Which Chicago skyscraper observation deck is better? We visited both
The news helicopter hovering over the Chicago Loop was right at eye level. That's what my family of four noticed right away as we stepped out onto the 1,353-foot-high glass balcony jutting out from the Willis Tower, the city's tallest skyscraper. Then we looked down. Through the 1.5-inch laminated glass panel floor beneath our feet, we could see tiny boats cruising along the Chicago River and traffic backing up on Wacker Drive. The experience - called the Ledge at Skydeck Chicago - was an unexpected highlight during a recent family getaway. So was our time spent across town at the 94th-floor 360 Chicago, which has its own patented thrill experience: a row of moving glass ledges called TILT. When planning our five-day visit to Chicago, we didn't necessarily expect to make a stop at one, let alone two, of the city's sky-high observatories. It was our kids' first visit to the Windy City. We knew Millennium Park and its Bean sculpture (officially named Cloud Gate and now reopened after plaza renovations) was a must-stop, along with a few other recommended attractions and restaurants. And we tried to narrow down which of Chicago's fabulous array of museums our 8- and 10-year-old would like best. But once we decided to try to save on admission by getting CityPASS Chicago tickets ($142 for adults and $112 for kids), we added an elevator ride at the Willis Tower to the itinerary. That's because every CityPASS includes upfront admission to Skydeck Chicago, as well as the Shedd Aquarium. It also allowed us to pick three more from a list of six top attractions like the Field Museum, the Adler Planetarium and an architecture river tour. The passes, which I easily accessed through the CityPASS app, are usable for up to nine days. We had a great time at the aquarium, and for the other stops we chose the Art Institute of Chicago, the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry and - at our kids' request - the 360 Chicago observation deck at 875 North Michigan Avenue (often still referred to as the John Hancock Center). Last year, 360 Chicago updated its viewing platform and adjacent CloudBar cocktail lounge with floor and window murals and decor by area artists. The observatory also renovated and added art installations to the entry concourse that we walked through to get to the elevators. ____________ Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

UFO Sphere Colombia: Scientists perplexed at object found, with no human welds or joints
Listen to article Scientists are examining a mysterious metallic sphere recovered in Colombia, believed by some to be an unidentified flying object (UFO). The item was first seen flying over the town of Buga in early March before being recovered by local researchers. Jose Luis Velazquez, a scientist involved in the investigation, described the object as having no visible welds or joints, an unusual characteristic that has raised questions about its origin. He added that mysterious carvings were etched into its surface. 'It's a very rare piece,' Velazquez said in a video shared online. 'I've never seen a piece like this.' Initial scans using X-ray imaging revealed that the sphere comprises three layers of metal, as well as nine smaller 'microspheres' inside. While no definitive explanation has been offered, Velazquez's team continues to study the object. However, some experts remain cautious. Dr Julia Mossbridge, a physicist from the University of San Diego and founder of The Institute for Love and Time (TILT), said she believed the item could be a sophisticated art project. 'Before you decide something's anomalous or a UFO, bring the object to a group like the Galileo Project,' Mossbridge said, referring to the research initiative led by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb that investigates unidentified aerial phenomena using scientific methods. Mossbridge noted that such discoveries might reflect societal anxieties more than alien encounters. 'We're entering a time when we don't have the control that we thought we had,' she said. 'If an artist is doing this, why is that? I think it's because we're learning we don't fully understand what's in our skies or waters.' While sceptical of the Colombian sphere, Mossbridge does not discount all reports of anomalous phenomena. 'The federal government has admitted that there are things we don't understand, but we are investigating them,' she added. She also highlighted the need for international, non-governmental research into these phenomena. 'The sphere in Colombia is in a different country. So what are the rules about how we deal with something interesting found there?' In a separate statement, Mossbridge urged a measured response to the unknown. 'The natural human response to the unknown is fear,' she said. 'But we need to recognise that understanding and exploration — not fear — are what keep us safe.'

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.'
