite car or movie. In fact, the only things that truly interest me are the Universe, the 1880s & the Roman Empire. I'm different BUT this Channel is one of only two I truly enjoy. This one & 'Kings & Generals.'
Bob Lazar said in his Area 51 ship descriptions that each of the ships that he was instructed to reverse engineer had a pillar in the center with a spherical top that tested for elements 140+. Is that the core used for control, amplified by a ship? Pilotable through frequencies, sound or brainwave?
Fantastic Episode as ever, AJ (and HF). You've both set the bar to what I come to expect from others which, I admit, has spoiled some other channels for me now hahaha. Keep up the fantastic stories, production value, and content!!
I recently just was introduced to The Why Files by youtube and Im very very surprised that it wasnt recommended sooner because the content of 'TWF' is exactly what Im most intrested in & constantly watch & search for!! Im so thankful that I was finally introduced to A.J. and Heck & I love how you dont really try to push your audience into believing something one way of the other & you dont push your personal opinions on us!! I really appreciate all the work you do & content you post! Thank you so much & please keep up the great work! ❤ Oh..P.S....is Hecklefish real? He is just so adorable 🥰❤
Great job. Nobody has been even close to as informative and thorough as you on this. So much new info from you on this one. Thanks for all the great work
Every Why Files video has people in the comments with the same story 😂 “Back in 1990 in the middle of buttfok nowhere” oh shut up , its not about you 😬
Interesting, Bob Lazar mentioned a sphere that they couldn't cut (on the Joe Rogan interview I believe). He said along the lines that it seems to be what powers the craft
me and a friend was on a construction site...coming out of the toilet i looked up to the building where we were going to when i spotted a orb in the sky and stationary..i told my mate n we were just fascinated by it...we got up to the top of the building n orb was stil there... it was all silver smooth and about the size of a exercise ball..maybe 200 to 300 meters away.. we couldn't keep staring at it cause its working hour.. but we always check up on it... there were other contractors up with us too... the orb was in the same spot for hours...and then it slowly moved across the sky like it was following an arc trajectory..by the afternoon maybe 2pm orb was near to the horizon... and the another orb appeared where the first orb was... on top of us.. we did not see it appear but it just was there... we were 😮... n we searched the sky for a maybe 3rd orb..but nothing... beautiful sunny day sun was low n theres these 2 orbs in the sky...they moved very slow following that trajectory... same distances apart... i never heard of it appearing on the news... i feel like we were the only few who saw it...
I've seen these, BUT they were flying. So...he's the story. While walking in the late evening I noticed two metal spheres appeared out of nowhere and were flying north about 15 feet above the ground. One was large like the size of and old round propane tank. The other was a lot smaller. They both reflected the evening sunlight as they flew by. But the interesting part was that the smaller one wasn't flying as well as the larger one. In fact, it slowed down so that the little one can catch up. After about 100 yards, they both disappeared. And I haven't seen them since. :(
It's a bit of an old story, but I was able to dig up new information not in the last batch of podcasts/articles about the sphere. LOOK, I am skeptical and I think it's PROBABLY man-made. BUT, the sphere was examined by a LOT of people -- including US military scientists. I have an open mind about this one.
AJ, you are my favorite RUclipsr. I enjoy learning new things from you and "Heckle Fish". I truly believe that your channel is going to be a massive success. I also believe that you would be an amazing host on your own tv show.
I'm so glad you're doing this story bc if anyone can get out all the itzty, bitzy details about a mystery, it's you! That's why I'm excited about this one. I'm on the fence about it, but after tomorrow, I may not be. ☺️
First time hearing of this AJ and I wallow in this stuff!
Is it alien poop?
Excellent channel. You've got me interested in subjects that I have never found enticing before. Keep up the excellent work.
P.S. Hated the fish at first, but the damnable thing has grown on me. I see why you chose to have a talking goldfish. He's already outlived ninety nine percent of goldfish. Who knew tequila and blackjack was the secret to goldfish longevity. You should do an episode on that.
Honestly the most unbelievable aspect of this story is the fact that the Government gave it back initially.
Yes, it automatically raised a few flags for me. 🤣
I said the exact same thing, lol
Only to take it again
Ya but did they really give it back or a replica
LOL RIGHT! Thats what i said! And the Navy gave it back?!
I imagine aliens discovering us and thinking "they are so underdeveloped, let's send them a child's toy to encourage their scientific curiosity."
Right 😂
Pretty messed up thinking 👽👾👾👽 s
Legit! Their Toys probably consist of magnetism and connections to consciousness while ours are built from matter
Who can really know what these beings perceive compared to ourselves 🤔

@@TOILETPOOL hahhaha that's funny. Good point
Can’t help but think of Bob Lazar when this sphere is talked about. When Bob was reverse engineering the propulsion system in the UFO he was working on, he talks about how it was “powered” by a sphere that was roughly the size of a basketball that had anti-gravity properties. Maybe the two are similar! Maybe not! But very cool to connect other UFO stories and conspiracy theories with one another. I wonder if Bob would recognize this sphere 👀
Also Bob Lazar mentioned on the Joe Rogan podcast. Scientists tried opening a sphere type reactor with a plasma cutter. Which resulted in some form of nuclear blast.
@rock influencer
Huh?
First thing I thought of to! this is exactly what he was talking about plus if you put a load to it. it activates a force field around it and then you can't touch it haha pretty cool technology from the zeta race
Exactly what I was thinking about. He describes it and my guess is that this is it!!
No,Bob Lazar said the reactor had a half sphere cover over it, that's all,in fact he showed a model he made of it all.
I grew up in Jacksonville and my family was friends with the Betz family. This was a legit object with unexplainable properties. I know it's hard to know what to believe sometimes, but this story is real.
No it’s not. My brother was friends with the son. This was known as a hoax for 30 years. Now it’s making the rounds again . Social media $$ will bring anything back from the dead

I've just recently discovered the Why Files, and I have to admit that I'm hooked. AJ's delivery, coupled with hecklefish's interjections, make for an eminently listenable experience. Well done!

Me too hen im so glad I found this im not as old as you think lol
He’s got a pod cast on Spotify that’s also good
Me too except, he isn't always accurate with his facts 😬 so don't take all of what he says as gospel
FAKE NEWS CHANNEL
the talking goldfish is annoying and really not a necessary part of the delivery. He (the actual human narrator) does quite a good job on his own without props. But it is what it is,
My grandfather joined the military in WW2, worked his way up supposedly, and was black ops in korea doing terrorist attacks against korean targets. He tested a lot of stuff for the military too, such as jet packs for instance. I never believed him until I saw a story on jet packs a few years back that gave the same reason they weren't widely used as my grandfather did to me as a kid (too much fuel expenditure, too short of a distance). So now I wonder if his idea that the military creates UFOs is true too. He said they'd fly above the base and could remotely shut off any electronics. That they ran on magnetism and refueled through magnetic fields and could even siphon power from the planet itself. The magnetic properties of this sphere remind me of what he described as its fuel/energy source.
I believe that 100%.
Look into Bob Lazar and what he says about reverse engineering ufos. Sounds like how he describes the power of the craft
So ur grandfather was a terrorist, r u proud?
Truest story since hot babes in Antarctica
@@SMGJohn but there are people in the arctic
Yeah the fact the government just didn’t outright take it and disappear the family/frame them for something terrible is by far the most shocking detail of this story.
Just like Phil Schneider. He worked on underground bases for the gov. He was found dead with something wrapped around his neck and all his lecture material disappeared.
Hear hear!
How does this channel have less than 1 million subs, hidden gem for sure!
I think youtube algorithm has tagged this as conspiracy nutter content because of the subjects discussed. Despite that AJ does a good job of being objective and often debunking the wilder claims, the AI just sees crazy town and doesn't recommend the channel.
Actually his growth has gone exponential in past couple months. About 2K added per day. Still not representative of the quality.

It made me really upset and frustrated to find out they got screwed over and someone switched out the sphere. They seemed like nice people who genuinely just wanted answered and it was their property. Humans can be so ugly sometimes I wish they got to figure out what it really was.
Atleast now I know not to every tell anyone if I ever come across anything like this. Ever.
Well, you can tell... Just make sure you remember to say you lost it afterward 😎

@@ogmudbone8263 put the meth pipe down.
I don't think this was mentioned, but the fact that the family was investigating a brush fire on their property when they discovered it could mean that it came in from outside our planet and was superheated on re-entry and started a fire. I wonder if they found it in a crater also?

What’s with the deleted comments here
That's so Weird that your show is about this silver ball. People have photos & video of them flying around, and it was a question put to the Galactic Federation, on their "Galactic Messages". The Taygetans, who are from Pleiades system, said they are "Drones". They said some are remotely piloted from their home planet but some are programmed from ships. They "monitor" the planet, and different ones do different things like take samples. They didn't get too specific. I sometimes get the feeling they're not telling us everything. Gee, I wonder why. 👍 Great show. I dig Hecklefish. 👏
Every week, when a new video lands, you’ve gone up by another 100,000 subscribers. I said about a month ago that you’d hit 1 million within 2 months. I stand by that. Well done, mate! Very well deserved!
True
Mostly bot accounts. There's many videos about how over half the viewers of youtube are bots. Bots literally have taken over the internet, most the articles you read unless politically motivated are written by bots.
I thought a while back what a crime it was that this dude hadn't blown up anymore than he had. He was at about 250k then, and I've not looked again, since seeing your comment. Holy crap! that's a half million subs in probably less than a year! Way to go AJ! He's definitly on the tragectory I think he deserves now. 100k a week.... crazy talk. I agree with your prediction.
3.86 million in July of 2024, it's crazy how far this channel has come, I bet it will hit 4 million subs in 2025.
My dad saw silver orbs.. following the ships in WW2 & floating around while he was working.. I hope I can see one eventually.
Could these have something to do with Foo Fighters? My Father was in the Royal Navy WW2 Burma He operated the big guns. No longer with us.
Maybe it’s an alien roomba
As a fellow fan of Art Bell, I wonder if you are familiar with one of his guests he had on back in 1995, who he called Mad Man Marcum? I would love to see you do an episode on this story and hopefully find out what has become of him and his experiments. I am also a huge fan of skinwalker ranch as well, and though it has become quite popular recently, there is still a lot to cover on the area and would make for a great episode.
Love the show, keep up the good work.
Oh yeah mad man Markham! I was thinking about him about 2 weeks ago I don't know if it was a video that AJ had one it probably was but yeah I heard him when he was on art show and Coast to Coast and then about 10 years when art came back on with midnight in the desert can you round it up a madman again did you happen to hear that interview if not I think you can find it on RUclips under midnight in the desert and you know art Bell mad man Malcolm but yeah he dug them back up and it wasn't as funny as the first couple times he was on Coast to Coast but it was still pretty good hey I don't know you have to listen to it but yeah I was just reading a couple comments and I found it funny that you put it there and I was thinking about it no more than about 2 weeks ago anyway have a good weekend I use the microphone and didn't proofread it but you'll get the gist of the comment
I really miss Art Bell. It’s just too bad he died as MANY of his guests “stories” were gaining traction of truth. No, not all of them, but enough of them to seriously raise eyebrows of skeptics. R.I.P Art

Congrats on finding a perfect combination of world class storytelling, stellar editing, suspense and comedy. Hecklefish is perhaps my favourite character of all time.

I really dig your videos man. I think I've watched them all in the last two weeks. Not to trigger any of Hecklefish's hat needs, but the seamless construction reminds me of the way Bob Lazar (pardon the spelling if I botched that) talked about the devices he allegedly worked on at S4, also being without any commonly noticeable seems or welds or evidence of manufacturing. They mentioned that at the time we knew nothing really of 3d printing type methods of manufacture and that today we might view it from a different perspective. Also seems like if you wanted to make something like this, you'd have to have a large magneton collider of some kind and that raises other questions about capability and application. I wonder if you could use a molten vat of the steel alloy and maybe other elements to collect the element during repeated bombardment, letting it create its own cavity as the non-magnetic steel cools and regains its ability to become magnetized sort of forcing the cavity away from the core elements. then it would just be a matter of aligning fluctuating electromagnetic fields under varied power levels to make it move. There's a group of scientists working on a type of propulsion using mechanical displacement with a net force to one direction, which probably doesn't work (negligibly if at all even in their so far unrepeatable experiments), but if this does what the family claimed it did, it could be used with a device to direct the field and power level of the field in such a way that it would act against other magnetic fields and give you directional thrust. very neat.
I wish I knew what this meant 😂

I can't tell you how much I love the way you tell a story. I knew all about this story, and you still made it very interesting. As always, you also leave room for us, your loyal viewers, to use our brains and make up our own minds. This is such a great channel, I'm sure it won't be much longer until you hit a million subscribers.
The most amazing thing about this story (to me, anyway) is that I'd never heard it before, even though I'm a life-long fan of UFO and paranormal stories AND I'm from Florida.....so thanks.
Right, thats where I was too and I live in Jacksonville most my life lol.
Same. Cant believe this story isnt talked about more.
Thought I'd add my weird story to the mix. My grandfather was in the 101st in Europe during WW2. While things were starting to wrap up, him and a bunch of guys spent a couple nights in a castle. Everyone was looking for the "spoils of war" and he happened across an old sword and sheath. There was writing on both pieces, but it wasn't anything he'd seen before. There weren't any jewels on the sheath or sword and it wasn't gold, but he liked the carvings in the metal, so he sent it home where it was waiting for him in Palo Alto a few months later when he got back home. A coworker was looking at the sword on day after work and noticed how easily you could bend it, something grandpa never tried. At the time he was a welder working at Stanford, so thought maybe someone there could tell him about his sword. He tried different deptments for a could of weeks before finding someone that could tell him about his looted find. Grandpa asked how old it was. the guy said it wasn't the age that makes it special, but where it was from. The guy said it was from Mu.
Grandpa didn't know where that was or had ever heard of it. I assume the guy went into more detail, but Grandpa didn't elaborate, only to say the sword was now in storage up at their house at Lake Shasta. I always bugged him to see the sword and finally when I was about 17 and up at their lake house, he took me under the deck where a bunch of barrels where. One by on he opened each barrel and dumped the contents out, becoming more frustrated with each one. Finally saying one of the barrels was missing!
20 years later, that story came back to me. Grandpa wasn't one to tell tall tales or exaggerate, so when a search of the net told me that Mu was the Atlantis of the Pacific, I thought someone at Stanford was messing with him. First, Atlantis isn't (or wasn't) a real place, so it's doubtful Mu is. But I always wondered where that sword was really from, who took it, and where it is now. Not as cool as an alien beach ball but it was a fun story when I was a kid.
They found the lost sunken city of Mu off the coast of Japan. So now you know that sword was worth millions $
Wooow was cool. Always wonder what happens I mean legally if I found an antic worth millions

Hecklefish saw it!
here is rub as soon as i heard after govt testign they said element 143 was inside , i know this was a trick/govt trap
There can be no more than 137 elements. This limitation of the number of elements follows from the fact that there is a maximum speed in the Universe. That is, from the limit of the speed of light in a vacuum.
so the govt KNOWING THIS even back in 70s perpetuated the start of a lie
this is a trick to get foriegners whom they watched all come to see it
as the video starts saying
clever way to get spooks on other side expose themselves
I wish I had a little sphere buddy. It made me a bit sad when they tried to roll it off the table and it rolled the other way trying to save its self. Maybe it is afraid of being dropped and that is why it rolled up the table. If it was me I would put the sphere on a cushion so it could watch TV with me then I would take it on adventures around Brighton with me as normally I'm always on my own. 🙂 Maybe I will find one of my own one day 🙂

Hi Hecklefish. 😎

...also in Japan some Japanese kids found a similar sphere too, I read about decades ago. I remember reading about that they visited it at some field, revisited again and again. Eventually it didn't appear anymore, I read that it was doing weird stuff with the kids, it was friendly toward them. I forgot to mention, it hovered above ground.
Pedosphere…
@@rickypratt5328 ...no it wasn't that, it was reported by the kids that it spoke to them, intelligent entity.
I believe someone found an ashtray that looked near identical to the one the kids found.
Sounds like a space probe.
Space litter
The sphere that's described is similar to the one that Bob Lazar had described when he was at Area 51 studying the propulsion system on one of the alien craft.
Yep thats the first thing that came to mind when I watched this. But the super heavy element Lazar describes affects gravity so it would surely weigh much more than 22 or 23 pounds.
What if this is just one of multiple spheres needed as the fuel source for alien ship propulsion
@@gkash2236 it's possible. Lazar described only one spare but he only worked on one craft
I was on a plane a few years ago coming back from holiday, I was looking out the window and saw exactly the same sphere as this, it passed under the plane, I stopped telling people about it because nobody believed me.
S-4.
I live in SW Florida. About three years ago, I was at a barn liquidation sale near the glades. It was an elder gentlemen who was wanting to clear all the clutter on the property. Farm equipment, tools, tractor out back. In the barn were tables set up with anything and everything on them. I saw this antique dark brown leather bag with actually real wooden handles on it. I went to pick it up and it was heavy. I was like, shoot. This still has the ball in it. Thought it would be cool to see what an old bowling ball would look like and feel. I took it out and it was not a glossy looking ball with a shiny finish. It was a smoky black color. The guy came towards me because I was turning the ball all which ways and I could not find the holes for my fingers. I was like wow, this old ball can still be customized and drilled for my grip... He said the ball was special. That I did not need to ever drill holes in it. That the ball moves by itself. He was leaning all over me and made me feel strange. Very awkward moment. But then my daughter and wife saved me and called for me to come over to them. So I handed the ball back to the guy. Usually bowling balls, even not drilled still have the weight and information on them. This didn't. And I have held 15lb balls before, this was definately heavier. It did not feel like a normal ball either, it had like a ting feeling to it. When I was walking away, I looked back and it looked like the guy was talking or even whispering something to that ball. I know the Florida heat gets to people, but that was just a very crazy experience. Coming across this video, it just gets me thinking...
I was on a plane coming back from Spain when I saw one of these spheres flying around under the plane, nobody believes me. Before I could film it on my phone it disappeared.

@@purefoldnz3070 - really? I had no idea. I’ve never heard of this story before and I used to be a regular Coast to Coast listener (until the same callers became unbearable). I also listen to Fade to Black. I guess if it was debunked, that’s why I’ve never heard of it.
@@ds_the_rn exactly. I hadn't heard of it either until now.
And here I am thinking it was very famous. In fact I was searching for an episode about Betz sphere on this channel and accidentally saw this video.
Now I don't remember but some of the crucial facts are missing from this version of the story.
I wish you had a new story every day! I didn't like Hecklefish in the beginning, but now I just love him! This is such a fun and interesting channel. Hope you cover flat earth theory someday.
Wow, now this is one I had never heard of despite being alive during this time. Quality episode as always!
If you think the answer to the fermi paradox is the dark forest, then this thing is terrifying, I am glad that they suspected it had an element 140 in its internal structure stabilised by magnetic confinement, before anyone decided to crack it open. This sounds like a civilization killer, if you are advanced enough to drill into it, then you are a threat and your world needs to be eliminated.
The scary part is where is it now? It's a literal time bomb.
Take the meds and calm down LOL
Fermi Paradox and Dark Forest theory is both garbage
Good point.
This is remarkably like the ones Dennis Hopper, (Easy Rider actor), found on his property, one of which he gave to a friend who reported that it occasionally moved of it's own volition without any reason and no outside influence and displayed other strange properties.
Exactly, that one is the sphere being analysed by Prof. Garry Nolan. It's just like this one.I wonder if the Ross Coulthard knows about the Betz sphere..?
Two of the same changes the whole narrative.
And even if the Betz sphere can't be found, there are videos, X-rays and witnesses that can prove what it was.
@@exoexpansion Yeah, I saw that show too, the ball was owned by some ex rock musician record producer or something, who lives out in the desert. Interesting, at the Betz Ball period of the 70s, they also mentioned about other balls found in Australia after UFO sightings previously (1960s early 70s?)!.....perhaps Ross should be looking a little closer to home first?.
Hey Brother-,ive read and listened to all kinds of stuff on the Betz sphere. But never heard about this story. People Re referncing a documentary or something...where did you hear about this with Hopper?

I can see the military’s point of view. When I was a kid in the 60’s someone had found an iron ball that had a big key in the side, as if to wind it. We traded each other different cool stuff for ownership of the “ball-bearing “.
I don’t know what ever became of it but I found out years later that it was a civil war cannon grenade. In other words unexploded ordinance.
😱
That could have ended badly ay. But what a cool thing to have found and had as a kid . Awesome 👊👍
Holy crap!
Luckily it had the big key in the plug. The shells were filled with powder, and sealed with a bronze plug as a safety. When used the gun commander would call for "6 second fuse" or "4 second fuse" and the gunner would cut a guncotton burnable fuse to the seconds of burn length, remove the bronze plug, insert the cotton plug....then the shell would be loaded.
Firing the cannon would light the fuse and it would burn in flight.
1860s Shells with still burnable fuses and powder have been found.
@@STho205
That's a fun fact! Thanks!
interesting. however the fact that it has four poles and displays motion. and that the magnetic field increases with heat, seems to point to a much more powerful and capable device.
my first thoughts are that the four poles control direction in all planes. so perhaps indeed a part of a antigravity engine. if not actually part of the one of four core components.
in some of the earlier UFO pictures we see rounded housings underneath UFO's. Maybe these contained these balls for directional control.
As always....Just a thought

I hope you continue providing balance in the narratives that your stories portray AJ. I began to like your channel when getting absorbed by crazy tales that you do a good job in your story telling. I began to love your channel when I realized you followed up your storytelling by attempting to describe the facts of the story in as objective manner you can after the story telling.

MY BEST BET IT IS A Steering device
This will sound a bit cliche, but I have several friends and family members in various branches of the military and government. For example, my aunt works in the Pentagon doing forensic accounting which is used to track terrorist organizations. Another is my uncle, who was trained in the Navy as a nuclear engineer.
There are reports of spheres, like these, within the universe. These spheres basically freely float between and within the solar system, and are considered both alive and inanimate at the same time.
The general consensus is that these spheres are "sponges" and almost "living machines". What they do is they, somehow, absorb radiation.
They emit no emissions, aside from sound and thermo. But these seem more aligned with some type of "language", and not a byproduct of their consumption.
They appear to have some internalized means of locomotion, believed to be derived by producing and fluctuating magnetic fields. By being able to produce, alter and respond to magnetic fields, they are able to push, pull, turn, accelerate, decelerate, float, pitch and spin. So the spheres themselves aren't moving, they are altering magnetic fields, and those fields move them. Like placing two magnets near each other.
As for being sponges of radiation, this is where it gets weird. Apparently these spheres absorb radiation, somehow consuming it. Nobody is sure how or why this happens, and nobody knows what it uses this radiation for. What's interesting is radiation is literally just areas of the electromagnetic spectrum, meaning despite how dangerous and destructive it is, radiation is weightless. Therefore, because it has no mass, it is possible for there to be no upper limit on how much radiation any one given sphere can consume.
However, absorbing electrons may give it weight over time. Consider how a neutron star can weigh tens of millions of tons, just in the volume of a sugar cube. The sphere, weighing 21 pounds, may not entirely be metallic weight but instead countless eons of electron retention.
What's even more strange is that these spheres may be a natural product within the cosmos. It is possible that under specific conditions, dying stars produce them.
Whatever the case may be, the sphere physically is just a ball of metal. However, it somehow knows how to respond to radiation, knows how to manipulate magnetic fields to move, uses this movement to seek out areas of high radiation, absorbs that radiation and then leaves.
Making these spheres... Sentient. And therefore, potential, alive.
I'm honestly curious how you know all this?

He said the woman has a website where she sells her art.
If someone ever talk or told this story by the member of this family please do share your story please, this is really interesting
@@kharis9120 I think there was too much greed and possessiveness surrounding the ball for anyone to discover its purpose. I was the one who was supposed to find it. Who knows what may have happened if I did? I was searching on the other side of the river when the Betz family found it. Perhaps I should have come forward at the time.
There's a theory in chemistry that at a certain point heavier elements will start to get more stable, and might even become non-radioactive. The largest element right now is oganesson, which has a half-life of 0.0007 seconds, so extremely unstable. Maybe 140 is in that stable range.
If anyone is looking for a longer more detailed explanation of this whole event I recommend the Betz Sphere episodes of the Astonishing Legends podcast which interview one of the members of the family who was there at the time. It was the first time I'd heard of this story and I was absolutely hooked from the beginning. Such an interesting story that interests me till this day.

There’s another one I remember seeing when I was a kid which was old when I saw it, but it’s from 1976 called Glitterball. That’s about an alien rolling ball.
BOOOOY!!!
My friend and I that watched Phantasm when it first came out frequently bring up the flying silver balls and have related them to modern phenomenon as well.
Over here in England not heard of this one so it's always good to learn something new, and this is a really weird one. It would be interesting to see a Why Files on Foo Fighters, the first USAAF report I could find was from 1945 and referred to the phenomenon as "Foo Fire", later reports refer to it as "Foo Fighters", and while these referred mainly to the Pacific war a wartime British newspaper reported similar in Europe even pondering whether they were a new German secret weapon. I've got quite a list of sightings ad accounts but I'd be interested in what the Why Files - and Hecklefish - would make of it?
Check out Jacques Vallee’s work on UFO’s he’s mentioned the Foo Fighters and has an interesting perspective on the subject.
Also check out the Vril society and the Nazi bell project. The Nazi's were working on antigravity aircraft.
French pilots were seeing a lot of fireballs flying around. As the word for fire in french is "feu", pronounced very closely to "foo". There might be a connection here
Never knew about the fighters who saw Foo or French Feu Fire in skies.
Not surprising when you hear or read some of the Indians or Sumerians early texts about wars in the skies over their heads. Even a picture of George Washington at the Whitehouse seems to have an unidentified flying object in the background.
St Elmo's fire, will o' wisps and ball lightning would also need to be covered in that episode.
A ball valve wouldn't stump scientists and the government.

The term "foo" isn't just a funny name, it comes from the french word "feu" which means fire. It stems from some of the first sightings of unidentified flying objects over Europe during the second world war.
''foo'' sounds exactly as ''fou'' which means crazy in french, might be a mix of both feu and fou, folles boules de feu.. crazy balls of fire..
'foo bar' are originally military terms, I was expecting 'foo' fighters to be just that - 'anything unknown'
@@commonpike FUBAR is an acronym for "F*cked Up Beyond All Recognition." That's what I knew it as when I was in the Navy.
Wikipedia: The term "foo" was borrowed from [the comic] Smokey Stover by a radar operator in the 415th Night Fighter Squadron, Donald J. Meiers, who, according to most 415th members, gave the foo fighters their name. The comics author, according to himself, read it at the bottom of a Chinese cup.

Four years ago whilst walking in a field in Bavaria, Germany I looked up and saw a sphere or orb, just like the Betz sphere flying from south to North approximately 200 feet in the air.

I just wanted to update everyone. My AUNT is Gerri Betz and she took a turn for the worse last night and we moved her into hospice this afternoon. The family is paying its last respects so I dont imagine we will have her with us much longer. Just thought I would let eveyrone know. She is done with the flack and all she got for simply reporting it and trying to get answers. She has plenty of money so that wasnt the purpose. It simply is what it is and nobody knows what that is. My aunt Gerri says she knows where the sphere is to this day but she hasnt let us know more than that. I am sure others in the family know though.
Whaaaat. I hope auntie is doing okay? But that's crazy... she knows where it is but won't mention a thing?
I hope its safe
You should find the sphere and send it to Nate. That would be so neat.
Hope all is well, shes made the right choice keeping it a secret. Hopefully wherever it is, it is being pet and fed lots of sunshine
I hope she's fine. I hope one days she'll reveal where it is.
First heard about Betz Sphere on Ancient Aliens then did a little reading up on it. Fascinating stuff. The sphere reminds me of the older movie Flight of the Navigator
Oh yeah I used to watch that film a lot as a kid. Ah good times.
So again. So many people saw that ball moving and balancing on the tables and there are no videos of that? May I ask why?!

I have seen other cases of UFOS and aliens with gray spheres, I saw photos and videos similar to these, people saw them fly, they are like drones, but I think this one broke down and that's it.
This channel has quickly become my favourite out of all my subscriptions. Conspiracy/mysteries are always fun, and it's rare to find someone to present it like this. Either it's a flat-earth, queen-is-a-lizard, batshit insane style presenter that believes and pushes every conspiracy and every detail as fact, or it's an ignorant and smug skeptic that portrays these topics as dangerous disinformation, and will bend over backwards to rationalize every detail with mainstream opinions and explanations. This channel genuinely presents interesting topics, and is honest enough call out false claims but rational enough to realize when modern explanations don't add up, and call out foolishness. That type of open-minded rational thought is extremely rare.
He never tells you what to think, and presents in a professional, comedic, and informative fashion. AND the upload rate is regular, AND the videos keep getting better and better. This channel is one of the best ever, not just on RUclips, but all media.
I absolutely agree 💜
Ok let’s not get ahead of ourselves here 😂
I don't have favorite shows, a favorite band or type of music, I don't get into fads & I don't even have a favorite car or movie. In fact, the only things that truly interest me are the Universe, the 1880s & the Roman Empire. I'm different BUT this Channel is one of only two I truly enjoy. This one & 'Kings & Generals.'
the Betz Sphere looks like the “Mosul Orb “ and the Orb in the last declassified pentagon video
Bob Lazar said in his Area 51 ship descriptions that each of the ships that he was instructed to reverse engineer had a pillar in the center with a spherical top that tested for elements 140+. Is that the core used for control, amplified by a ship? Pilotable through frequencies, sound or brainwave?
Fantastic Episode as ever, AJ (and HF). You've both set the bar to what I come to expect from others which, I admit, has spoiled some other channels for me now hahaha. Keep up the fantastic stories, production value, and content!!
true buddy, drop your other fav channels i'd love to check em out. Project unity, Disclosure Team seem to be the only ones i watch as of now.
I recently just was introduced to The Why Files by youtube and Im very very surprised that it wasnt recommended sooner because the content of 'TWF' is exactly what Im most intrested in & constantly watch & search for!!
Im so thankful that I was finally introduced to A.J. and Heck & I love how you dont really try to push your audience into believing something one way of the other & you dont push your personal opinions on us!!
I really appreciate all the work you do & content you post!
Thank you so much & please keep up the great work! ❤
Oh..P.S....is Hecklefish real? He is just so adorable 🥰❤
I never heard of this sphere before. That’s why I’m always happy when a new video is released.
Great job. Nobody has been even close to as informative and thorough as you on this. So much new info from you on this one. Thanks for all the great work
Every Why Files video has people in the comments with the same story 😂
“Back in 1990 in the middle of buttfok nowhere” oh shut up , its not about you 😬
Interesting, Bob Lazar mentioned a sphere that they couldn't cut (on the Joe Rogan interview I believe). He said along the lines that it seems to be what powers the craft
I know, this was UFO tech that was left on earth
Love the channel! Would be cool if you could get some of these people that relate to these stories in a podcast.
Way better than what Ancient Aliens showed about this!!! Love that you are so thorough! You always present the facts without being bias!
me and a friend was on a construction site...coming out of the toilet i looked up to the building where we were going to when i spotted a orb in the sky and stationary..i told my mate n we were just fascinated by it...we got up to the top of the building n orb was stil there... it was all silver smooth and about the size of a exercise ball..maybe 200 to 300 meters away.. we couldn't keep staring at it cause its working hour.. but we always check up on it... there were other contractors up with us too... the orb was in the same spot for hours...and then it slowly moved across the sky like it was following an arc trajectory..by the afternoon maybe 2pm orb was near to the horizon... and the another orb appeared where the first orb was... on top of us.. we did not see it appear but it just was there... we were 😮... n we searched the sky for a maybe 3rd orb..but nothing... beautiful sunny day sun was low n theres these 2 orbs in the sky...they moved very slow following that trajectory... same distances apart... i never heard of it appearing on the news... i feel like we were the only few who saw it...
I've seen these, BUT they were flying. So...he's the story. While walking in the late evening I noticed two metal spheres appeared out of nowhere and were flying north about 15 feet above the ground. One was large like the size of and old round propane tank. The other was a lot smaller. They both reflected the evening sunlight as they flew by. But the interesting part was that the smaller one wasn't flying as well as the larger one. In fact, it slowed down so that the little one can catch up. After about 100 yards, they both disappeared. And I haven't seen them since. :(
No more meth for you
@@earlyorlater Funny. But I've never done illegal drugs of any kind.
@@gilgarza2903 i didn't think so it was a joke glade you got. 👍
