UFO sphere scientists uncover incredible features in ball 'that fell from space'
The Buga Sphere was spotted zig-zagging in the sky over the Colombian town in a way no conventional aircraft is capable of before being recovered shortly after it landed in a field A metallic sphere covered in bizarre symbols which was recovered after it 'landed' in a field in Colombia has been subjected to new analysis with researchers citing shocking evidence it is a genuine UFO. Dubbed the Buga Sphere, it was spotted March 2 over the town of Buga, zig-zagging around the sky in a way no conventional aircraft is capable of. The object was recovered shortly after it landed in a field and has been since analysed by scientists. Researchers claimed they found three layers of metal-like material and 18 microspheres surrounding a central nucleus they are calling 'a chip.' Now new analysis has given rise to evidence which points to a strong, decaying ionized field coming from the Buga sphere, said Rodolfo Garrido, a Mexican engineer working with a team from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). In a recent appearance on Maussan Televisión, Garrido revealed what scientists have found out so far about the sphere and its purpose, following months of research. He revealed to stunned viewers that the sphere had increased in weight since it landed and was now five times heavier, despite never changing in volume. Garrido said the sphere was capable of generating its own electromagnetic field, speaking to UFO researcher Jaime Maussan on the TV program Interstellar. He added this field was used to levitate above the ground. However not everyone is convinced by the findings. Dr Julia Mossbridge of the University of San Diego's Department of Physics and Biophysics cast doubt on the outlandish reports, instead saying the sphere was a 'man-made art project'. Jaime Maussan has previously been involved with several debunked UFO claims in the past. He has claimed to have discovered evidence of real UFO sightings, only for it to be debunked as a comet or star in the night sky. Maussan has also claimed to have discovered physical evidence of mummified alien corpses on three separate occasions, but none of the incidents have been proven true. In this case, however, scientists at UNAM said this levitation system somehow allowed the sphere to maintain a low weight of just over four pounds. The sphere's flight, which was caught on several TikTok videos, was allegedly interrupted after it struck a power cable, causing its electromagnetic field to destabilise and eventually land. The UNAM team just published their newest report on the Buga sphere. The new paper details how a microscope was set to 2,000 times normal view in order to see the hidden wiring, invisible to the human eye. The complex wire system is said to run in different directions and connects to the copper pins and points on the sphere's surface, including something resembling a microchip. During the broadcast on June 7, Maussan said: "This is just the beginning. Strategies and plans are already being developed. Various laboratories have been hired to attempt reverse engineering to understand how this sphere works." Initial X-rays of the sphere in March could not find any seams that would provide evidence of how the object was built. But, despite that, Dr Mossbridge is doubtful that the mysterious probe was an actual UFO. The cognitive neuroscientist also noted that no direct connection has been made between videos of the Buga sphere and the actual metal object found in the Colombian woods.

Scientists studying sphere-shaped UFO with alien writing uncover new details they say proves it is real
A shocking new analysis about the strange sphere recovered in Colombia is providing even more evidence experts say proves it is a genuine UFO. Known as the Buga sphere, a team of scientists in Mexico conducted new microscopic scans of the the unidentified object first spotted in March and found a maze of fiber-optic wires that suggest it can send and receive signals. The object also appears to have somehow dehydrated the field it landed in, killing all the grass and soil where it landed. Researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) suggested it likely wasn't radiation, but a kind of invisible energy that sucked all the water out of the grass and soil, leaving them dead and unable to grow back. They claimed it could have been anions, tiny particles in the air that carry a negative electric charge. However, Dr Julia Mossbridge of the University of San Diego Department of Physics and Biophysics, has doubted the authenticity of Buga sphere, calling it a 'man-made art project.' The so-called 'UFO' was spotted March 2 over the town of Buga, zig-zagging through the sky in a way that defies the movement of conventional aircraft. The object was recovered shortly after it landed and has since been analyzed by scientists, who claimed it features three layers of metal-like material and 18 microspheres surrounding a central nucleus they are calling 'a chip.' According to Rodolfo Garrido, a Mexican engineer working with the UNAM team, the new evidence points to a strong, decaying ionized field coming from the Buga sphere. Garrido, who has been examining the object since March, recently appeared on Maussan Televisión to publicly reveal what scientists have found out so far about the sphere and its purpose. Since the investigation began, the UFO is now five times heavier than when it landed, which one engineer believes proves that it uses futuristic gravitational forces to make itself lighter in order to fly. Based on the new findings inside and unexplainable shift in the sphere's weight, experts believe this could be an advanced probe using a form of energy that somehow made the UFO capable of flight by manipulating gravity. Garrido revealed that the sphere increased in weight multiple times, growing to 16, 20, and then 22 pounds, despite never changing in volume. Speaking with UFO researcher Jaime Maussan on the TV program Interstellar, Garrido said that this sphere was capable of generating its own electromagnetic field, which it used to levitate above the ground. Maussan involvement in the televised interview is making researchers question the findings even more. The journalist has been tied to several debunked claims, including multiple incidents where Maussan claimed to have evidence of a real UFO sightings, only for it to be debunked as a comet or star in the night sky. Maussan has also claimed to have discovered physical evidence of mummified alien corpses on three separate occasions, but none of the incidents have been proven true. In this case, however, scientists at UNAM said this levitation system somehow allowed the sphere to maintain a low weight of just over four pounds. The sphere's flight, which was caught on several TikTok videos, was allegedly interrupted after it struck a power cable, causing its electromagnetic field to destabilize and eventually land. The UNAM team just published their newest report on the Buga sphere after finding this fiber-optic puzzle hidden inside. It took a digital microscope set to 2,000 times normal view in order to see the hidden wiring, which runs in different directions and connect to the copper pins and points on the sphere's surface, including something resembling a microchip. 'This is just the beginning. Strategies and plans are already being developed. Various laboratories have been hired to attempt reverse engineering to understand how this sphere works,' Maussan revealed during the June 7 broadcast. At the time, Velez el Potro spoke to Maussan, who has stirred up controversy for in the ufology community for nearly a decade. In 2017, Maussan claimed to have discovered alien mummies in Peru — findings that recently gained worldwide attention after a fetus was allegedly found inside one of the corpses. However, outside experts have raised serious doubts. Forensic archaeologist Flavio Estrada, who led an analysis of the bodies, said the claims that the specimens come from another world are 'totally false.' The man who discovered the sphere captured on video, David Velez el Potro, has suffered from nausea and vertigo since touching the object. Velez el Potro told Maussan that his friend who first made contact with the sphere, Jose, also felt sick for days after touching the object. Now, locals living near the crash site revealed to Velez el Potro the grass field the sphere sat in has completely died out and has not grown back in three months. 'Many people went to Alto Bonito and started sending me photos of this place,' Velez el Potro said on Interstellar. 'This is important news because we are corroborating and certifying that the sphere indeed had an electromagnetic field, magnetic fields, or some kind of radiation or static that caused the grass to dry out in that area,' he added. Initial X-rays of the sphere in March could not find any seams which would reveal how the object was built. Despite that, Dr Mossbridge voiced serious skepticism that the mysterious probe was an actual UFO. The cognitive neuroscientist and a researcher of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) noted that no direct connection has been made between videoes of the Buga sphere and the actual metal object found in the Colombian woods. 'The sphere itself seems kind of like an art project,' the UFO researcher said, adding that she believes it was created by humans, not aliens. However, the new evidence revealed by UNAM is making the story of a man-made hoax harder to believe. Dr Mossbridge admitted that humanity is nearing a point where it may soon have to deal with the knowledge that aliens exist. 'We are entering a time when we are starting to recognize as humans we don't have the control that we thought we had over everything,' Mossbridge told Fox News.

UFO Discovered in Colombia? Scientist Weighs In
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Colombian radiology specialist says a mysterious metal orb discovered in his country is an unidentified flying object (UFO) of extraterrestrial origin, though experts remain skeptical of the claim. Jose Luis Velasquez, the radiology specialist, determined the extraterrestrial origin after inspecting the object and finding no marks indicating the metal orb had been welded together or contained joined parts in any way, according to a post on X, formerly Twitter, from a creator who labels their content as entertainment. The object - known as the "Buga Sphere" - was discovered in Buga, Colombia earlier this year, according to video in the social media post. Images of the orb show a silver-colored sphere about the size of a bowling ball covered in what appears to be foreign text and drawings. However, Dr. Julia Mossbridge, founder of the Mossbridge Institute and a researcher affiliated with multiple universities and technology companies, expressed strong doubts about the extraterrestrial claims when contacted by Newsweek. "Buga Sphere, I really suspect it's a piece of artwork," Mossbridge explained. "It looks so human made to me." Newsweek reached out to Velasquez via email for comment on Sunday during non-working hours. Why It Matters After decades of denying any knowledge of UFOs, the Pentagon released a report in November of 2024 regarding unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) following a congressional hearing in which House lawmakers urged for greater transparency. The report documented hundreds of instances where balloons, birds and satellites were mistakenly identified, along with a few cases that remain puzzling—such as a close encounter between a commercial airliner and an unidentified object off the New York coast. Federal efforts to investigate UAPs have prioritized potential risks to national security and air safety rather than delving into theories. Officials at the Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), established in 2022 to track UAPs, have stated there is no evidence suggesting that any cases they examined have extraterrestrial origins. Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott Bray points to a video display of a UAP during a hearing of the House Intelligence, Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation Subcommittee hearing on "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena," on Capitol Hill,... Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott Bray points to a video display of a UAP during a hearing of the House Intelligence, Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation Subcommittee hearing on "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena," on Capitol Hill, May 17, 2022, in Washington. More AP Photo/Alex Brandon What To Know Dr. Tim Gallaudet, a retired Rear Admiral U.S. Navy was one of four witnesses who spoke during the congressional hearing about UAP last year. The Admiral said the discoveries led him to the "new realization that we are not the only advanced intelligence in the universe." "As a former science agency leader, I have always sought the truth in human knowledge and thought," Gallaudet said during the hearing. "Now that we know UAP are interacting with humanity, and these include unidentified submerged objects (USOs) in the ocean, we should not keep our heads stuck in the sand but boldly face this new reality and learn from it." The AARO says UAPs are "not yet attributable to known actors and that demonstrate behaviors that are not readily understood by sensors or observers." "A UAP may consist of one or more unidentified anomalous objects and may persist over an extended period of time," the agency's website explained. While Mossbridge thinks the Buga Sphere is an art piece and not a UAP, she says the object has allowed for more conversation surrounding the phenomena. "If it is a UAP I would be stunned but it's possible," she said, cautioning that the object could "discredit actual UAP investigations." Mossbridge says that there has been progress in wider publicity of UAP's but she would like to see more cooperation between foreign governments to share data and lead to further knowledge and understanding among the human race. "I think that governments need to think more about the psychosocial positive aspects of these kind of mysteries, because self-transcendence is often ignored as a motivating factor in people's behavior," she explained, "when people start focusing on something that's bigger than us, it really powerfully changes behavior the better." She thinks that people and governments continue to open up to discover knowledge about the unknown as a form of trying to explain that which we don't understand to quell our own fears. "As humans we want to feel safe so we want to say this is how things work," Mossburg said. "It's a real trick of just noticing how human psychology works and allowing ourselves to know everything. The safest thing we can do is try to discover what's true." What People Are Saying Julia Mossbridge, MA, PhD, told Newsweek by phone Sunday: "It seems to me we could use the mystery and the humility that UAP produce in people who see and experience them, we could use that as a way to bring countries together that are currently not together. " What Happens Next The next steps for identifying the origin of the Buga sphere are unclear. Mossbridge says there are several agencies that could study the object if given access that would be able to further examine it. She says as people continue to experience and self-document these phenomena, we should be able to grow in our understanding of them. "People can see whats in the sky, they can see whats in the water. I think the era of trying to hide things that are not hideable is over," Mossbridge told Newsweek.
