Description: These workers are standing outside the “8-Ball,” a 1-million-liter sphere used for testing static aerosols of biological agent preparations during the United States’s offensive biological warfare program. The building enclosing the 8-Ball and its supporting infrastructure were destroyed by fire in 1974. The sphere remains today as a historical monument at Fort Detrick, Frederick, Maryland.
