A metallic sphere discovered in Colombia is at the centre of renewed UFO debate after it was spotted flying over Buga on March 2 and later recovered.
Researchers examining the object say it displays no visible welds or joints and contains layered metals and internal microspheres.
Jose Luis Velazquez, one of the scientists studying the sphere, described it as “a very rare piece” and noted mysterious symbols etched into its surface. An X-ray scan revealed three distinct metal layers and nine internal microspheres, further fuelling speculation over its origin.
Julia Mossbridge of the University of San Diego expressed scepticism, calling it possibly “a really cool art project.” She emphasised the need for independent scientific analysis before labelling such objects as UFOs, referencing the Galileo Project as a model for objective research.
Mossbridge added that society’s increasing encounters with the unexplained reflect broader changes in understanding, stating, “We don’t understand what’s in our skies or our waters… and there’s something going on that’s essentially bigger than us.”
While debate continues, both scientific and public interest in unidentified aerial phenomena remains high. Mossbridge urged cooperation between nations and non-governmental research groups to approach such cases with transparency and scientific rigour.
This incident adds to a growing catalogue of global UAP sightings under review by researchers outside traditional government frameworks.
