The spheres are encountered either singly or in clusters. Sometimes they are semi-translucent."  ...and, "SUPREME HEADQUARTERS Dec. 13 [Reuters] -- The Germans have produced a 'secret' weapon in keeping with the Christmas season.    "The new device, apparently an air defense weapon, resembles the huge glass balls that adorn Christmas trees.
