SPACE ORB EYE IN THE SKY

FLEA MARKET FRIDAYS #61

Let's travel back to the 1960's and jump on a kaleidoscope rocketship for a tour of our solar system.  Along the way we'll meet some strange and mysterious space creatures.  


I've found some oddball toys in my day, but this Space Orb kaleidoscope might be the oddest one yet.  Get a load of that eyeball logo!  Really this thing is a mystery as to who manufactured it.  It doesn't have any markings whatsoever.  The only thing I know is that it's a window into other worlds!  According to the Space Orb, we have some scary looking creatures lurking around on other planets.

Below is a short and simple video I made to give you an idea what it looks like when you look inside the Space Orb.  Go ahead have a peek!


Here's some photos of alien lifeforms from the other planets in our solar system.

Here's one last creature that I spotted in the Space Orb.  He kind of gives me the heebie jeebies!

I have to note this thing was actually advertised on television in the early 60's, at least on the Captain Satellite show (KTVU Oakland). Thought it was cooler than the ones with colored paper and flower petals.
