Can Colombia's UFO sphere also turn out to be a hoax after Peru's ‘alien mummies' turned out to be dolls made from bones?
Strange sphere in Colombia rekindles UFO curiosity, but is it real?
When a metallic sphere crashed near Buga, Colombia, earlier in March, 2025, it didn't just land in the dirt, it landed in the middle of a global debate. With mysterious carvings, no visible welds, and nine internal 'microspheres' revealed by X-ray scans, the object has captured the attention of UFO researchers and believers alike.
Jose Luis Velazquez
, one of the Colombian scientists studying the sphere, seemed genuinely astonished. He described it as having 'no welds or joints,' typically a clear marker of human construction. Even more intriguing, Velazquez said the sphere's interior consists of three metal layers and nine embedded microspheres, features unlike anything he had encountered before. 'It is a very rare piece … I've never seen a piece like this,' he remarked.

The unusual find has drawn eerie comparisons to another so-called alien discovery, one that recently unraveled into something far more Earth-bound.
Peru's alien mummies were really handmade dolls
More than a year ago, international headlines were buzzing about a pair of 'alien mummies' discovered in Peru. The small humanoid figures were showcased at a congressional hearing in Mexico and claimed to be around 1,000 years old. But hopes of extraterrestrial contact quickly crumbled.

In a press conference held by Peru's culture ministry, experts revealed that the dolls were made using animal bones and modern synthetic glue. 'They're not extraterrestrials. They're dolls made from animal bones from this planet joined together with modern synthetic glue,' said Flavio Estrada, an archaeologist with Peru's Institute for Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences.
The bizarre figures had arrived mysteriously in a cardboard box at a DHL airport office in Lima, dressed in traditional Andean attire. Estrada dismissed the story as a complete fabrication. 'It's totally a made-up story,' he said. While some speculated the dolls were linked to those displayed in Mexico, experts firmly denied any extraterrestrial connection.

The Peru hoax now casts a long shadow over similar discoveries, including Colombia's sphere.
Experts urge scientific rigor over speculation
Julia Mossbridge
, a physicist from the University of San Diego and founder of The Institute for Love and Time, is urging restraint before anyone labels the Colombian artifact as alien. 'It looks to me like a really cool art project,' she told Fox News.
Mossbridge emphasized the importance of involving credible scientific organizations like the
Galileo Project
, an international initiative led by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, which investigates potential alien artifacts through rigorous research. 'Before you decide something's anomalous or a UFO, bring the object to a group like the Galileo Project,' she advised.
Beyond the object itself, Mossbridge believes the fascination with UFO artifacts says more about us than the skies above. 'We are entering a time when we don't have the control that we thought we had,' she said, suggesting that artistic hoaxes might be reflecting deeper social uncertainty.
'Frankly, we've been looking at UAPs for decades, and the federal government has admitted that there are things that we don't understand,' she added. Mossbridge supports independent, non-governmental research efforts like the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies to help the public better understand what is happening 'in our skies' and 'in our waters.'

In a statement to PEOPLE, Mossbridge reflected on the psychological response to such events. 'The natural human response to the unknown is fear,' she said. 'But we need to start noticing that fear doesn't actually keep us safe. What keeps us safe is the willingness to understand and explore.'
