They're in the bush, these aboriginal trackers, and they found this smooth metallic sphere partially embedded in sand emitting a low hum or vibration.

This is in 1977.

Yeah.

The object was reportedly cool to the touch despite being in the desert heat about the size of a basketball, perfectly symmetrical, seamless, and impossible to open.

One of the men picked it up but said it felt strangely heavy for its size and gave the sensation like it was pulling at his insides.

Like someone was like...

Like a magnet almost.

Ew.

The story also includes the orb started levitating slightly when placed on the ground.

The men later approached the military personnel who confiscated it and warned them never to speak of it.

One of the men became ill and disoriented afterward.

Basically, if you ask them today, what's the story with the Aboriginal men finding the sphere next to Pine Gant?

Yeah.

That never happened.

That's actually a great question.

I have no idea.

Thanks.

Andrew, can you look up when Pine Gap was founded?

Oh, do they?

Maybe it's not so secretive.
