In March 2025, residents of the small Colombian town of Buga, in the department of Valle del Cauca, witnessed an unusual phenomenon. A metallic sphere zig-zagging across the sky captured their attention before crashing and damaging power lines. A local resident recovered the object, which was about the size of a soccer ball—perfectly smooth, lacking visible seams or welds, and covered in mysterious symbols reminiscent of proto-Sanskrit.
Researcher and radiologist José Luis Velásquez conducted the initial inspections and X-ray scans. According to the results later presented at press conferences, the object is composed of three concentric layers of metal-like material with varying densities. At its center lies a core that researchers call a "chip," surrounded by 18 microspheres and elements that look like fiber-optic filaments. The sphere shows no signs of conventional industrial production, as there are no weld seams or joints. These characteristics immediately drew the interest of ufologists. The object was sent to Mexico for further study, where it was taken up by Jaime Maussan and his team. Some tests reportedly showed a reaction to specific sound frequencies, including ancient mantras, though these findings remain controversial.
A year has since passed. On May 8, 2026, during a press conference in Washington, D.C., coinciding with the 25th anniversary of Steven Greer's Disclosure Project, Jaime Maussan and his colleagues announced the discovery of a second sphere. This object also hails from Colombia, though it was found in a different region. According to witnesses and those involved in the events, it was recovered relatively recently and submitted for scientific analysis.
The second sphere is largely similar to the first: metallic, spherical, and lacking any visible joints. However, there are significant differences. It bears no symbols or inscriptions. The number of equatorial apertures is also different—approximately 29 instead of 31. These details suggest that while the objects are similar in design, they are not identical. Comparative studies are already underway in Mexico City, where both spheres are being monitored by researchers.
Video footage and testimonies shared on social media and paranormal channels show the objects moving through the air without visible propulsion, occasionally performing abrupt maneuvers. Experts note that these characteristics do not align with known drones or meteorological equipment. At the same time, skeptics point to the possibility of a terrestrial origin, ranging from experimental devices to art installations. Official Colombian and Mexican agencies have not yet issued detailed comments, preferring to observe the progress of independent examinations.
The emergence of a second sphere adds a new layer to the narrative. While the first gained notoriety for its symbols and potential reactions to certain frequencies or sounds—including ancient mantras—the second appears to be a "cleaner" version. Researchers hope that comparing the two objects will help them understand their functional principles, the origin of the materials, and perhaps their purpose—be it as probes, communication devices, or something else entirely.
While the scientific community cautiously gathers data, public fascination continues to grow. The events surrounding the Buga spheres fit into the broader context of recent claims regarding unidentified phenomena, including the declassification of records in the United States. For now, the world awaits the results of laboratory testing. Regardless of the outcome, these discoveries serve as a reminder of how little we still know about the possibilities of technology—whether from our world or beyond.
