Somebody actually lives here. If you step onto the property you will be shot, so say the warning signs. Being that it is located on Route 66/Interstate 40 in Arizona, I wouldn't take that threat lightly. It is all by itself in the middle of nowhere. At first I thought it was a crazy roadside attraction, but some jackball really lives there. I don't know...but I think this guy could be a conspiracy theorist of some sort. I'm just sayin'...this is America...you can draw your own conclusions.
Does anyone know the story on this place?

This house is crazy...How many floors is it? What the heck does it look like from the inside? Why would they want a house that looks like this? Is Mork and Mindy living here? NANOO NANOO!! Is this some type of government test to get UFO's to stop by? By placing fake Ships there?
or are they real? who knows...do you have the balls to walk up to the house? knock on the door? Assuming there is a door. Maybe they get beamed in. I also wonder is it there at night time or does it fly away? Please someone Answer my questions...get on the phone to the Inquirer.
I think it must fly away at night time, because it's dark and I don't see it.
Life in a golf ball. Immediately south of Exit 25 on the west side of Interstate 40, an enormous geodesic sphere is perched on a standpipe. To all the traffic traveling on the Interstate, it looks like a golf ball sitting on a tee waiting to be sent off into space by some huge driver.
Located just south of the remaining artifacts of Route 66--a road that dates back to an era when buildings often took on the form of the product they were selling--one would be forgiven for looking for the golf course that goes with the ball. No golf course, not even a miniature one, will be found. The ball was built to be a night club and restaurant for a land development. The project went bust leaving an orphaned 40 foot diameter oddity sitting alongside Interstate 40.
The Yucca golf ball home. 1-04.
Hank and Ardell Schimmel owned RV parks, hotels and restaurants in Wyoming. They were traveling along Interstate 40 on a winter visit to the state when they happened on the abandoned sphere. Hank bought it in 1981 and presented it to Ardell for her birthday. She says, "He's always buying something goofy." This fit right in.
In 1991, the couple moved into the sphere. They divided it into three levels with 3,400 square feet of floor space. A kitchen and den are on the lowest level. The living room and dining room are on the middle level. The bedrooms round out the top level. Each floor has its own full bath, and access by an outside stairway: 42 steps to the first level, 20 more to the second level, and 18 more to the top.
Sounds like you ought to forward this to Roadside America.
It's actually an Alien base where they sell beef jerky to fund their interstellar travels. It's called "Area 66." There's an Alien named Mortimer that sometimes comes out to greet you.
