Scientists reveal truth behind 'UFO' seen in major city with 'cryptic message'
Scientists have weighed in on a sphere-shaped object dubbed by some to be a UFO with a cryptic message to humanity. 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.

Scientists Are Studying a Mysterious Metal Sphere They Believe to Be a UFO: 'I've Never Seen a Piece Like This'
Scientists are currently studying a mysterious sphere that they believe to be an unidentified flying object (UFO) The metal item was initially spotted flying over Buga, Colombia, on March 2 The sphere also appears to have mysterious symbols carved on its surface, one of the researchers studying the sphere saidScientists are currently studying a mysterious sphere that they believe to be an unidentified flying object (UFO). The metal item was initially spotted flying over Buga, Colombia, on March 2, before later being recovered in the area, according to a video from scientists that was shared online. Jose Luis Velazquez, one of the researchers studying the sphere, said the mysterious object appears to have "no welds or joints' — both of which would typically indicate human manufacturing. The sphere also appears to have mysterious symbols carved on its surface, he added. Velazquez and his team said they used an X-ray on the object and found that it consists of three layers of metal, along with nine 'microspheres' in the interior. 'It is a very rare piece … I've never seen a piece like this,' Velazquez said. Julia Mossbridge — a member of the University of San Diego Department of Physics and Biophysics, and the founder of The Institute for Love and Time (TILT) — told Fox News that she is skeptical of the sphere's origins. "It looks to me like a really cool art project," she told the outlet. "Before you decide something's anomalous or a UFO, bring the object to a group like the Galileo Project," Mossbridge continued, referring to the international research project founded by Harvard University astrophysicist Avi Loeb, which aims to vet and study potential extraterrestrial artifacts through rigorous scientific research. The researcher added that similar findings might say more about the current state of humanity than about the universe at large. 'We are entering a time when we don't have the control that we thought we had," she told Fox News. '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.' And while Mossbridge is skeptical of the recent find in Colombia, she doesn't necessarily believe that all UFO sightings or artifacts are a hoax. 'Frankly, we've been looking at UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomena) for decades, and the federal government has admitted that there are things that we don't understand, but we are investigating them,' she said. Mossbridge also stressed the importance of using non-governmental, non-partisan research groups like the Galileo Project and the Scientific Coalition for UAP studies. 'They are all trying to get rigorous information themselves, not necessarily waiting on the federal government, about what's going on in our skies, what's going on in our waters, and actually trying to get international cooperation around these things,' she said. 'Because, for instance, the sphere in Colombia is in a different country. So, what are the rules about how we deal with something that's interesting that's found there?' added Mossbridge. In a statement to PEOPLE, Mossbridge also said: "The natural human response to the unknown is fear. 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 what is really going on — and to react appropriately to what we discover." "That willingness is supported by self-transcendence, the ability to look beyond ourselves and recognize that there are things that are bigger than us," she continued.

Mysterious sphere found in Buga, Colombia sparks UFO speculation
A strange metallic sphere discovered in Buga, Colombia, has reignited public interest in UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). The object, retrieved on March 2, has prompted both excitement and caution among researchers and skeptics alike. The object, first reported by social media page @Truthpolex, was seen flying before it landed in the Colombian town. Witnesses described it as a smooth, metallic orb with no visible welds or joints. Observers noted that it consists of three concentric layers, and inside are 18 micro-spheres arranged around a dense central core. The sphere has no welds or joints. Weighing approximately 4.5 pounds and unusually cold to the touch, the orb also bears markings that resemble ancient writing systems, including runes, Ogham, and Mesopotamian scripts, further deepening the mystery. While the object's design and discovery have led to UFO speculation, scientists like Julia Mossbridge, founder of The Institute for Love and Time (TILT) and a physicist at the University of San Diego, are urging restraint. 'It looks to me like a really cool art project,' Mossbridge told Fox News Digital. 'We are entering a time when we don't have the control that we thought we had.' She said that jumping to conclusions about alien origins reflects humanity's difficulty in accepting uncertainty. 'Something shows up that doesn't fit our model of the world, and we immediately want to label it,' she added. Mossbridge places the Colombian sphere in a broader global context, highlighting the ongoing interest and investigation into UAPs. 'Frankly, we've been looking at UAPs for decades,' she said. 'The federal government has admitted there are things that we don't understand, but we are investigating them.' Groups like the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies, the UAP Disclosure Fund, and the Galileo Project are spearheading independent scientific inquiries. 'They are all trying to get rigorous information themselves, not necessarily waiting on the federal government,' Mossbridge said. 'And they're looking for international cooperation. Because, for instance, the sphere in Colombia is in a different country. So, what are the rules about how we deal with something that's interesting that's found there?' Before assuming extraterrestrial origins, Mossbridge strongly recommends that such objects undergo scientific vetting. 'Bring the object to a group like the Galileo Project,' she said. 'Experts can determine if the material is clearly non-human-made.' While skeptical of this particular find, Mossbridge emphasised that it doesn't invalidate the broader phenomenon. Despite her doubts about the Buga sphere, she emphasised that it doesn't discount all the other objects that are of extraterrestrial origin.'
