A mysterious metallic sphere that was recovered after flying through the air in Colombia has left scientists baffled, with many speculating it’s a UFO.
The bizarre sphere was recorded flying over the town of Buga in the western part of the country in March before landing and being confiscated, according to X user Truthpolex.
The orb — which reportedly weighed about 4.5 pounds and was cold to the touch when found — had etched into it a series of ancient-looking symbols, including runes and characters from the Ogham and Mesopotamian writing systems.
Locals claim that the object is of alien origin, and even researchers admit they can’t say where it came from.

The sphere has “no welds or joints,” which would typically indicate it was made by humans, according to Dr. Jose Luis Velazquez, a radiologist hired to examine the sphere.
“It is of artificial origin in that it shows no evidence of welding, and its internal structure is composed of high-density elements. More testing is needed to establish its origin,” Dr Velazquez said in video shared on X.
Scientists used AI to decipher what they believe its symbols mean.
“The origin of birth through union and energy in the cycle of transformation, meeting point of unity, expansion, and consciousness — individual consciousness,” the message purportedly reads.
The research team studying the org said, “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.”
The object was spotted zipping through the sky, defying the movement of a traditional aircraft, said a member of the research team, David Velez el Potro, to Maussan Television, speaking to controversial journalist and ufologist Jaime Massan.
No official reports or scientific analyses have yet confirmed the claims that a metallic sphere fell over Buga, but multiple eyewitness reports have been made.
Maussan previously sparked debate after making unconfirmed claims that he had discovered alien mummies in Peru.
One of the men who found the sphere, named only as Jose, felt sick for days after touching the orb, el Potro said.
“When I poured water on it, it started to smoke, and the water vaporized instantly,” he added.
Maussan’s team found that the sphere had irregular edges, “indicating that it is a solid object,” he said.
It had a denser outer layer, close to the density of human bone, according to researchers.
X-rays also revealed 18 small dots within the orb, arranged in a pattern.
They believe these small spheres may have been placed inside the object before it was sealed, although the lack of any visible signs of assembly in X-rays make this all the more puzzling.
