A shiny metal sphere recently landed in Buga, Colombia, and it’s got people all over the world talking. Locals first noticed the object flying oddly through the sky in March 2025. After it hit the ground, they discovered it was a solid ball of metal — about 4.5 pounds in weight — that felt cold to the touch. Since then, scientists and curious observers have been trying to figure out exactly what it is.
What Makes This Sphere So Mysterious?
This isn’t just any piece of metal. What really caught people’s attention is how perfectly smooth it is. There are no seams, no welds, and no signs of how it was put together. Even weirder — it’s covered with strange symbols. Some of them look like ancient runes, while others resemble writing from very old cultures like the Mesopotamians or the Ogham script.
Doctors and scientists from Colombia who studied it used X-rays and found three layers of metal inside, along with nine smaller metal balls packed in the center. Dr. José Luis Velázquez, one of the experts who examined the object, said he’s never seen anything like it before. “It’s not something you can easily explain,” he added.
Could It Be From Space — Or Just a Clever Hoax?
Now, people are asking the big question: is it from Earth, or not? Some believe it could be part of a satellite or space junk. Others think it might be a very creative art piece made to look mysterious. But there’s also a group of believers who say this could be real evidence of alien technology.
Not everyone agrees. Julia Mossbridge, a cognitive scientist from the University of San Diego, says she’s doubtful it’s from another planet. But she agrees the object is strange enough to be studied carefully and suggests it be reviewed by projects like the Galileo Project — a science team that looks at unexplained space-related findings.
What Happens Next?
Right now, the metal sphere is still being examined. Experts are doing more tests to learn about what it’s made of, how old it is, and whether there’s any trace of where it might’ve come from. The hope is that more detailed analysis will give some clear answers.
For now, the mystery is still unsolved, and it's got a lot of people — from UFO fans to scientists — paying close attention
