Alien eggpod [Alien eggpod - Album on Imgur](https://imgur.com/gallery/ARZmvga) Walking the dogs. On the backside of the pond I stop to rest a second. Bayliss, being a good dog, let’s out a low growl and I look down at what he sees and this is what I found. A round, perfectly clear glass ball. I cannot think of how this got there. I don’t remember ever owning a nearly golf ball size glass ball. Yep. Alien egg. “Take me to your leader, resistance is futile!” ---

I wish you luck on your impending journey. > _ **The Gods Must Be Crazy** _ is a 1980 [comedy film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedy_film) written, produced, edited and directed by [Jamie Uys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Uys). An international co-production of South Africa and Botswana, it is the first film in [_The Gods Must Be Crazy_ series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gods_Must_Be_Crazy_(film_series)). > Set in [Southern Africa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Africa), the film stars Namibian [San](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_people) farmer [Nǃxau ǂToma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C7%83xau_%C7%82Toma) as Xi, a [hunter-gatherer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter-gatherer) of the [Kalahari Desert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalahari_Desert) whose tribe discovers a glass bottle dropped from an airplane, and believe it to be a gift from their gods. When Xi sets out to return the bottle to the gods, his journey becomes intertwined with that of a biologist (played by [Marius Weyers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marius_Weyers)), a newly hired village school teacher ([Sandra Prinsloo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandra_Prinsloo)), and a band of [guerrilla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_warfare) terrorists. ---

I’ve gotta another picture of it in my hand. It creeps me right out to look at it. I was just looking at the one I posted here. I realized it’s smiling. This thingy is mocking me! Eeeeekk! Well I’m freaked out now. I’ll bet I can’t lose it or destroy it Doomed, I tell you. Doomed!! Bayliss tried to warn me. Will I never learn? ---

I like it. Well, I lie. I don’t LIKE it, but the name works. I was showing the glass ball to Son-of-a-wrek. Here’s his theory (disclaimer: he’s nuts): He says the moon is covered with tiny glass spheres. The dark government is mining these things for a secret power source. Some moon rock glass spheres are bound to get lost every now and again. He wants to test his theory by running experiments. DIL vehemently told him “Nope”. He’s studying it magnetic properties. I’m not letting him take it out of my sight. I fear for his safety 🤯 ---

I think we need more and better pictures. One of each with a ruler nearby to give us scale. One of all of them together. Theories need something to start from (unless you’re Qrazy). [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/having-a-bad-bad-bad-stroll-well-looky-here/949724.md?page=2)
