Colombia, May 26: A mysterious metallic sphere found in Colombia's Buga has ignited widespread speculation over its possible extraterrestrial origin, with scientists offering contrasting views on its nature. The object was reportedly seen flying over the town on March 2 before landing. The video of the mysterious blob flying over Colombia has gone viral on social media.

The sphere, now under examination, reportedly features a unique three-layered structure and, according to researcher Jose Luis Velazquez, bears no visible welds or joints, a characteristic typically associated with non-human manufacture. Velazquez believes these unusual features support the theory that the object might be of alien origin. Alien Invasion or Human Hoax?

However, the scientific community has expressed scepticism. Julia Mossbridge, physicist and founder of The Institute for Love and Time (TILT), expressed doubts about any extraterrestrial link. Speaking to Fox News Digital, Mossbridge described the sphere as likely “a really cool art project” and warned against premature conclusions.

“This discovery, whether alien or not, is a reminder of our limited understanding of the world,” Mossbridge said. She added that unexplained sightings, or UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomena), have been reported for decades, with even the US government acknowledging the existence of unknown aerial objects. UFO Sighting or Alien Activity?

Mossbridge praised scientific efforts outside government channels, citing the work of the Galileo Project, UAP Disclosure Fund, and the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies, all of which aim to rigorously investigate unexplained phenomena. She urged that any claims about the sphere’s origin should await scientific material analysis. “If it’s clearly not man-made, experts will determine that. Until then, we need to remain curious but skeptical,” she said.
