Go to the Bulba Anomaly east of Zalissya. The Weird Ball is right infront of the Bulba Anomaly, beside the ambulance and van.

Use the Vehicles as Cover and Crouch

Getting the Weird Ball

Be sure to use the ambulance and the van as cover whenever the Bulba Anomaly starts to suck you in to avoid dying instantly. Crouching behind cover will help you avoid taking damage. You still might take damage whenever the Bulba sucks you in, so use your Medkits as needed.

Note: It is a good idea to save your game before attempting to get the Weird Ball.

The weird ball artifact is not spawning in my playthrough. I returned to Zalissja after several hours to collect it but it wont spawn. So I gave up on it.
