THE BUGA SPHERE: An Alien Warning From the Sky or an Elaborate Art Project?

This Mysterious Metal Orb With Ancient Warning Message Divides Scientists

A metallic sphere falls from Colombian skies bearing cryptic symbols that some claim warn of Earth’s destruction while skeptics call it humanity’s latest UFO hoax.

A metallic sphere crashed through power lines near a small Colombian town in March 2025. The world hasn’t stopped arguing about it since. Some say it moved like nothing built by human hands and carries symbols from no known language. Others call it a well-crafted hoax in an era when creating convincing fakes has never been simpler.

Another Headline for the Buga Sphere

The Buga Sphere just refuses to fade from the headlines. It keeps generating new claims, new conferences, new believers. This despite mounting skepticism, despite comparisons to debunked alien mummies and skinned monkeys presented as extraterrestrial specimens. The latest chapter involves a linguist who says she’s deciphered its message. That message supposedly comes from beings far away in both time and space, warning us to save our planet before a biblical-scale flood swallows it whole.

On March 2, 2025, residents of Buga, Colombia spotted something unusual zigzagging through the sky. A woman named María filmed it, capturing a sphere floating above the city, emitting flashes of green and red lights. Another witness, José, was treasure hunting with a metal detector in the hills when he recorded the same object. The sphere, not much bigger than a basketball, apparently short-circuited after hitting high voltage lines.

Those who touched it described it as cold, like a refrigerator. Some claimed to feel ill afterward. Locals recovered the sphere before authorities could secure the site. What happened next depends entirely on who’s telling the story.

The Message From the Stars

Agnese Sartori claims to have deciphered messages written on the sphere. She completed classical studies in ancient Greek, Latin, literature, philosophy, mythology and art history in Italy, graduating from the University of Bologna in 1979 with honors in Music, Art and Spectacle. She studied under Umberto Eco. Her work spans scenography, theatrical costume history, musical dramaturgy, and semiology of the arts.

Sartori says she painstakingly interpreted each symbol using ancient languages and Sanskrit connections. Her conclusion relates the message to the oldest language spoken on this planet. According to the source material, she stated the symbols convey a warning: humanity has been entrusted with life, creation, universal harmony, everything that the Sun, Moon, stars, and cosmos represent. We possess the ability to either destroy it or save it.

The translation supposedly teases details of a massive flood. Sartori stated there are symbols that can speak of modifications to Earth’s system or the cosmos through events like a flood, noting that many ancient texts reference such catastrophes.

The message may have been delivered because if Earth faces destruction soon, it will create a cascading effect throughout the Solar System. Sartori suggested that humanity’s mistakes could determine whether this planet survives for another century or for 100,000 years. Humans bear responsibility not just for Earth but for the entire cosmos.

Preliminary decoding by Sartori and Mexican-Finnish industrial designer Jaime de Vizcaya identifies the symbols as Proto-Sanskrit script, predating known Sanskrit by thousands of years. The symbols appear to describe a global catastrophe involving massive sea movements, the end of a life cycle, a comet or asteroid impact, and the destruction of one world for a new one, potentially referencing the Younger Dryas period around 12,900 to 11,700 years ago.

What’s Actually Inside

The physical characteristics have fueled speculation from day one. The object weighs anywhere from 16 to 22 pounds, depending on the source and when it was measured. Some researchers claim it has actually gained weight since it crashed, suggesting the use of futuristic gravitational forces to reduce mass during flight.

X-ray scans revealed a three-layered structure made of metal-like materials, with an outer layer as dense as human bone, possibly titanium or steel. The outer surface contains 31 precisely drilled microscopic holes. Initial scans show the object has a central spine made of micro-beads or cylinders arranged like a robot’s esophagus, along with 16 dense nodes clustered internally, possibly some kind of processor or data system.

Microscopic analysis has identified what some describe as complex fiber-optic wiring inside, suggesting the sphere could transmit and receive signals. It contains a central nucleus that experts call a chip, surrounded by 18 micro-spheres and three layers of metal-like material.

The impact site exhibited strange properties. Grass and soil where the sphere landed died off and showed no signs of regrowth. No radiation was detected, leading some experts to theorize that an invisible energy may have extracted all moisture from the surrounding area.

Jose Luis Velasquez, a Colombian radiology specialist, determined extraterrestrial origin after inspecting the object and finding no marks indicating the metal orb had been welded together or contained joined parts in any way.

The Ancient Dating Claim

Perhaps the most explosive claim involves carbon dating results allegedly from the University of Georgia. A report states that organic material found inside the Buga sphere tested at approximately 12,560 years old, predating the pyramids of Egypt by seven millennia.

Dr. Steven Greer’s team discovered traces of natural resin material embedded deep within the 31 microscopic holes. The resin appeared to serve as an anchoring medium for thread-like structures running throughout the sphere’s interior. Scientists at the University of Georgia employed accelerator mass spectrometry to analyze the resin samples.

The age would place the organic material in the Younger Dryas period, a time of dramatic climate change. Critics question potential contamination of resin samples and dating accuracy. Some skeptics suggest the fiber-like structures might be crystalline formations rather than engineered components.

The Skeptics Push Back

Julia Mossbridge, founder and board chair of The Institute for Love and Time and a member of the University of San Diego Department of Physics and Biophysics, told Fox News Digital she remains skeptical of its extraterrestrial origins. It looks to her like a really cool art project. She urged caution in drawing immediate conclusions.

Mossbridge explained that while she thinks the Buga Sphere is an art piece and not a UAP, the object has allowed for more conversation surrounding the phenomena. She cautioned that it could discredit actual UAP investigations.

Mossbridge urged thorough vetting before declaring anomalies in mysterious discoveries. She suggested experts should bring the object to groups like the Galileo Project to determine if the material is clearly non-human-made.

A fact-checking website states there’s zero credible evidence that Colombia has discovered any alien technology. No reputable scientific institution, government agency, or news outlet has verified existence of the Buga sphere. All reports trace back to sensational social media posts and conspiracy websites.

The debate has gained momentum online. Skeptics ask whether the orb could be a prop, a sculpture, or even part of a viral marketing stunt.

Analysis performed on the sphere determined it is an aluminum alloy with a hardness of 330, which is higher than the aerospace hardness of 170. The material is not currently available for commercial use with the level of hardness shown by the Buga sphere. Yet skeptics wonder whether such hardness levels might indicate advanced terrestrial manufacturing rather than extraterrestrial origin.

The Maussan Problem

The Buga Sphere’s credibility suffers significantly from its association with Jaime Maussan, a Mexican journalist and UFO researcher with a lengthy track record of promoting debunked alien discoveries.

In 2015, Maussan led an event where a mummified body claimed to be an alien child was unveiled. The mummified corpse was later identified as a human child. In 2017, Maussan appeared in a video where a mummified body supposedly discovered in Peru near the Nazca lines claimed to be a three-fingered alien was unveiled. A 2017 report by the Peruvian prosecutor’s office stated that supposed alien bodies promoted by Maussan were actually recently manufactured dolls covered with a mixture of paper and synthetic glue to simulate the presence of skin.

On September 12, 2023, Maussan unveiled two allegedly nonhuman beings to Mexico’s first Congress of the Union public hearing regarding UFOs. He claimed these were mummified corpses found in a diatom mine in Cusco, Peru near Nazca, believed to be more than 1,000 years old. Forensic archaeologist Flavio Estrada, who examined the specimens for the prosecutor’s office of Peru, said they are not extraterrestrials, they are not intraterrestrials, they are not a new species, they are not hybrids. The humanoid dolls consisted of animal and human bones assembled with modern synthetic glue.

Maussan was also involved in publicizing a specimen dubbed Metepec Creature, which later turned out to be a skinned monkey, as well as a Demon Fairy in 2016.

Julieta Fierro, a physics researcher at UNAM, stated that the university never endorsed Maussan’s claims and that his data made no sense. UNAM republished their September 2017 statement specifying that they did not make any conclusion as to the origins of a sample sent to them for carbon-14 testing.

David Vélez, one of the initial investigators, made arrangements to turn over the sphere for scientific study to Maussan, who flew to Colombia to retrieve and place it in a guarded safe inside his office complex. In June 2025, Maussan called a press conference attended by Mexican scientists, U.S. Representative Eric Burlison, Dr. Steven Greer of the Disclosure Project, and attorney Daniel Sheehan.

Dr. Steven Greer revealed on X that fake policemen attempted to enter the vault in Mexico City where the suspected UFO is being kept while scientists examine it. No confirmation of these claims exists beyond Maussan’s circle.

The Believers Make Their Case

Despite the skepticism, prominent figures in UFO research have thrown their weight behind the Buga Sphere’s authenticity.

Dr. Steven Greer, founder of the Disclosure Project, has become one of the sphere’s most vocal advocates. Greer proposes electrogravitic fields that might indicate anti-gravity propulsion or data transmission. Greer interviewed Don José Rompo in Mexico City on June 21, 2025 for a forthcoming documentary.

UFO researchers like Jaime Maussan argue the sphere could be extraterrestrial in origin, citing its unexplained structure and alien-like features. Preliminary X-ray and tomography remain ongoing.

Show host Jack Osbourne, who reportedly featured the sphere’s analysis in programming, stated he was determined to prove that intelligent creatures occupying planets have connected to Earth and humanity.

Australian documentary filmmaker Serene DC described the sphere’s arrival on Earth as a pivotal moment in human discovery. She noted that if the translation is accurate, it speaks of cosmic beginnings, of cycles of creation and destruction, and of a solar event that divides worlds. She acknowledged uncertainty about whether this represents poetry, prophecy, or a record of something that truly happened long ago. Further metallurgical analysis is underway with teams from several laboratories studying the sphere’s precise alloy composition to determine whether these metals are of earthly origin or something else entirely.

David Vélez revealed that people have sent him videos of ten different spheres from all over Colombia, suggesting a potential pattern of sightings rather than an isolated incident.

Similar metallic orbs have been spotted worldwide. A U.S. Air Force drone captured one over Iraq in 2023. Glowing orbs were filmed by a passenger on a commercial flight in 2024. NASA’s 2023 UFO study noted a surge in orb sightings at high altitudes, often exhibiting flight patterns that defy physics.

The Disclosure Project Connection

The involvement of Dr. Steven Greer adds another layer of complexity to the story. Gaia streaming service featured a special report titled Inside the Buga Sphere with guest host Josh Golembeske covering what was described as a historic moment.

The June 2025 conference represents something unprecedented in UFO history: citizens retaining control of anomalous technology long enough for independent scientific analysis. The results suggest manufacturing techniques beyond current human capability integrated with what appears to be functional technology.

Critics point to Greer’s history of making extraordinary claims about secret government technologies and alien contact. Greer runs the Disclosure Project, pushing for UFO reveals, but critics say he mixes facts with fiction for gain. Greer hypothesized the sphere as Atlantean tech activated now.

Physical Anomalies or Measurement Errors?

The sphere’s changing weight has fascinated believers and puzzled skeptics. The sphere, roughly 20 inches in diameter and weighing about 4.5 pounds initially, reportedly changed weight to 10 pounds on a calibrated scale. Some researchers interpret this as evidence of anti-gravity propulsion systems shutting down after the crash.

Scientists claim the sphere is growing in weight though not in size and can apparently also levitate. No verified video of levitation has emerged in controlled laboratory conditions.

When cold water is poured on the sphere, steam rises, suggesting internal heat, energy storage, or a reaction not yet understood. This thermal behavior doesn’t match what would be expected from an inert metal object that crashed months earlier.

Critics counter that weight variations could result from measurement errors, moisture absorption, or oxidation. The reported lack of radiation might simply indicate the sphere is exactly what skeptics claim: an elaborate art project or hoax constructed from terrestrial materials.

The Translation Controversy

The interpretation of the sphere’s symbols remains highly contentious. While Sartori claims to have deciphered a coherent warning message, some AI-driven pattern recognition efforts interpret the symbols as non-linguistic, proposing they form a celestial map or energy diagram.

The engravings reportedly emit specific frequency and cosmic energy patterns, a concept echoed in live-streamed analysis where the sphere’s reactions to 190-300 Hz and ancient mantras were said to unlock its latent properties. While these translations remain speculative, they paint a picture of an object designed to communicate or activate under precise conditions.

The problem with symbol interpretation becomes obvious when different researchers produce wildly different translations. Some see warnings about floods and cosmic catastrophes. Others detect references to consciousness expansion and universal unity. Still others claim the symbols spell out artificial intelligence in a cryptic alphabet.

Without a Rosetta Stone equivalent, without any independent verification of the translation methodology, the messages supposedly encoded on the sphere remain firmly in the realm of speculation. Each interpreter brings their own expectations and biases to the symbols, potentially seeing what they hope to find rather than what actually exists.

The Art Project Theory

Cognitive neuroscientist and researcher of UFOs/UAPs Dr. Julia Mossbridge suggested that artists may be imitating alien aesthetics intentionally. She explained that 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.

The possibility that the Buga Sphere represents high-level artistic expression rather than extraterrestrial technology doesn’t diminish its cultural significance. If someone created this object as art, they succeeded in generating global conversation about humanity’s relationship with the cosmos, our environmental responsibilities, and our readiness for contact with other intelligent species.

Initial X-rays of the sphere could not reveal how the object was built. There is little evidence linking the metal orb to that of the flying object seen in videos posted on social media. This disconnect between the crashed object and the sphere now under study raises obvious questions about whether researchers are even examining the same object that fell from the sky.

The Pattern of UFO Controversies

The Buga Sphere fits neatly into a pattern of UFO controversies that generate intense initial excitement followed by mounting skepticism. Journalists and researchers compare this incident to other famous UFO encounters, such as the 2004 Tic-Tac phenomenon and the 1967 Malmstrom Base case.

Despite the extraordinary features, some analysts warn of parallels with the Peru alien mummies scandal, a claim later debunked as fake figurines made of bone and synthetic materials.

The Buga Sphere story contains all the elements that typically accompany dubious alien claims: dramatic discovery by civilians, resistance to official investigation, association with controversial UFO researchers, conflicting scientific analysis, extraordinary claims about ancient technology, and a narrative that plays into existing beliefs about government cover-ups and suppressed knowledge.

Believers argue these same elements could equally indicate a genuine anomaly that threatens established paradigms. Mainstream science’s dismissal might reflect institutional bias rather than objective analysis. The involvement of controversial figures might simply mean that only those willing to risk their reputations dare investigate potentially paradigm-shifting discoveries.

Where Does This Leave Us?

The UFO sphere in Colombia stands out because it’s a physical object available for study, unlike most sightings that vanish without a trace. This represents both its greatest strength and its most glaring weakness.

If the Buga Sphere is genuinely anomalous, physical examination should eventually provide definitive answers about its composition, age, and manufacturing techniques. Metallurgical analysis can determine whether the alloys match anything produced on Earth. Structural examination can reveal whether the internal architecture follows known engineering principles or represents something entirely novel.

If the sphere is a hoax or art project, that too should become apparent through rigorous testing. Modern materials that science can identify such synthetic adhesives, detect recent manufacturing marks invisible to the naked eye, and determine whether supposedly ancient organic materials show signs of artificial aging.

The tragedy of the Buga Sphere controversy lies in its current limbo state. The sphere remains in Maussan’s control rather than in the hands of a major research institution with the resources and credibility to conduct definitive analysis. The carbon dating allegedly performed at the University of Georgia has not been published in peer-reviewed literature. The symbol translations come from individuals with apparent conflicts of interest in proving the sphere’s anomalous nature.

As tests progress, the world watches. Will this object prove to be a breakthrough in understanding extraterrestrial life or a cleverly crafted mystery?

This discovery taps into humanity’s timeless fascination with the unknown. It challenges assumptions about technology, consciousness, and our place in the universe. Whether it’s an alien probe, an advanced human creation, or something else entirely, it forces examination of the limits of current knowledge.

The Buga Sphere refuses to stay out of headlines because it represents something larger than itself. It embodies humanity’s desperate hope that we’re not alone in the universe, our fear that we’re destroying our only home, and our uncertainty about whether we can trust the authorities who claim to protect us. Sartori’s translation about saving or destroying our world resonates regardless of whether alien beings actually sent the message. Many already believe Earth faces environmental catastrophe. We already understand that our choices today determine whether future generations inherit a habitable planet.

Perhaps the real message of the Buga Sphere has nothing to do with ancient floods or cosmic warnings. Perhaps it simply holds up a mirror showing humanity exactly what we want to see: proof that someone out there cares about what happens to us, evidence that our existence matters on a cosmic scale, and hope that we might still have time to change our trajectory before it’s too late.

Whether that mirror reflects alien intelligence or human psychology remains the question that keeps the Buga Sphere in our headlines, our conversations, and our collective imagination.
