UFO sphere scientists uncover incredible features in ball 'that fell from space'
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.

An interstellar object is heading towards Earth, scientist warns
Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb has suggested that the interstellar object 31/ATLAS, recently detected nearing Earth, could be an engineered object rather than a natural one. Loeb bases his theory on the object's unusual brightness, which implies a diameter of 20 km, and a glow observed in front of it, unlike the trailing tail of typical comets. He noted that it would take 10,000 years for such a massive object to naturally arrive in the inner solar system, and that it will be unobservable when closest to Earth. 31/ATLAS is only the third interstellar object ever detected in our solar system, confirmed to have originated outside it. Loeb has a history of similar controversial claims, having previously theorised an alien origin for Oumuamua in 2017 and for a meteor recovered in 2023, though other astrophysicists have offered natural explanations for these phenomena.

Harvard scientist warns interstellar object blasting toward Earth ‘may come to save – or destroy us'
A Harvard astronomer is suggesting that an interstellar object nearing Earth could be an engineered object — rather than a natural one — after making similar claims in in 2023 and 2017. Avi Loeb, the chair of Harvard's astronomy department, told CNN on Thursday that the 31/ATLAS interstellar object detected by the Deep Random Survey remote telescope in Chile could have an alien origin. "The brightness of the object implies a diameter of 20 km, and there is not enough rocky material in interstellar space to deliver such a giant object per decade," Loeb said. He noted that it takes "10,000 years for that much mass to arrive to the inner part of the solar system." Loeb also said that the object will be closest to the Earth when our planet is on the opposite side of the sun, meaning we won't be able to actually see it. "We won't be able to observe it, but that's the perfect time for it to maneuver, and so we just need to watch it," he said. He went on to say he thinks there's a chance that the object could be engineered rather than naturally occurring. "I'm not saying it's an alien technology," Loeb said. "I'm just saying it doesn't look like a very common thing, and actually, the glow that is around this object, usually for comets, you see a trailing tail behind the object and here the glow from the Hubble Space Telescope image is actually in front of the object." The astronomer said that "we've never seen such a thing" and noted that a comet wouldn't "have glow in front of it." He argued that it's prudent for humanity to examine any interstellar objects entering our solar system, just to be sure they're harmless. '[31/ATLAS] may come to save us or destroy us,' he said. 'We'd better be ready for both options and check whether all interstellar objects are rocks.' 31/ATLAS made news in July after scientists confirmed it originated outside of our solar system, making it one of only three known interstellar objects discovered in our little slice of space. The object is massive, with scientists estimating it is more than 12 miles wide. Loeb theorizing a more enigmatic origin of the object isn't exactly off-brand for him. In 2023 he made headlines after he and a team recovered a meteor that fell into the Pacific Ocean. He claimed at the time that an analysis found previously unseen metal alloys in the rock, suggesting at very least an origin outside of our solar system, but other astrophysicists were skeptical of those claims. Back in 2017, Oumuamua, a long, rod-like object, became the first known interstellar object detected in our solar system. Loeb released a paper in 2021 exploring the idea that the strange object — which about the length of a football field but only as thick as a common cigar — was possibly using a "light sail" that captures the sun's energy as a means of propulsion. He was essentially suggesting that Oumuamua could have been crafted by aliens or some other intelligence. In 2023, researchers published a study that found the object's strange orbit and apparent propulsion was actually achieved through a mechanism found in many icy comets. Essentially, hydrogen was being released from the object as it was warmed by the sun's heat. 'For a comet several kilometers across, the outgassing would be from a really thin shell relative to the bulk of the object, so both compositionally and in terms of any acceleration, you wouldn't necessarily expect that to be a detectable effect,' UC Berkeley assistant professor of chemistry Jennifer Bergner said at the time. 'But because Oumuamua was so small, we think that it actually produced sufficient force to power this acceleration.'

Chilling new clue interstellar object is of intelligent design... as scientists warn 'it could save or destroy us'
The scientific community is embroiled in a heated debate over the origin of a mysterious interstellar object that entered our solar system last month. While NASA initially identified the object, named 3I/ATLAS, as a comet after spotting what appeared to be a tail, Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb publicly challenged that conclusion on Thursday. Speaking to CNN, Loeb revealed that the object's unusual brightness suggests it is 'not a common thing.' 'The brightness of the object implies a diameter of 12 miles, and there is not enough rocky material in interstellar space to deliver such a giant object per decade,' he said. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured images of the object on July 21, revealing a glowing area at its front, something never before observed in a comet. 'Usually, for comets, you see a tail trailing behind the object,' said Loeb. 'Here, the glow is actually in front of it. We've never seen such a thing. A comet doesn't glow in front.' Loeb has also raised the possibility that the object may not be natural at all. 'It may come to save us or destroy us,' the professor said. 'We'd better be ready for both options and check whether all interstellar objects are rocks.' Chris Lintott, an astronomer at the University of Oxford, told Live Science that Loeb's theory is 'nonsense on stilts,' calling it 'an insult to the exciting work going on to understand this object.' However, Loeb said his analysis remains rooted in observational data. He told CNN that another clue that the object is not natural is its 'very finely tuned' trajectory. 'It lies in the plane of the orbits of the planets around the sun to within five degrees,' Loeb explained. According to him, the odds of that alignment happening by chance are one in 500. Even more striking, he says, is how closely the object passes Jupiter, Mars, and Venus, a pattern with odds of 1 in 20,000 if the arrival time were randomized. 'It will arrive closest to the sun when the Earth is on the opposite side. We won't be able to observe it. But that's the perfect time for it to maneuver.' By 'maneuver,' Loeb refers to his theory that the object might use its solar flyby in October as a stealthy approach window, if it is, in fact, an alien probe. Among his more provocative theories, Loeb wrote on his blog that 3I/ATLAS could be an alien mothership releasing small probes to intercept Earth. 'The more likely scenario from an engineering perspective involves a mothership that releases mini-probes which perform a reverse Oberth maneuver to slow down at perihelion and intercept Earth,' Loeb wrote. This type of maneuver uses the sun's gravitational pull at the object's closest approach to adjust the trajectory efficiently, allowing it to reach Earth without large amounts of fuel. 'So, we just need to watch it. I'm not saying it's an alien technology, I'm just saying it doesn't look like a very common thing,' Loeb told CNN. 'Why should we assume that we are the only ones in our cosmic neighborhood? We should just check by looking at the data.' While NASA reported observing a tail, Loeb and his team recently determined that no such thing exists. 'There were claims of a tail,' he said, 'but since 3I/ATLAS is accelerating and its current size is not much larger than the angular resolution of Earth-based telescopes, it is not easy to avoid fictitious elongation of the image as a result of the object's motion.' He also questioned the object's unusual lack of gas emissions and its precise, retrograde trajectory, which aligns suspiciously well with the inner solar system. Loeb has developed what he calls the 'Loeb Scale', a ranking system to evaluate the likelihood that an object is artificial, and gave 3I/ATLAS a six out of ten. That suggests it is more likely than not to be engineered, though he emphasized that this score may change as more data becomes available.
