Scientists investigate mysterious Metal Sphere in Colombia, Suspected to be UFO
Found in a Colombian field and sparking global curiosity, this unexplained metal sphere has scientists debating: is it alien tech, a masterful hoax, or a message from beyond?

A mysterious metallic sphere was flying over Buga, Colombia in March 2025. Later on, the object was retrieved in the area, this set off intrigue and speculation throughout the community. Scientists and including radiologist Dr. José Luis Velázquez are researching the metal sphere, that weighs about 4.5 pounds and is cool to the touch. The sphere's unusual characteristics has led the scientist to believe the origins of the sphere could be extraterrestrial.
An interesting aspect of the sphere is that it has absolutely zero seams. Dr. Velázquez noted that the sphere has apparently "no welds or joints" that may indicate human manufacturing. Having no welds also caused scientists to suggest that the sphere may not have an earthly origin. The sphere also contains a series of unknown symbols etched into its surface, which include runes and scribbles that appear similar to Ogham and Mesopotamian character sets.

Radiographic examinations of the sphere found a thicker outer shell had 18 small dots internal to the outer layer, and the dots formed a pattern. With all the contents in the sphere found intact, there was no evidence of assembly in the X-ray. Therefore, appropriating the sphere became more complex. The use of AI on the inscriptions came up with a message that could be articulated as a prompt for increased human awareness and environmental awareness. This leads to speculation about the sphere's purpose and its origin.
Eyewitness reports detail strange, erratic flight patterns that don't resemble any known aircraft that existed before recovery. These events have caused some to argue that the sphere could be debris from a space object or a UFO, as eyewitnesses had described interaction with objects in space before recovery. While theories abound, others have suggested that the sphere could be a sophisticated art piece or simply a hoax. Regardless of the meaning, generating plausible instantaneous explanations for the public has drawn considerable interest and controversy.

According to physicist Julia Mossbridge, it could be an art project and stressed the need for more research on whether it is an art project or something else. Authorities in Colombia are investigating the sphere to find out what it is made of and where it is from. For now, the sphere has startled and intrigued both scientists and the general public as it landed quite suddenly.
For now, the mysterious sphere remains a mystery. If the object is a piece of technology from an alien civilization, or if this is an elaborate hoax, or if it is an art installation, the appearance of the sphere has fascinated many. The current exploration of the site's history seeks to understand the origins and purpose of the object. Each of the hypotheses puts the object into a category of designated meaning. For now, the mysterious object endures as a reminder of our mysteries on earth awaiting discovery.
