Our window just got bombarded with the creepiest beetle I've ever seen around here! Have never before seen one like it, they were about the size of a golf ball.

That is a type of scarab beetle! I think it's the Ten-Lined June beetle (also known as Watermelon Beetle).
 
Yeah, that's a ten-lined June beetle - completely harmless.
Here's one that I found in the desert:

During warm Summer nights they are attracted to light and make a lot of noise on window screens, trying to get in the house. Around here (Ohio) our June beetles are a "boring" brown, rather than being patterned like yours. Here's one that I found in the Metroparks a few weeks ago:

We have little mini- June bugs here. I don't know what they really are, but they are like light brown June bugs, only about 1/4" long.
 
We every now and then get the brown "June bugs" like the one in that picture but they aren't hairy and don't have the weird feelers.
