What happens
Harvey Gosh, owner of a roadside gas station and cafe in a small desert town, and his son Rob find a strange, breathing, beach-ball-like object in a dry wash after a meteor-like fall. Harvey sees a chance to make money from it and plans to keep it hidden, while Rob and his sister Kathy grow uneasy. Kathy begins to feel a pull toward the creature, and the family argues over what to do with it. The episode is part of the Exploring Tomorrow series, originally broadcast December 25, 1957, and features its regular cast.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
