The Betz Mystery Sphere Revisited: A 50-Year Search for Answers #Paranormal

Not every mystery begins with flashing lights in the sky or eerie radio transmissions from space. Some arrive in the most unassuming ways, like a silent, seamless metal sphere resting in the grass. When the Betz family discovered just such an object on their Florida property in 1974, they could not have predicted that their curiosity would ignite a media firestorm, government interest, and decades of wild speculation.

Controlling European roommate tells roommate not to use the oven because the electricity costs too much despite the electricity costing €20.37 a month split between 3 people: ‘I was using the oven for exactly 10 minutes’ #Fun
