Scientists studying spherical UFO say they've discovered alien technology

Daily Mail​07-05-2025

Scientists have released the first X-ray images of a mysterious, sphere-shaped object recovered in Colombia, which locals claim is of alien origin.
The so-called ' UFO ' was spotted in March 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 discovered it features three layers of metal-like material and 18 microspheres surrounding a central nucleus they are calling 'a chip.'
Dr Jose Luis Velazquez, a radiologist who examined the sphere, reported finding 'no welds or joints,' which would typically indicate human fabrication.
He and his team concluded: 'It is of artificial origin, in that it shows no evidence of welding, and its internal structure is composed of high-density elements. More testing is needed to establish its origin.'
The sphere also displays symbols that the team compared to ancient scripts, including runes, Ogham and Mesopotamian writing systems.
Using AI to assist in deciphering the design, the team interpreted the message to 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,' the researchers said.
The object was recovered on March 2 by a group of people, who said it weighed about four and a half pounds and had 'the temperature of a refrigerator' when touched.
David Velez el Potro, one of the individuals who recovered the object, recently spoke on Maussan Television hosted by journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan, whose research has stirred controversy for nearly a decade.
Maussan gained attention in 2017 when he claimed to have discovered alien mummies in Peru—findings that remain unconfirmed.
But Velez el Potro has claimed that the sphere is authentic, found in the woods of Buga.
He told Maussan that the man who found it, Jose, felt sick for days after touching the object.
'When I poured water on it, it started to smoke and the water vaporized instantly,' Velez el Potro added, suggesting the interior was hot and exterior cold.
However, there are no official reports or or scientific analysis to confirm claims of a sphere falling over Buga. Only eyewitness reports.
Velez el Potro said the government contacted him to hand it over the sphere, but he refused, saying, 'It would never be seen again.'
So he gave it to Maussan and his team of experts with hopes of them uncovering the sphere's origin.
Researchers found that the sphere had irregular edges, 'indicating that it is a solid object.'
The outer layer appeared to be the densest—comparable to human bone.
'The center of the sphere shows a lower radio-acoustic density than the edge, indicating an internal structure that may be more porous or composed of less dense material than the outer shell,' said Nacho Rojo, host of the YouTube channel Hidden Truth, during the interview with Maussan.
The findings suggest that the outer layer could be made of titanium or steel, but researchers noted that a full composition analysis is needed to confirm this.
X-rays also revealed 18 small dots within the center of the object, arranged in what appeared to be a non-random pattern.
The team speculated that the 18 points could be sensors, bolts or fragments of microspheres.
'Obviously, we don't know the composition or how it was manufactured, but it appears to be an object intentionally built to house these small metallic components internally,' Rojo said, referring to insights shared during the X-ray analysis.
Scientists are currently referring to the 18 points as 'a chip' due to their precise arrangement and location within the sphere.
'The symmetry suggests advanced technology or deliberate engineering,' Rojo added.
He also noted, 'These 18 points show no signs of fracture, meaning the object remains structurally intact.'
X-rays revealed that the points extend approximately 0.5 centimeters into the interior of the sphere.
Additionally, the team observed a central band composed of a different material, which contained more small spheres. They believe these may have been placed inside before the object was sealed.
However, the X-rays did not reveal any visible signs of assembly techniques.

BBC Learning English - Learning English from the News / Human consciousness: Where is it in the brain?

() ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ The story Consciousness is everything a person experiences – someone's awareness of their thoughts, feelings, sensations, memories. But where does this happen in the brain? Scientists haven't yet agreed on an explanation, but recently, two leading theories were put to the test in a large, research project. The two theories that were put against each other were very different. For example, for one of them, the front part of the brain is not considered necessary for consciousness. Whereas the other theory argues that consciousness comes from what they call 'global broadcasting' across the brain, which does include the front regions. Both theories made some accurate predictions about what was happening in the brain, but some of the predictions were wrong. 'Both theories are incomplete,' said Dr. Ferrante, one of the neuroscientists working on the project.

Moon could be a $1 trillion treasure trove of precious metals

The moon has inspired myth-makers, stargazers and astronauts. In the future, it may tempt miners. Scientists believe that billions of years of asteroid impacts have seeded the lunar surface with a fortune hiding in plain sight: precious metals potentially worth $1 trillion. The estimate — described by the team behind it as 'conservative' — stems from a study that surveyed the moon's pockmarked terrain and calculated how many of its craters were likely to have been formed by asteroids rich in platinum group metals (PGMs): ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium and platinum itself. • 13 space missions to watch in 2025 Forged during the cataclysmic collisions of neutron stars, these elements are now indispensable to catalytic converters, electronics and the green economy. 'On cosmic timescales, over several generations of stellar birth and death, they get mixed with other elements and end up in planet-forming discs and then within planets and asteroids,' said Jayanth Vyasanakere, the study's lead author. 'Metallic asteroids have a significant fraction of iron, and the PGMs are found bound to it. When these asteroids strike a body such as the moon, depending on the impact velocity some of it may survive.' Unlike Earth, the moon has no atmosphere to incinerate incoming space rocks, and no plate tectonics to bury their remnants deep underground. So much of what hits the surface should, in theory, remain there. Vyasanakere and his co-authors estimate the moon may contain up to 30 million kilograms of PGMs. The true figure will depend on the size, speed and angle of asteroid impacts, and how much of their precious cargo survived the blast. But if the new study is even remotely accurate the moon would be by far the richest known reserve of PGMs beyond Earth. For context, terrestrial annual production is about 600 tonnes (600,000kg). How concentrated the lunar deposits would be is uncertain, but Vyasanakere notes that PGMs in their parent asteroids are thought to be present at concentrations of 10 to 100 parts per million — on a par with, or better than, many terrestrial mines. However, mining on the moon would present formidable technical hurdles. With only a sixth of Earth's gravity, traditional extraction techniques that rely on weight, pressure or fluid dynamics would be difficult to apply. There is also no liquid water — a particular challenge, since most terrestrial PGM refining methods are water-intensive. Engineers would need to radically rethink how to extract and process ore in a dry vacuum. Yet our satellite offers logistical advantages that asteroids — another potential source of mineral wealth — cannot. It is close enough for near real-time remote operation of machinery. Robots could be directed from Earth with just a few seconds' communications delay, avoiding the need for fully autonomous systems, which would probably be essential for asteroid mining. And unlike individual asteroids, which must be tracked and intercepted by spacecraft, the moon is a stationary target. Its entire surface can be mapped from orbit. In large part, it already has been. 'The lack of gravity also makes it impossible for a spacecraft to 'land' on an asteroid,' Vyasanakere said. 'And many asteroids are 'rubble piles' — their surface is not stable.' So should investors brace for a collapse in the price of platinum? 'Prices could fall if, say, 100 tonnes of PGMs are brought back from the moon in one go,' Vyasanakere said. 'But this is very unlikely. The best-case scenario — at least in the early days of lunar mining — is that someone might be able to bring back a few tonnes per year, which shouldn't affect prices much.' The study, whose authors include researchers from the the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and the University of Birmingham, has been published in the journal Planetary and Space Science.
