Scientists studying sphere-shaped UFO with alien writing uncover new details they say proves it is real
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.

Evangelists once used guns to convert the Amazon. Their new tool is deadly too
Five hundred years ago it was the horse, the plough and the gun that helped convert millions of indigenous people in South America to Christianity. Now evidence has emerged that 21st-century missionaries are, like their predecessors, using modern technology to proselytise. Last week, a joint investigation by the Brazilian newspaper O Globo and The Guardian revealed that solar-powered devices reciting biblical messages had been found by members of the Korubo people in the Javari valley, near the Brazil-Peru border. The discovery was troubling because of where it was made. The exceptionally remote valley is home to an estimated 6,000 people, including several thousand members of 11 'uncontacted' tribes living their lives in stone-age conditions. All are acutely vulnerable to diseases such as measles, which affects other societies less having gained partial immunity over hundreds of years of exposure. Since 1987, the Brazilian government has stipulated that no non-indigenous people can enter the area at all. Interaction with the uncontacted tribes is permitted only if they initiate the process. The situation is precarious, with loggers, miners, poachers, drug traffickers and missionaries all known to be active on the fringes of the region. The yellow and grey device found by the Korubo was, O Globo reported, the size of a mobile phone. It broadcast passages — apparently in Spanish and Portuguese — from the Bible, along with lectures by the late American Baptist evangelical Charles Stanley. It does not run out of power thanks to an built-in solar panel. 'This is very serious,' Ivaneide Bandeira of the Kanindé Association told The Sunday Times. The association lobbies for the rights of the people of the Amazon basin. The fact that a man-made device had been left so close to otherwise isolated people raised the risk of spreading diseases to them, she said. 'That radio has already passed through many hands and can itself lead to contamination.' Unfortunately, Bandeira said that deploying such gadgets was a highly effective way of attracting the uncontacted. 'They arouse curiosity — all human beings are curious.' • Amazon's last uncontacted tribes 'withdraw for their own survival' Any object that makes 'musical sounds' holds a particular allure to indigenous people, she added. The 16th-century missionaries used musical instruments when they first made contact, a practice fictionalised in the 1986 film The Mission when the Jesuit Father Gabriel, portrayed by Jeremy Irons, plays the oboe to a Guarani community. What can appear innocent or well intentioned is often a prelude to something far darker, she warned. 'It opens the door to people who will destroy the culture of indigenous people, their spirituality and eventually their lives. All contact, however well done, kills a lot of people.' She said that across the Amazon indigenous rituals were already being edged out by western culture, often introduced by missionaries. 'They learn the indigenous language and then the whole, powerful evangelisation process begins.' She described how the missionaries — in recent decades most often Protestants rather than Catholics — would bring clothes as gifts, which the local people would then be persuaded to wear 'to cover their shame'. She said they were also encouraged to marry, like good Christians. Weddings were often conducted 'in the white man's tradition' complete with veils and wreaths. Bandeira added that modern technology could give outsiders the appearance of possessing supernatural powers. 'They usually arrive in the villages and forests with a lot of antibiotics,' she said. 'They hand out medicines that cure illnesses faster than the ones the shamans give. This can convince people that the medicine comes from God.' The device reportedly found by the Korubo is one of a type distributed by a Baptist group, In Touch Ministries, based in Atlanta, Georgia. On its website the organisation describes its mission as being 'to lead people worldwide into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and to strengthen the local church'. The family of gadgets, known as Messengers, are distributed around the world. Some are specifically designed to bring the Gospel to places without reliable electricity or an internet connection. Seth Grey, chief operating officer at In Touch Ministries, told O Globo that his group used Messengers because they were effective. 'It's built for functionality, solar-powered, with a flashlight,' he said. 'Then they discover the content.' Grey said he personally delivered 48 of the devices to the Wai-wai people in the Amazon, four years ago. The Wai-wai are understood to have collaborated with American missionaries to convert other tribes since they were converted to Christianity in the 1950s. But Grey said Messengers should not be present in the Javari region. 'We don't go anywhere we are not allowed,' he insisted. Evangelism has been rising steadily in Brazil in recent decades. According to the country's latest census, released in June, those identifying as evangelical Christians now account for more than a quarter of all Brazilians. The country's historically dominant Catholic population saw its numbers fall in the same survey, from 65 per cent in 2010 to 57 per cent. Evangelicals have been especially successful in making inroads in the Amazon region. The former president, Jair Bolsonaro, a right-wing ex-soldier who was in office from 2019-23, actively courted the evangelical vote and was backed by several prominent pastors. In one of his most controversial moves as president, Bolsonaro sought to appoint a former evangelical missionary, Ricardo Lopes Dias, as the head of the government department tasked with protecting isolated and recently contacted indigenous tribes. Lopes Dias was linked to a missionary group whose explicit purpose was to convert 'unreached people' to Christianity. Appointing such a controversial figure purportedly to protect indigenous people was described by activists at the times as equivalent to 'putting a fox in charge of the hen house'. Eventually the appointment was blocked by the courts. By 2030 it is forecast that there will be more Brazilian evangelicals than Catholics. Pastors talk of the development as a 'revival' that should be duplicated around the world. But Bandeira questions whether this really is something to celebrate, especially if those numbers are being swelled by indigenous converts. She said her experience was that contact with evangelical missionaries eventually led to 'envy, and then division' inside the communities.

Stephen Hawking's chilling alien doomsday prediction spreads as scientist issues alarming warning
Stephen Hawking's chilling warning to humanity may be coming true after a renowned scientist claimed a 'hostile' encounter with alien life could be months away. Hawking, the famous theoretical physicist who died in 2018, warned the world that making contact with alien life could end in disaster for the human race. The late professor believed that actively seeking out extraterrestrials would bring on a deadly invasion, similar to how cultures on Earth have wiped out less advanced civilizations in the past. 'The extraterrestrials would probably be far in advance of us, 'Professor Hawking said in 2004. 'The history of advanced races meeting more primitive people on this planet is not very happy, and they were the same species. I think we should keep our heads low.' He advocated for more passive searches for intelligent life, such as listening for alien radio signals, rather than actively broadcasting our presence to the universe. Hawking's grim message was recently revisited by an international team of researchers studying the so-called 'intelligence trap.' This concept has suggested that overconfidence could lead to disastrous consequences. In this case, successfully contacting a UFO could draw the attention of a malevolent species that destroys humanity. Hawking's words have gained even more traction after a respected Harvard astrophysicist suggested that the mysterious object barreling toward Earth this December could be a hostile UFO. Professor Avi Loeb and other scientists have conducted multiple studies involving interstellar object 3I/ATLAS since it was discovered approaching our solar system in late June. Although some astronomers have declared 3I/ATLAS to be a giant comet, Loeb contended there are signs it was artificially created, including its extremely unusual course that will make close passes by Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. This led Loeb to warn that such a craft and the beings who control it would have one of two motives for visiting our solar system, one being harmless and the other being hostile. 'The consequences, should the hypothesis turn out to be correct, could potentially be dire for humanity, and would possibly require defensive measures to be undertaken (though these might prove futile),' Loeb wrote in a study on the pre-print server arXiv on July 17. 3I/ATLAS is expected to pass within 223 million miles of Earth on December 17, speeding through the solar system at more than 41 miles per second (roughly 150,000 miles per hour). 'The late Stephen Hawking believed that direct contact with advanced alien civilizations would inevitably lead to the colonization of Earth by aliens,' US and Iranian researchers wrote in the Journal of Biomedical Physics and Engineering in 2024. The study examining Hawking's warning explained how the 'intelligence trap' suggests that highly intelligent individuals may be prone to cognitive biases, such as overconfidence or relying on past experiences, leading to flawed decision-making. While some scientists believe there are immeasurable benefits of contacting aliens, the study authors supported Hawking's cautious stance, claiming that broadcasting Earth's location to other worlds could be a 'tactical mistake.' Prior to his death from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) at the age of 76, Hawking added that humans should also be hesitant about answering any signals sent to Earth. In 2016, Hawking said Gliese 832c, a planet 16 light years away, could be home to intelligent life. However, if we were to meet an advanced civilization, he warned it could turn out similar to when the Native Americans first encountered Christopher Columbus. 'Gazing at the stars, I always imagined there was someone up there looking back', Hawking said during the film titled 'Stephen Hawking's Favorite Places.' 'As I grow older, I am more convinced than ever that we are not alone,' the theoretical physicist continued.

Google Maps users are baffled after spotting a mysterious FACE on a mountain top in Chile - as one claims it could be an 'alien base'
From UFOs buried in the Sahara Desert to mysterious doorways in Antarctica, Google Maps users have made dozens of wild discoveries over the years. But the latest sighting is one of the strangest yet. Eagle–eyed Google Maps users have spotted a mysterious face on a mountain top in Chile. The face is located on a remote island right at the south of the country – and some viewers claim it could be an ' alien base'. Scott C Waring, a UFO hunter who spotted the face, asked: 'Are these aliens? 'The oldest aliens in our universe might be seen as angels or demons with such even god or gods.' While Mr Waring believes this could be an alien base, not everyone is convinced. In fact, scientists say there is a much simpler explanation for this confounding illusion. Mr Waring spotted the face at the coordinates 55°32'35"S, 69°15'56"W while scouring Google Maps. He posted a video to YouTube revealing his finding, and many excited alien hunters were quick to comment. 'I found some in Antarctica I couldn't work out what they were or are at first I thought they were like some sort of digital error or random digital program issue but now I'm starting think your right and these could be like those ancient nasca glyphs but good find mate,' one user commented. Another added: 'This is truly the most significant find to date! Bravo!' And one wrote: 'You are the best. Thank you very much for your efforts.' There's a very good reason why all sorts of geological structures get mistaken for faces or skulls. When faced with a structure containing intricate and varied patterns, the brain turns this noisy, dynamic information into patterns and objects that we can understand. The brain gets this right most of the time, but sometimes certain predispositions cause errors which disturb our perceptions. Dr Robin Kramer, an expert on face perception from the University of Lincoln, told Daily Mail: 'Our face detection system has evolved to be great at detecting faces and it makes more sense to err on the side of caution by occasionally seeing faces where there aren't any, rather than missing faces where there are.' Scientists call this phenomenon pareidolia, which is a bias towards seeing meaningful patterns in inanimate objects. 'Face pareidolia explains why we might see faces in geological structures, as well as pretty much anything else,' Dr Kramer added. Scientists think that we evolved this sensitivity towards faces because it helped our ancestors find friends and spot enemies. For hunter-gatherers, it was better to briefly mistake a bush for your neighbour's animal than miss someone sneaking up on you. Professor Kevin Brooks, a psychologist at Macquarie University, told Daily Mail: 'We tend to classify anything vaguely face-like as a face until proven otherwise – it's safer that way. 'Evolutionary psychologists speculate that we evolved this mechanism to help our survival, and increase our chances of passing on our genes, bringing forth another generation of people who are also good at face detection.' Some people are more sensitive to faces and so might experience more pareidolia in their daily lives. Dr Susan Wardle, a researcher at the National Institutes of Health, told Daily Mail that pareidolia isn't 'usually' a sign of any psychological or neurological issues. However, a high rate of pareidolia might be a sign of someone's bias towards believing in the paranormal. A Finnish study conducted in 2012 found that people with religious or paranormal beliefs were much more likely to see faces in random stimuli. This could explain why alien hunters seem to find faces or patterns in geological features so frequently. Dr Wardle concludes: 'Most people who see faces in things recognise that the faces are not real. 'Issues can arise when people interpret visual patterns to have meaning that they do not, or when they have difficulty distinguishing true perceptions from illusory ones.' WHY DO WE SEE FACES IN INANIMATE OBJECTS? Pareidolia is the psychological response to seeing faces and other significant and everyday items in random stimuli. It is a form of apophenia, when people see patterns in random, unconnected data. There have been multiple occasions when people have claimed to see religious images and themes in unexpected places. On the red planet, one of the most famous is the 'face on Mars' spotted by one of the Viking orbiters in 1976. This was later proven to just be a chance alignment of shifting sand dunes.
