A shadow government entity probably swapped out the real sphere with a fake sphere while it was with the Navy. Probably.

Thanks for the link and backstory. You definitely went into a lot of detail with your post.

making everyone have to google what you are asking is always a solid way to start a thread discussion

It's a ball valve manufactured by Bell & Howell in Bridgeport, CT.

Ed. If you don't know what the Betz sphere is you must have been living under a rock the last 50 years pal.

Well I've only been alive for 30 but seeing how this thread has so quickly taken off, I'm fine with not knowing

I know all about the Betz sphere and Uncle Smacky is fine without knowing after this thread.

Astonishing Legends podcast

Listening to a podcast about it. Interesting. Original xrays not showing any manufacturing signs was odd.

Yep, the Betz Sphere is something EVERYONE knows about. What kind of moron doesn't know what the Batz Sphere was. I mean, this is the Bert Spire we're talking about.

I like turtles.
