Aliens and UFOs have long been staples of pop culture, but in recent years, they’ve once again taken center stage—this time fueled by government disclosures and whistleblower revelations that have reignited public fascination.
American media has also reported a concerning spike in drone sightings and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) over the past year. Despite decades of reports and speculation, physical evidence has remained elusive—until now. A recent incident in Colombia may mark a turning point.
Strange Object Falls from the Sky in Colombia
In March 2025, residents of Buga, Colombia, reported seeing a spherical object streaking across the sky in an erratic, unnatural flight pattern. According to multiple eyewitnesses, the UFO eventually descended into a nearby rural area. On March 2nd, a group of locals claimed to have recovered the mysterious sphere, describing it as metallic, weighing roughly 4.5 pounds, and “ice-cold to the touch.”
The Story Reaches Controversial TV Spotlight
One of the individuals involved in the recovery, David Velez—also known as “El Potro”—shared the find on Maussan Television, hosted by controversial journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan. Maussan gained international attention in 2017 for claims involving “alien mummies” in Peru—claims that remain unverified. Given Maussan’s reputation, skeptics have been quick to question the authenticity of this latest story. Still, El Potro insists the object is genuine and was recovered exactly as described.
Unusual Reactions and Strange Behavior
El Potro also claimed the man who first handled the sphere fell ill for several days afterward. Even more bizarre, when water was poured onto the object, it reportedly vaporized on contact—despite the exterior being cold. This suggested an unusual thermal dynamic, possibly indicating an extremely hot interior sealed within a cold metallic shell.
Government Shows Interest
According to El Potro, authorities later contacted him and requested that he hand over the object. Fearing it would be taken and never seen again, he refused and instead turned it over to Maussan’s team for analysis, hoping independent investigators might uncover its origin and purpose.
Initial Analysis Reveals Complex Structure
Early examinations revealed that the sphere had a dense outer shell with jagged edges—hinting at solid, deliberate construction. Researcher Nacho Rojo noted, “The sphere’s core exhibits lower radio-acoustic density than its outer shell, possibly indicating a porous or lightweight inner material.” The object is suspected to be composed of high-strength materials like steel or titanium, but a complete material analysis is still pending.
X-Ray Reveals Possible Advanced Engineering
X-ray scans uncovered 18 small internal components arranged in a symmetric pattern. These could be sensors, microsphere fragments, or bolts. Rojo explained, “We don’t know what they’re made of or how they were placed, but their uniform layout suggests intelligent design.” The team dubbed this configuration a “chip” due to its apparent technological sophistication.
The Object Remains Intact
Researchers confirmed that the object shows no signs of external damage, and a central band made from a different material suggests intentional layering. Radiologist Dr. José Luis Velazquez stated, “The sphere appears artificial, showing no weld marks, and contains densely packed internal elements.” More tests are needed to determine its true origin.
Mysterious Symbols and Possible Message to Humanity
The object also bears cryptic symbols etched onto its surface. The research team compared them to ancient scripts like Mesopotamian cuneiform and Norse runes. Using AI tools, the team interpreted the message as:
“The origin of birth through union and energy in the cycle of transformation, meeting point of unity, expansion, and consciousness—individual consciousness.”
The researchers believe it could be a philosophical or metaphysical message aimed at humanity, possibly encouraging a shift in collective awareness.
Reporting UFOs in the U.S.
For those in the U.S. who encounter a UFO or UAP, reports can be submitted to reputable organizations like the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) and the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). The Department of Defense has also launched the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) to examine such incidents officially.
The Verdict: Hoax or Hidden Truth?
The mysterious sphere recovered in Colombia remains an unsolved enigma. Its strange behavior, internal complexity, and symbolic engravings continue to baffle researchers.
Whether it’s advanced technology, a misunderstood natural phenomenon, or something else entirely, this spherical UFO continues to spark debate—and fascination.
