The Buga Orb, also referred to as the Buga Sphere, is a metallic, spherical object discovered in Buga, Colombia, in March 2025, which has sparked widespread speculation and debate. Eyewitnesses reported seeing it move erratically through the sky before it landed in a field, exhibiting behavior unlike conventional aircraft. Described as seamless, roughly the size of a basketball or bowling ball, and weighing around 4.5 pounds initially, the orb is made of a high-grade metal alloy, possibly containing aluminum, copper, iron, zinc, and manganese. Its surface reportedly features enigmatic symbols resembling ancient scripts like runes, Ogham, or cuneiform, though their exact meaning remains unclear, with some interpretations suggesting themes of unity or environmental warnings.
Scientific analyses, including X-ray scans by radiologist Dr. Jose Luis Velasquez, revealed a complex internal structure with three concentric layers, 18 smaller microspheres, and a central "chip" or nucleus, suggesting advanced engineering beyond current human capabilities. Additional claims include thermal anomalies (cold to the touch yet causing water to evaporate), variable weight, and low-level radiation emissions. The orb was later transferred to the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) for further study, with controversial ufologist Jaime Maussan involved, fueling both intrigue and skepticism.
