Hello and welcome to the podcast
UFO warning.com.

00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,600
If you haven't been by the site,
stop by and check it out UFO 

3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:18,440
warning.com This episode is 
about something called the Bets 

4
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,800
Sphere. 
The Bets sphere is a round metal

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,600
sphere. 
It's about the size of a bowling

6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,360
ball, weighs about £9 I believe 
they said, and it has a highly 

7
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:34,240
polished finish. 
Now the story starts with this 

8
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,720
thing back in 1974, the Bets 
family, I believe The dad was a 

9
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,400
medical student and the mom, I 
don't know what she did. 

10
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,240
I mean, I'm not really sure how 
this family ended up there, but 

11
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,320
they ended up on this on this 
old plantation in northeastern 

12
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,870
Florida. 
I guess it was on the island and

13
00:00:51,870 --> 00:00:56,110
it had been a property there 
since the Spanish had come in 

14
00:00:56,550 --> 00:01:00,190
and forced the Native Americans 
off the land back in the 1500s. 

15
00:01:00,310 --> 00:01:04,069
Anyway, it become a a 
plantation, a slave plantation 

16
00:01:04,069 --> 00:01:08,230
I'm sure. 
And back in 1918 there'd been a 

17
00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:10,670
big house built there. 
More on that later. 

18
00:01:11,310 --> 00:01:15,590
Anyway, there must have been 
about 550 or 600 acres in this 

19
00:01:15,590 --> 00:01:20,000
plantation I believe and and 
this old old plantation, anyway,

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,400
there had been a pretty big fire
like a forest fire. 

21
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,480
So after everything cooled down,
the mom and dad and the young 

22
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:32,440
boy went out to survey the 
damage and they go through the 

23
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,920
forest area but they burnt down 
and the boy finds this sphere 

24
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,520
there in the ashes. 
And there's a picture of it I 

25
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,960
have. 
I have several links on the 

26
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:47,800
website ufowarning.com and it 
looks like I said about the size

27
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,480
of a bowling ball. 
They said when you picked the 

28
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,920
thing up over your head, by the 
way, which this sphere didn't 

29
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,960
seem to appreciate too much. 
But when you picked this thing 

30
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,640
up, it had to feel like a 
Mexican jumping being. 

31
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,120
I think they said it was almost 
like it was hollow inside, but 

32
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,760
you could feel a movement in 
there. 

33
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,240
Couldn't hear anything rolling 
around, but you could just feel 

34
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,759
like this mass kind of going 
back and forth. 

35
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,680
So they take this sphere home 
with them, all right, and it 

36
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,240
immediately begins to exhibit 
some strange behavior. 

37
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,280
In fact, they called it that 
poltergeist behavior. 

38
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,640
Like they would set it down the 
hardwood floors, this old house,

39
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,760
this this old house that was 
called the castle, by the way. 

40
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,720
So they set down the hardwood 
floors and this ball will roll 

41
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,080
across the floor and stop and 
then start again. 

42
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,520
And then it was observed rolling
down the hallway, making right 

43
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,270
turns. 
I mean, this thing obviously had

44
00:02:42,270 --> 00:02:48,030
a mind of its own, and it kept 
doing weird things that you 

45
00:02:48,030 --> 00:02:50,710
could try to roll off the table.
It wouldn't fall off the table, 

46
00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:52,910
it'd stop. 
They said it was gravity 

47
00:02:52,910 --> 00:02:55,790
defying. 
In fact, I don't know. 

48
00:02:55,790 --> 00:02:57,030
It must have had more than one 
kid. 

49
00:02:57,030 --> 00:03:00,910
They described how one of the 
boys was playing an electric 

50
00:03:00,910 --> 00:03:07,550
guitar and the sphere responded 
by making a very strange 

51
00:03:08,230 --> 00:03:11,550
electrical sound of its own. 
And they did not describe this 

52
00:03:11,550 --> 00:03:13,630
as a pleasant sound. 
This is something that scared 

53
00:03:13,630 --> 00:03:16,310
the living heck out of them from
what I could read. 

54
00:03:16,830 --> 00:03:21,830
At any rate, they're perplexed. 
They call a reporter out. 

55
00:03:22,230 --> 00:03:24,950
He comes out and there's a 
picture of mom, dad and the kid 

56
00:03:24,950 --> 00:03:28,270
there with this ball. 
And reporter says I have no 

57
00:03:28,270 --> 00:03:30,830
idea, I can't explain it. 
He's watching this ball, you 

58
00:03:30,830 --> 00:03:33,830
know, start rolling, stop 
rolling under some. 

59
00:03:34,310 --> 00:03:38,920
They describe how how it doesn't
seem to like certain people. 

60
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,880
When certain people go to pick 
it up, it rolls away from them. 

61
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,360
You know, this is way past the 
pet rock. 

62
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:52,280
So anyway, they don't want to 
give the fear to anybody to take

63
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,360
it, to have it examined in the 
lab, anywhere for whatever 

64
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,680
reason. 
I guess they're afraid that they

65
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,750
won't bring it back. 
So they start calling people in 

66
00:04:00,750 --> 00:04:04,470
and I think they said JL and 
Heinik may have examined it, but

67
00:04:04,670 --> 00:04:07,350
a bunch of people looked at this
thing and no one can figure out 

68
00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:09,550
what it was. 
They all just kept saying it was

69
00:04:09,590 --> 00:04:11,710
unknown. 
Now you had the debunkers, of 

70
00:04:11,710 --> 00:04:15,390
course that said, well, this 
must have fell off of a 

71
00:04:16,149 --> 00:04:20,190
satellite. 
And they went so far as to say, 

72
00:04:20,190 --> 00:04:22,990
I guess there was an abstract 
artist that they got his name 

73
00:04:22,990 --> 00:04:24,830
there from Spain back in the 
70s. 

74
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:30,040
And they said, well, he, he was 
doing an abstract art exhibit 

75
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,040
that involved a bunch of steel 
balls. 

76
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,040
And one of them must have fell 
off the truck. 

77
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,480
Yes, somehow this ball fell off 
the truck on the highway, which 

78
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,800
was like 25 miles away, and 
rolled all the way there onto 

79
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,280
this place in the middle of 
timber. 

80
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,360
And probably not too likely at 
any rate. 

81
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,120
Finally, I mean, they just got 
like a stream of people wanting 

82
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,240
to come see this thing. 
They're driving them crazy. 

83
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,820
Eventually, from what I found, 
they gave it to the Navy to look

84
00:04:57,820 --> 00:05:01,660
at and the first time the Navy 
tried to X-ray it, it was a no 

85
00:05:01,660 --> 00:05:03,620
go. 
This thing, whatever this metal 

86
00:05:03,620 --> 00:05:06,700
was, it was so dense the X-ray 
wasn't touching it. 

87
00:05:07,300 --> 00:05:10,180
So you know, the United States 
Navy, they've got some pretty 

88
00:05:10,180 --> 00:05:14,460
big xrays machines. 
So they eventually took and put 

89
00:05:14,460 --> 00:05:21,430
this thing in a really heavy 
duty X-ray machine and they were

90
00:05:21,430 --> 00:05:26,270
able to determine that this 
sphere had two inter spheres and

91
00:05:26,270 --> 00:05:30,230
they were made out of some super
dense material, like so dense 

92
00:05:30,630 --> 00:05:33,430
that it was heavier than 
anything known to man, heavier 

93
00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:36,470
than uranium, whatever. 
They couldn't explain it. 

94
00:05:36,830 --> 00:05:39,670
And it also seemed as though 
there was some sort of there was

95
00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:41,110
something going on in the middle
of that ball. 

96
00:05:41,110 --> 00:05:43,630
They couldn't see it, but there 
was something going on in there.

97
00:05:43,630 --> 00:05:47,550
In fact, one scientist said he 
was afraid that if you were to 

98
00:05:47,550 --> 00:05:52,140
drill a hole in that ball, there
was so much energy inside of it 

99
00:05:52,420 --> 00:05:54,900
that you could end up with 
something akin to an atomic 

100
00:05:54,900 --> 00:05:56,860
explosion, I think is how he 
described it. 

101
00:05:57,180 --> 00:06:00,260
So they didn't drill it, they 
didn't cut it, which is saying 

102
00:06:00,260 --> 00:06:02,340
something. 
Because, you know, usually when 

103
00:06:02,700 --> 00:06:04,940
when a lab gets ahold of 
something like this, the first 

104
00:06:04,940 --> 00:06:07,260
thing they want to do is put a 
hole in it or saw into it. 

105
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:11,700
But these guys must have known 
enough or since enough to know 

106
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:18,160
that that penetrating this thing
or trying to cut it open or 

107
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,720
dissect it would have been a 
really, really bad idea. 

108
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,600
Now some of the documentaries 
claim that that the Navy just 

109
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,840
kept the sphere, but I found an 
article online and I linked to 

110
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:31,520
that at the website 
ufowarning.com and this guy was 

111
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,600
a professor. 
And let's see, either he had the

112
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,600
boy that found it was in his 
class, or maybe his friend was. 

113
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,520
He had a connection to the 
family and According to him, the

114
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,720
Navy returned the sphere to the 
family. 

115
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,040
But the family was just so 
exhausted from all the curiosity

116
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,320
seekers that they just put the 
same storage and wanted to be 

117
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,920
and requested to be left alone. 
They don't want to talk about it

118
00:06:56,280 --> 00:07:00,280
and end of story, which seems a 
little strange to me. 

119
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,480
And then, you know, he went on 
to describe some behavior of the

120
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,090
ball, but it almost seemed like 
he was trying to soft sell it to

121
00:07:07,090 --> 00:07:09,770
maybe explain away some of the 
things that happened. 

122
00:07:09,770 --> 00:07:12,930
I don't know. 
It was very clear to me that he 

123
00:07:12,930 --> 00:07:14,850
was trying to protect the 
family, and that's fine. 

124
00:07:15,170 --> 00:07:19,690
It seems like the family got 
this thing and it was like a lot

125
00:07:19,690 --> 00:07:24,290
of these weird UFO things that 
people find or even the 

126
00:07:24,290 --> 00:07:27,730
implants. 
At first they're curious because

127
00:07:27,730 --> 00:07:31,850
these things are a strange 
curiosity, But the longer they 

128
00:07:31,850 --> 00:07:36,870
had the thing around, the more 
this thing really confronts your

129
00:07:36,870 --> 00:07:38,950
reality. 
I mean, it's one thing, it's 

130
00:07:38,950 --> 00:07:42,030
demonstrating all of this 
poltergeist, and that's their 

131
00:07:42,030 --> 00:07:44,630
words. 
Poltergeist type behavior, Okay.

132
00:07:45,070 --> 00:07:50,830
Secondly, it's made out of 
materials that don't seem to be 

133
00:07:50,830 --> 00:07:52,070
of this world. 
I mean it. 

134
00:07:52,230 --> 00:07:56,030
It's doing some weird stuff. 
They're talking about how you 

135
00:07:56,030 --> 00:08:00,220
pick this ball up and it's like 
it feels like picking up a like 

136
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:03,020
a Mexican jumping being. 
Well, what's a Mexican jumping 

137
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,340
being? 
It's got a little worm in there,

138
00:08:04,340 --> 00:08:05,780
man. 
It's got something on the inside

139
00:08:05,780 --> 00:08:09,380
that's making that being feel 
like not a normal being. 

140
00:08:09,700 --> 00:08:12,900
When they could pick this ball 
up and shake it over their head,

141
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:14,220
they could feel something in 
there. 

142
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:17,740
And by the way, apparently the 
ball didn't like that very much.

143
00:08:18,020 --> 00:08:20,060
They talked about how people 
would pick it up and handle it 

144
00:08:20,060 --> 00:08:21,380
when it didn't want to be 
handled. 

145
00:08:21,660 --> 00:08:24,460
And it would roll away from them
on its own volition. 

146
00:08:24,700 --> 00:08:27,860
It would roll in the hall and 
take a right or left turn into 

147
00:08:27,860 --> 00:08:31,240
another room. 
Doors would slam and like I said

148
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,600
that they played the guitar, the
electric guitar around. 

149
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,679
It must not like that too well 
because it starts making its own

150
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,600
guitar music, but not very nice 
guitar music. 

151
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,159
So you have this really strange,
strange poltergeist type 

152
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:47,240
behavior. 
And it gets to the point where I

153
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,640
think people, people, what they 
find this stuff. 

154
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,400
At first it's a curiosity at 
first it's interesting, oh wow, 

155
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,440
what's this? 
But when you look at it a little

156
00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:00,630
bit deeper, the behavior is so 
strange that it just smacks you 

157
00:09:00,630 --> 00:09:04,270
in the face and really 
challenges your own reality. 

158
00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:06,470
I mean, this thing's here. 
It's telling you. 

159
00:09:06,590 --> 00:09:10,270
It's telling you in no uncertain
terms that paranormal, 

160
00:09:10,430 --> 00:09:14,830
supernatural, whatever you want 
to call it, this unidentified 

161
00:09:14,830 --> 00:09:17,670
phenomena exists. 
And you can choose to believe it

162
00:09:17,670 --> 00:09:20,030
or not believe it. 
But when it's in your face 

163
00:09:20,030 --> 00:09:23,830
challenging you, it can be a 
little disconcerting. 

164
00:09:24,190 --> 00:09:26,270
And that's the feeling that I 
got from this. 

165
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:29,140
And I think sometimes that's why
the debunkers come out of the 

166
00:09:29,140 --> 00:09:32,340
woodwork. 
I think sometimes people, people

167
00:09:32,340 --> 00:09:37,500
are so they have such 
disconsonants, they're so 

168
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:41,940
disconnected when their reality 
is challenged by something like 

169
00:09:41,940 --> 00:09:48,020
this that they will grasp at any
excuse to try to explain this 

170
00:09:48,020 --> 00:09:50,060
thing away. 
Like I said to try to say that 

171
00:09:52,380 --> 00:09:57,680
an abstract artist had a a semi 
truck load of steel balls they 

172
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:00,600
were carrying from an exhibit 
and that one of them fell off 

173
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,760
and rolled 25 miles away into 
this into this you know forest, 

174
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,440
it's it's asinine. 
If if this thing would have 

175
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,960
fallen out of the sky from a 
satellite A9 pound round round 

176
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,440
object, I wouldn't have expected
to find it on top of the ground.

177
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,320
I would expect to find it like a
couple feet down in the ground, 

178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,440
and it's obviously not a 
meteorite. 

179
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,280
No way, no how. 
It looks like a bowling ball or 

180
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,400
a cannonball, but it's super 
shiny. 

181
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:34,200
At any rate, there was some more
disturbing back story to this. 

182
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,040
Like I said, the plant, the old 
plantation, the property that 

183
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,960
this occurred on several 100 
acres. 

184
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,840
And on that property where the 
Beth's family lived was an old 

185
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,000
house which they called the 
Castle. 

186
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,080
And this house was built in 1918
and had been vacant for like 51 

187
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,480
years. 
I think they said till the best 

188
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:59,000
has moved in like in 1969 what 
had happened was and you can go 

189
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,200
back and look at the links I 
have there, but there was a 

190
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,040
family up north, a wealthy 
family and the dad that had this

191
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,640
house built as going to be like 
a summer home or maybe like a 

192
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,240
winter home, whatever. 
And he had it built like a 1918,

193
00:11:14,010 --> 00:11:16,610
but before they could move in, 
and then it took a few years to 

194
00:11:16,610 --> 00:11:21,130
build it or whatever, His wife 
died in a suspicious fire. 

195
00:11:21,130 --> 00:11:24,010
I think that there she was, like
in a summer cabin up north or 

196
00:11:24,010 --> 00:11:25,250
something. 
Anyway, she died. 

197
00:11:25,650 --> 00:11:30,370
And then a year or two later, 
the son they said committed 

198
00:11:30,370 --> 00:11:32,210
suicide. 
They found him hanging from an 

199
00:11:32,210 --> 00:11:36,050
apple tree. 
Then a couple years after that, 

200
00:11:36,050 --> 00:11:41,600
the dad shot himself. 
So we have a mom dead, son dead,

201
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,040
dad dead, and the house that's 
empty for 51 years. 

202
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,160
Then the Bets family moves in. 
Now from the article I read, 

203
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,120
Mrs. Betts had gone on and she 
had a string of really 

204
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,400
successful businesses. 
It sounds like she made a lot of

205
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,200
money and I don't even know of 
her or the dad are still alive. 

206
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,280
It's been that many years, but 
at any rate, they live there and

207
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:09,620
I believe it was 1985 that they 
sold the property to the state 

208
00:12:09,740 --> 00:12:13,140
and turn it into a park and the 
house is still there and now 

209
00:12:13,140 --> 00:12:15,300
it's abandoned and you can go 
look at the pictures. 

210
00:12:15,780 --> 00:12:20,420
It is a really a really looks 
like an old haunted house, a 

211
00:12:20,420 --> 00:12:27,020
perfect place for a, you know, a
paranormal portrait pulcher 

212
00:12:27,100 --> 00:12:31,580
sphere that nobody can explain. 
But it's a fascinating case. 

213
00:12:32,010 --> 00:12:34,450
It was a lot of fun to read. 
I have some links here on the 

214
00:12:34,650 --> 00:12:39,050
website ufowarning.com. 
Stop by, check it out and read 

215
00:12:39,050 --> 00:12:41,210
for yourself and and you decide 
what it is. 

216
00:12:41,210 --> 00:12:43,610
Is it? 
Is it something from another 

217
00:12:43,610 --> 00:12:45,410
Galaxy? 
Is it just some kind of a 

218
00:12:45,410 --> 00:12:49,850
natural phenomenon? 
Or is it another one of those 

219
00:12:49,930 --> 00:12:53,970
very strange, unexplained things
that we just have to live with? 

220
00:12:54,410 --> 00:12:56,450
You can decide. 
That's all for now. 

221
00:12:56,450 --> 00:13:02,760
Over and out.
