Scientists reveal truth behind 'UFO' seen in major city with 'cryptic message'
The object allegedly was spotted zig-zagging in the sky over the Colombian city of Buga before landing in March.
While there is no evidence that object seen flying in a nontraditional way is the same as the one recovered on the ground, a team of scientists have been analyzing it.
The team used AI to decipher symbols inscribed on the sphere which they likened to ancient scripts.
Researchers have translated the symbols to the read: 'The origin of birth through union and energy in the cycle of transformation, meeting point of unity, expansion, and consciousness — individual consciousness.'
'We interpret it as a message to humanity, encouraging a collective shift in consciousness to help Mother Earth — especially considering the current issues with pollution and environmental decline,' they said.
But one unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) researcher, Dr Julia Mossbridge, is skeptical that the object is actually a UFO or of alien material.
'The sphere itself seems kind of like an art project' created by humans, Mossbridge, who is a cognitive neuroscientist, told Fox News recently.
'If an artist is doing this, why is that? Well, I think it's partly the same reason.
'It's because we're learning that we don't understand what's in our skies or our waters. And there's something going on that's essentially bigger than us.' More Trending
She pointed out the lack of concrete evidence to show that the object observed in the sky is the same as the one found in the ground.
But Mossbridge, who attended a congressional hearing on UAPs on May 1, said humans may soon have to reckon with the possibility of alien life.
'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,' she said.

Perseid meteor shower to peak tomorrow - when and where to see cosmic fireworks
Stuck on our silly little planet in the abyss of space, there's only so much of the universe's wonders we can actually see. But tomorrow, the Earth will get a front row seat to something pretty wonderful – a meteor shower, nature's firework display. The Perseid (Per-see-id) meteor shower is one of the strongest meteor showers each year, with as many as 150 colourful shooting stars an hour. It has been active since July 17 and will last until August 24, but its peak, when activity is the greatest, is from tomorrow to Wednesday. Space is full of near-endless rubbish: dirt, dust and ice. Sometimes, all this ice gets clumped into one big dirty snowball called a comet. After gravity slings them into our Solar System, they leave behind trails of ice and rock that linger in space for years. Eventually, as the Earth does laps around the Sun, we drift into these particles which enter the atmpsohere at such a speed that they burn up and become shooting stars. This can last for days and even weeks, with the peak being when our planet is passing through the densest part of this cosmic debris. From our point of view, the meteor shower will seemingly come from the same place in the sky. In Perseid's case, the bright fireballs come from muck left behind buy the Comet Swift-Tuttle which will comes from the constellation Perseus, a constellation in the northern sky. The second the Sun sets, the Perseids will be visible, according to the Royal Museums Greenwich. The best time to see the Perseids is between 12am and 5.30am. While you might assume you need telescopes and binoculors, you only need your eyes to see the hundreds of colourful streaks. This expensive kit can obscure your vision, making just looking up the best option. Just make sure to give your eyes 30 minutes to adjust to the darkness. How many meteors you'll actually be able to see, however, depends a lot on where in the UK you live. The shower will be visible everywhere in the UK, like most of the northern hemisphere. More Trending Light pollution, however, can make seeing stars, let alone of the shooting kind, next to impossible. Planetariums, local astronomy clubs or even maps like this one can help you find the darkest spots near you. The Moon could make things tricky, however. While the Full Moon was last week, our lunar neighbour will still be big and bright in the sky. According to timeanddate, the Moon also won't set until about 9/10am, so the lights from the meteor shower will be competing with the Moon. Tools like this one from the Global Meteor Network show how many meteors per hour will be visible.

Explosive new claims around iconic 'Tic Tac' UFO reveal shocking secrets
Fresh claims about the infamous 2004 'Tic Tac' UFO encounter are reigniting fierce debate over the true nature of the mysterious craft observed by US Navy pilots off the coast of Southern California. Journalist and UFO investigator Ross Coulthart has sparked controversy by asserting that the craft, captured on video and later released by the Pentagon, is actually advanced man-made technology developed by aerospace giant Lockheed Martin. Coulthart suggested the craft may have been operated psionically, controlled through advanced mental or neurological means, and could be the product of reverse-engineering non-human technology recovered by the US government. However, leading experts in the field of unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP) rejected this explanation. UFO researcher Mark Christopher Lee argued that the Tic Tac's silent propulsion, instantaneous acceleration, and lack of visible lift mechanisms closely match sightings of similar craft documented centuries before modern aviation, making it unlikely to be current military tech. 'There have been documented sightings of the same type of craft even before the technological age,' Lee told the Daily Mail. 'This continuity suggests an intelligent, non-human presence operating beyond our understanding.' The 2004 i ncident remains one of the most well-known UFO encounters in recent history. During training exercises, Navy pilots aboard the USS Nimitz tracked multiple unidentified objects descending from 80,000 feet in under a second. Cmdr. David Fravor described a white, capsule-shaped craft, the now-iconic Tic Tac, which appeared to respond intelligently to their maneuvers before rapidly accelerating out of sight. Coulthart, who has long investigated UAP secrecy, suggested the encounter was part of a covert military program rather than an alien visitation. 'I now know categorically that the Tic Tac is Lockheed Martin technology,' he claimed, adding that multiple similar craft were spotted over several days, possibly indicating advanced tests of this classified technology. Yet Lee suspected such claims are deliberate misdirection aimed at hiding the true extraterrestrial origins of these crafts. He noted historical records, including the 1561 Nuremberg 'cylindrical flying objects' and the 1890s US 'airship wave,' as evidence of long-standing unexplained aerial phenomena beyond human capabilities. 'There is a strong chance that what we are seeing is beyond human technology, and attempts to explain it as secret military hardware serve only to distract the public,' Lee said. Some experts, like Dr Ajaz Ali from Ravensbourne University, caution that many UFO sightings stem from advanced but earthly technology. Cold War-era reconnaissance missions by the US and Soviet Union, such as U-2 spy plane flights, and modern drone developments have often been mistaken for extraterrestrial craft. 'The shapes and behaviors of modern drones and spy aircraft closely mimic those reported in UFO encounters,' Ali said, noting that declassified documents have linked covert aerial operations to the rise of UFO lore. Despite decades of investigation, the true identity of the Tic Tac craft remains a mystery, fueling an ongoing clash between believers in secret military tech and advocates of alien visitation theories. 'It's possible we'll never fully understand this intelligence,' Lee concluded. 'It may be far beyond anything we currently comprehend.' However, the mystery of the Tic Tac remains unsolved, leaving both believers in extraterrestrial intelligence and advocates of secret military technology debating what exactly is flying above our heads. 'It's conceivable that it was being operated neuro-meditatively, psionically, by a human psionic,' Coulthart said. 'It makes no scientific sense to me that the Tic Tac UFO is Lockheed Martin technology,' Lee told the Daily Mail. 'There have been many documented sightings throughout history of the same type of craft, even before the technological age. 'These sightings are well-documented. There was definitely something technological in their skies, but it wasn't ours. 'What it is or where it comes from, I do not know. That is the question we are all trying to answer.' Lee agreed that there may be attempts to reverse-engineer alien technology and suspects that the reporting around the Tic Tac sighting is intended to divert attention from this. He claimed efforts to portray such craft as secret military technology are designed to prevent the public from realizing that aliens regularly visit Earth. 'I suspect the US military is diverting us away from what they actually know about this technology, which is most likely extraterrestrial in origin,' he said. 'However, I'm also sure that reverse engineering programs are ongoing—this has been confirmed to me by a senior intelligence contact in the UK military, though with limited success.' 'There are a lot of so-called UFO experts making wild claims, all wanting to be the messiah who brings us the truth, but the reality is we do not know, and maybe never will fully understand what this intelligence is. It may be far beyond anything we can comprehend.'

UFO whistleblower reveals the FOUR types of aliens the US government knows about
A recent Capitol Hill hearing has reignited debate over Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. In a May UAP briefing, physicist Dr Eric Davis, known for his work on top-secret Pentagon projects, stunned listeners by referencing alleged alien species, 'Grays, Nordics, Insectoids, and Reptilians,' as potential operators of unidentified craft. Davis described these entities as humanoid, approximately human-sized, and possibly linked to classified reverse-engineering programs. Missouri Representative Eric Burlison, a member of the House Oversight Committee and UAP caucus, prompted the discussion, revealing on The Endless Void with Kristin Fisher that he had heard these same four classifications in private briefings. 'I've heard those four classifications discussed in meetings in this office by others,' Burlison said. 'But what I wasn't expecting was for him to say it. I wasn't expecting Eric Davis, you know, respected scientists, to say that.' Burlison, a self-described skeptic, admitted uncertainty about Davis's sources, noting the physicist's comments may stem from firsthand knowledge or secondhand reports. 'If true, this would be a paradigm-shifting moment,' Burlison said. 'But if it is true, the government has no right to keep such a secret from the public it serves.' The concept of Grays as a popular alien archetype took hold in the mid-1960s, largely due to the famous Betty and Barney Hill abduction case. The couple described being taken by small humanoids with smooth gray skin, large black almond-shaped eyes, and lacking typical human features like noses or ears. Nordics are described as tall, slender beings resembling Scandinavian humans, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. Often linked to the Pleiades star cluster, these entities are said to possess advanced technology and peaceful intentions, featuring prominently in 1950s contactee and UFO lore. Insectoids, meanwhile, have been part of alien mythology since at least the early 1900s, with roots tracing back to Georges Méliès' 1902 film 'A Trip to the Moon.' These beings exhibit insect-like traits such as multiple limbs, exoskeletons, mandibles, and sometimes antennae. The reptilian theory, claiming shape-shifting reptilian aliens secretly control Earth, surged in popularity through conspiracy theorist David Icke in the late 20th century. Interestingly, similar half-human, half-serpent figures appear in ancient South and Southeast Asian myths, such as the Nāga. While Davis named each of these in May, Burlison leaned toward a more earthly explanation, suggesting UAPs are likely advanced human-made technologies, perhaps experimental projects by private contractors. 'With all of the advancements that we've made, the fact that we discovered the Higgs Boson particle, all of the discoveries in quantum physics, and that nobody has figured out a way to create some form of advanced propulsion,' he remarked. However, Burlison expressed frustration at the thought of such technology existing, recalling how he sat delayed on a tarmac for three hours due to weather, joking, 'If we have advanced propulsion, I'm going to be really angry.' Critics have dismissed the hearings as veering into the absurd, with references to 'reptilians' and 'insectoids' sounding more like science fiction than serious inquiry. Davis named each of these under oath in May as the beings invading Earth's skies. Pictured is a shot from the 'Go Fast' video that was released in 'Some will think we're nuts,' Burlison acknowledged, aware of the skepticism his comments invite. Yet he defended the investigation, emphasizing that taxpayer money funds Pentagon, intelligence, and energy department programs studying UAPs. 'I owe it to the American people to get to the bottom of this,' he said. Burlison believes the public could handle the truth if aliens were confirmed. 'Most would just read the headline and move on,' he predicted, noting humanity's tendency to normalize even the most extraordinary revelations. However, he insisted that any such discoveries should not be hidden. 'The government belongs to the people, not the other way around,' Burlison stressed. 'Keeping such monumental secrets would betray the trust of the public.' While remaining cautious about extraterrestrial claims, Burlison plans to press Dr Davis for clarification on whether his startling remarks come from direct knowledge or secondary reports. Burlison believes the public could handle the truth if aliens were confirmed. 'Some will read the headline and go about their day,' he predicted, citing human behavior's tendency to normalize even earth-shattering news. However, he stressed that any such revelation should not be kept secret. 'I believe that this government belongs to the people. It's not that the people don't belong to the government,' he said, arguing that withholding paradigm-shifting discoveries would betray public trust. The lack of concrete evidence, coupled with Davis's ambiguous sources, keeps the debate speculative. Burlison plans to follow up with Davis to clarify whether his claims stem from direct observation or research assignments analyzing reported phenomena.
