Speaker 1 (00:11):
I'm Darren Marler, and this is weird dark news. A
metallic sphere crashed through power lines near a small Columbian
town in March twenty twenty five. The world has not
stopped arguing about it since. Some say it moved like nothing,
built by human hands, and carry symbols from no known language.
Others call it a well crafted hoax. In an era

(00:33):
when creating convincing fakes has never been simpler, the Bugisphear
just refuses to fade from the headlines. It keeps generating
new claims, new conferences, new believers, this despite mounting skepticism,
despite comparisons to debunked alien mummies and skinned monkeys presented
as extraterrestrial specimens. The latest chapter involves a linguist who

(00:57):
says that she's the cipher dis message. That message supposedly
comes from beings far away in both time and space,
warning us to save our planet before a biblical scale
flood swallows it whole. On March second, twenty twenty five,
residents of Buga, Columbia, spotted something unusual zigzagging through the sky.
A woman named Maria filmed it, capturing a sphere floating

(01:20):
above the city emitting flashes of green and red lights.
Another witness, Jose, was treasure hunting with a metal detector
in the hills when he recorded the same object. The sphere,
not much bigger than a basketball, apparently short circuited after
hitting some high voltage lines. Those who touched it described
it as cold, like a refrigerator. Some claimed to feel

(01:42):
ill afterward. Locals recover the sphere before authorities could secure
the site. What happened next depends entirely on who's telling
the story. Agnes sir Tory claims to have deciphered messages
written on the sphere. She completed classical studies in Ancient Greek, Latin,
lit literricher, philosophy, mythology, and art history in Italy, graduating

(02:04):
from the University of Bologna in nineteen seventy nine with
honors in Music, art and spectacle. She studied under Umberto
Eco her Workspand's Scenography, Theatrical costume History, musical dramaturgy and
Semiology of the Arts. Sartori says she painstakingly interpreted each
symbol using ancient languages and Sanskrit connections. Her conclusion relates

(02:26):
the message to the oldest language spoken on the planet.
According to the source material, She stated, the symbols convey
a warning. Humanity has been entrusted with life, creation, universal harmony,
everything that the Sun, moon, stars, and cosmos represent. We
possess the ability to either destroy it or save it.
The translation supposedly teases details of a massive flood. Sartori

(02:50):
stated there are symbols that can speak of modifications to
Earth's system or the cosmos through events like a flood,
noting that many ancient texts reference such astrophes. The message
may have been delivered because if Earth faces destruction soon,
it'll create a cascading effect throughout the Solar System. Sartore
suggested that humanity's mistakes could determine whether this planet survives

(03:14):
for another century or for one hundred thousand years. Humans
bear responsibility not just for Earth, but for the entire cosmos.
Preliminary decoding by Sartorre and Mexican Finnish industrial designer Jaime
di vis Kaya identifies the symbols as proto Sanskrit script,
predating known Sanskrit by thousands of years. The symbols appear

(03:36):
to describe a global catastrophe involving massive sea movements, the
end of a life cycle, a comet or asteroid impact,
and the destruction of one world for a new one,
potentially referencing the Younger Dryas period around twelve nine hundred
to eleven thousand, seven hundred years ago. The physical characteristics
have fueled speculation from day one. The object weighs anywhere

(03:58):
from sixteen to twenty two pounds, depending on the source
and when it was measured. Some researchers claim it's actually
gained weight since it crashed, suggesting the use of futuristic
gravitational forces to reduce mass during flight. X ray scans
revealed a three layered structure made of metal like materials,
with an outer layer as dense as human bone, possibly

(04:19):
titanium or steel. The outer surface contains thirty one precisely
drilled microscopic holes. Initial scans show the object as a
central spine made of microbeads or cylinders arranged like a
robot's esophagus, along with sixteen dense nodes clustered internally, possibly
some kind of processor or data system. Microscopic analysis has

(04:41):
identified what some describe as complex fiber optic wiring inside,
suggesting the sphere could transmit and receive signals. It contains
a central nucleus that experts call a chip, surrounded by
eighteen microspheres and three layers of metal like material. The
impact site exhibited strange properties grass and soil where the

(05:03):
sphere landed, died off, and showed no signs of weak growth.
No radiation was detected, leading some experts to theorize that
an invisible energy may have extracted all moisture from the
surrounding area. Josee Luis Velasquez, a Colombian radiology specialist, determined
extraterrestrial origin after inspecting the object and finding no marks

(05:24):
indicating the metal are but been welded together or contained
joint parts in any way. Perhaps the most explosive claim
involves carbon dating results allegedly from the University of Georgia.
A report states that organic material found inside the bugosphere
tested at approximately twelve thousand, five hundred and sixty years old,

(05:45):
pre dating the Pyramids of Egypt by seven millennia. Doctor
Stephen Grier's team discovered traces of natural resin material embedded
deep within the thirty one microscopic holes. The resid appeared
to serve as an anchoring medium for thread like structures
running throughout the sphere's interior. Scientists at the University of
Georgia employed accelerator mass spectrometry to analyze the resin samples.

(06:09):
The age would place the organic material in the younger
dryest period, a time of dramatic climate change. Critics question
potential contamination of resin samples and dating accuracy, though some
skeptics suggest the fiber like structures might be crystalline formations
rather than engineered components. Julia Mossbridge, founder and board share

(06:30):
of the Institute for Love and Time and a member
of the University of San Diego Department of Physics and Biophysics,
told Fox News Digital she remains skeptical of its extraterrestrial origins.
It looks to her like a really cool art project,
She urged caution in drawing immediate conclusions. Mossbridge explained that
while she thinks the Buga sphere is an art piece

(06:51):
not a UAP, the object has allowed for more conversation
surrounding the phenomena. She cautioned that it could discredit actual
UAP investigatorations. Mossbridge urged thorough vetting before declaring anomalies and
mysterious discoveries. She suggested experts should bring the object to
groups like the Galileo Project to determine if the material

(07:12):
is clearly non human made. A fact checking website states
that there is zero credible evidence that Columbia has discovered
any alien technology. No reputable scientific institution, government agency, or
news outlet has verified existence of the Buga sphere. All
reports trace back to sensational social media posts and conspiracy websites.

(07:35):
The debate has gained momentum online. Skeptics ask whether the
orb could be a prop a sculpture, or even part
of a viral marketing stunt. Analysis performed on the sphere
determined it's an aluminum alloy with a hardness of three
hundred thirty, which is higher than the aerospace hardness of
one hundred seventy. The material is not currently available for

(07:55):
commercial use. With the level of hardness shown by the
Buga sphere, skeptics wonder whether such hardness levels might indicate
advanced terrestrial manufacturing rather than extraterrestrial origin. The Bugis Fear's
credibility suffers significantly from its association with Haimi Mussan, a
Mexican journalist and UFO researcher with a lengthy track record

(08:19):
of promoting debunked alien discoveries. In twenty fifteen, Mussan led
an event where a mummithied body claimed to be an
alien child was unveiled. The mummified corpse was later identified
as a human child. In twenty seventeen, Musan appeared in
a video where a mummithied bonni supposedly discovered in Peru
near the Nazca lines, claimed to be a three fingered alien,

(08:40):
was unveiled. The twenty seventeen report by the Peruvian Prosecutor's
office stated that supposed alien bodies promoted by Musan were
actually recently manufactured dolls covered with a mixture of paper
and synthetic glue to simulate the presence of skin. On
September twelfth, twenty twenty three, Musan unveiled to allegedly non
human beings to Mexico's first Congress of the Union public

(09:03):
hearing regarding UFOs. He claimed these were mummified corpses found
in a diatom mine in Cusco, Peru, near Nasca, believed
to be more than a thousand years old. Forensic archaeologist
at Flavio Estrada, who examined the specimens for the Prosecutor's
Office of Peru, said they are not extraterrestrials. They are
not intraterrestrials. They are not a new species. They are

(09:24):
non hybrids. The humanoid dolls consisted of animal and human
bones assembled with modern synthetic glue. Massan was also involved
in publicizing a specimen dubbed metepic creature, which later turned
out to be a skinned monkey as well as a
demon ferry. In twenty sixteen, Julietta Fieriro, a physics researcher
at UNAM, stated that the university never endorsed Bussan's claims

(09:48):
and that this data made no sense. UNAM republished their
September twenty seventeen statement specifying that they did not make
any conclusion as to the origins of a sample sent
to them for carbon fourteen testing. David Villes, one of
the initial investigators, made arrangements to turn over the sphere
for scientific study to Massan, who flew to Columbia to

(10:09):
retrieve it and place it in a guarded safe inside
his office complex. In June twenty twenty five, Mussan called
a press conference attended by Mexican scientists, US representative Eric Burlison,
doctor Stephen Greer of the Disclosure Project, and attorney Daniel Sheyan.
Doctor Stephen Greer revealed on x that fake policemen attempted
to enter the vault in Mexico City where they suspected

(10:32):
UFOs being kept while scientists examine it. No confirmation of
these claims exists beyond Mussan's circle. Despite the skepticism, prominent
figures in UFO research have thrown their weight behind the
bugas spheres authenticity. Doctor Stephen Greer, founder of the Disclosure Project,
has become one of the Spheer's most vocal advocates. Greer

(10:53):
proposes electrogravitic fields that might indicate anti gravity, propulsion or
data Transmissioner interviewed Donose Rompo in Mexico City on June
twenty one, twenty twenty five, for a forthcoming documentary. UFO
researchers like Haimi Mussan argued the sphere could be extraterrestrial
in origin, citing its unexplained structure and alien like features.

(11:15):
Preliminary X ray and tomography remain ongoing. Show host Jack Osborne,
who reportedly featured the Spheres Analysis and Programming stated he
was determined to prove that intelligent creatures occupying planets have
connected to Earth and humanity. Australian documentary filmmaker Serene DC
described a spheres arrival on Earth as a pivotal moment

(11:36):
in human discovery. She noted that if the translation is accurate,
it speaks of cosmic beginnings, of cycles of creation and destruction,
and of a solar event that divides worlds. She acknowledged
uncertainty about whether this represents poetry, prophecy, or a record
of something that truly happened long ago. Further metallurgical analysis

(11:57):
is underway, with teams from several laboratories studying sphere's precise
alloy composition to determine whether these medals are of earthly
origin or something else Entirely. David Villez revealed that people
have sent him videos of ten different spheres from all
over Columbia, suggesting a potential pattern of sightings rather than
an isolated incident. Similar metallic orbs have been spotted worldwide.

(12:21):
A US Air Force drone captured one over Iraq in
twenty twenty three. Glowing orbs were filmed by a passenger
on a commercial flight in twenty twenty four. NASA's twenty
twenty three UFO study noted a surge in ORB sightings
at high altitudes, often exhibiting flight patterns that defy physics.
The involvement of doctor Stephen Greer adds another layer of

(12:42):
complexity to the story. GAIA streaming service featured a special
report titled Inside the Buga Sphere with guest host Josh Columbeski,
covering what was described as a historic moment. The June
twenty twenty five conference represents something unprecedented in UFO history,
citizens retaining control of anomalous technology long enough for independent

(13:04):
scientific analysis. The results suggest manufacturing techniques beyond current human capability,
integrated with what appears to be functional technology. Critics point
to Greer's history of making extraordinary claims about secret government
technologies and alien contact. Greer runs the Disclosure Project, pushing
four UFO reveals, but critics say he mixes facts with

(13:27):
fiction for gain. Greer hypothesized the sphere as Atlantean tech activated.
Now the spheares changing weight has fascinated believers and puzzled
skeptics as well. The sphere roughly twenty inches in diameter,
weighing about four and a half pounds, initially reportedly changed
weight to ten pounds on a calibrated scale. Some researchers

(13:48):
interpret this as evidence of anti gravity propulsion systems shutting
down after the crash. Scientists claim the spheres growing in weight,
though not in size, and can apparently also levitate. No
verified video of levitation has emerged. In controlled laboratory conditions,
When cold water is poured on the sphere, steam rises,

(14:09):
suggesting internal heat, energy storage, or a reaction not yet understood.
This thermal behavior does not match what would be expected
from an inert metal object that crashed months earlier. Critics
counter that weight variations could result from measurement errors, moisture absorption,
or oxidation. The reported lack of radiation might simply indicate

(14:31):
the sphere is exactly what skeptic's claim it is, an
elaborate art project or a hoax constructed from terrestrial materials.
The interpretation of the sphere's symbols remains highly contentious. Whilst
our Tore claims to have deciphered a coherent warning message,
some AI driven pattern recognition efforts interpret the symbols as
non linguistic proposing they form a celestial map or energy diagram.

(14:55):
The engravings reportedly emit specific frequency and cosmic energy patterns,
concept echoed in live streamed analysis, where the sphere's reactions
to one hundred and ninety to three hundred hertz and
ancient mantras were said to unlock its latent properties. While
these translations remain speculative, a faint a picture of an
object designed to communicate or activate under precise conditions. The

(15:17):
problem with symbol interpretation becomes obvious when different researchers produce
wildly different translations. Some see warnings about floods and cosmic catastrophes,
Others detect references to consciousness expansion and universal unity. Still
others claim the symbols spell out artificial intelligence in a
cryptic alphabet without a Rosetta stone equivalent. Without any independent

(15:41):
verification of the translation methodology, the messages supposedly encoded on
the sphere remain firmly in the realm of speculation. Each
interpreter brings their own expectations and biases to the symbols,
potentially seeing what they hope defined rather than what actually exists.
Cognitive neuroscientists and researcher of UFOs and UAPs, doctor Julia Mossbridge,

(16:03):
suggested that artists may be imitating alien aesthetics intentionally. She
explained that we're learning that we don't understand what's in
our skies or our waters, and there's something going on
that is essentially bigger than us. The possibility that the
Buga sphere represents high level artistic expression rather than extraterrestrial
technology doesn't diminish its cultural significance. If someone created this

(16:27):
object as art, they succeeded in generating global conversation about
humanity's relationship with the cosmos, our environmental responsibilities, and our
readiness for contact with other intelligent species. Initial X rays
of the sphere cannot reveal how the object was built.
There's little evidence linking the metal orb to that of
the flying object seen in videos posted on social media.

(16:49):
This disconnect between the crashed object and the sphere now
under study raises obvious questions about whether researchers are even
examining the same object that fell from the sky. The
Bugisphere fits neatly into a pattern of UFO controversies that
generate intense initial excitement followed by mounting skepticism. Journalists and
researchers compare this incident to other famous UFO encounters, such

(17:13):
as the two thousand and four tic TAC phenomenon in
the nineteen sixty seven Maelstrom base case. Despite the extraordinary features,
some analysts warn of parallels with the Peru alien mummies scandal,
a claim later debunked as fake figurines made of bone
and synthetic materials. The Bugosphere story contains all the elements

(17:33):
that typically accompany dubious alien claims, dramatic discovery by civilians,
resistance to official investigation, association with controversial UFO researchers, conflicting
scientific analysis, extraordinary claims about ancient technology, and a narrative
that flays into existing beliefs about government cover ups and
suppressed knowledge. Believers argue these same elements could equally indicate

(17:58):
a genuine anomaly that retins established paradigms. Mainstream science's dismissal
might reflect institutional bias rather than objective analysis. The involvement
of controversial figures might simply mean that only those willing
to risk their reputations dare investigate potentially paradigm shifting discoveries.
The UFO sphere in Columbia stands out because it's a

(18:21):
physical object available for study, Unlike most sightings that vanish
without a trace. This represents both its greatest strength and
its most glaring weakness. If the Bugi sphere is genuinely anomalous,
physical examination should eventually provide definitive answers about its composition, age,
and manufacturing techniques. Metallurgical analysis can determine whether the alloys

(18:43):
match anything produced on Earth. Structural examination can reveal whether
the internal architecture follows known engineering principles or represents something
entirely novel. If the sphere is a hoax or art project,
that too, should become apparent through rigorous testing. Modern materials
science can identify like synthetic adhesives, detect recent manufacturing marks

(19:05):
invisible to the naked eye, and determine whether supposedly ancient
organic materials show signs of artificial aging. The tragedy of
the Bugis sphere controversy lies in its current limbo state.
The sphere remains in Mussan's control rather than in the
hands of a major research institution with their resources and
credibility to conduct definitive analysis. The carbon dating allegedly performed

(19:28):
at the University of Georgia, has not been published in
peer reviewed literature. The symbol translations come from individuals with
apparent conflicts of interest in proving the sphere as anomalous nature.
As tests progress, the world watches will this object prove
to be a breakthrough and understanding extraterrestrial life or cleverly

(19:48):
crafted mystery. This discovery taps into humanity's timeless fascination with
the unknown. It challenges assumptions about technology, consciousness, and our
place in the universe, whether it's an alien probe, an
advanced human creation, or something else. Entirely, it forces examination
of the limits of current knowledge. The bugisphere refuses to

(20:09):
stay out of the headlines because it represents something larger
than itself. It embodies humanity's desperate hope that we're not
alone in the universe, our fear that we're destroying our
only home, and our uncertainty about whether we can trust
the authorities who claim to protect us. Sartorri's translation about
saving or destroying our world resonates regardless of whether alien

(20:30):
beings actually sent the message. Many already believe Earth faces
environmental catastrophe. We already understand that our choices today determine
whether future generations inherit a habitable planet. Perhaps the real
message of the Bugisphere has nothing to do with ancient
floods or cosmic warnings. Maybe it simply holds up a
mirror showing humanity exactly what we want to see, proof

(20:52):
that someone out there cares about what happens to us,
evidence that our existence matters on a cosmic scale, and
hope that we might still have time to change our
trajectory before it's too late. Whether that mirror reflects alien
intelligence or human psychology remains the question that keeps the
buga spear in our headlines, our conversations, and our collective
