Aliens and UFOs have been a part of pop culture for many decades now. However, the subject once again entered the headlines in recent years due to a series of government disclosures and whistleblower testimonies that have reignited public interest. American news stations also reported an alarming rise in drone and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) in the skies last year. Despite all these sightings over the years, a lack of tangible evidence has long eluded those wishing to make sense of this mystery. However, all of that might have just changed as a spherical UFO seen flying over the town of Buga in Colombia was apparently recovered when it fell from the sky.
Recovery of the Spherical UFO
In March 2025, a spherical UFO was spotted by local residents of Buga, flying through the sky in a strange, irregular pattern. According to the eyewitnesses, the object flew in a manner unlike any conventional aircraft they had seen before. Some observers reported that it eventually descended in a nearby rural area. On the 2nd of March, a group of people claimed to have recovered the otherworldly sphere. According to the group, the object weighed around 4.5 pounds and was very cold to the touch.
Appearance On A Controversial Television Show
One of the people who was part of the group that recovered the spherical UFO, David Velez el Potro, recently appeared on Maussan Television, a show hosted by the controversial ufologist and journalist, Jaime Maussan. The ufologist gained notoriety in 2017 after claiming he had found alien mummies in Peru. However, these apparent findings remain unconfirmed. It is, therefore, no surprise that many people would simply dismiss this story as another potential fabrication. Yet, El Potro swears that the object is indeed authentic and was discovered in the woods near the town.
Effects of the Mysterious Spherical UFO
According to David Velez el Potro, the man who first discovered the object was ill for days after touching it. When El Potro poured water over the object, it began to steam, and the water instantly vaporized. This suggests that while the exterior of the spherical UFO was cold, its interior was likely hot. Yet, while El Potro swears that the story is true, there are only eyewitness accounts to go on, and no official report has been released.
Government Intervention
Such findings typically draw the attention of officials, and this case was no different. El Potro told Maussan that the government subsequently contacted him after they heard he had recovered the spherical UFO. He claims that they asked him to hand it over to them. However, he refused, believing that if he did, he would never see it ever again, nor would anyone else. So, instead, he handed it over to Maussan’s team in the hopes that they would be able to shed some light as to its purpose and origin.

Examination of the Spherical Object
The research team found that the outer layer of the object is the densest and has irregular edges, indicating that it is a solid object. According to Nacho Rojo, who was interviewed on Maussan’s show, “The center of the sphere shows a lower radio-acoustic density than the edge, indicating an internal structure that may be more porous or composed of less dense material than the outer shell”. While a full composition analysis is yet to confirm these findings, the researchers believe that the outer layer may be made from steel or titanium.
X-Ray Analysis
During the X-ray analysis of the object, the team noted 18 small dots arranged in a pattern in the middle of the spherical UFO. They speculate that these dots could perhaps be microsphere fragments, bolts, or some kind of sensor. According to Rojo, “We don’t know the composition or how it was manufactured, but it appears to be an object intentionally built to house these small metallic components internally.” Due to their location and pattern, the researchers refer to the 18 dots as a ‘chip’. According to them, the symmetry of their placement indicates deliberate engineering and advanced technology.
Further Observations
Since these patterned points show no indication of damage, they believe the object is still structurally intact. They also noted a band in the center composed of an entirely different material. The researchers say that these objects must have been placed inside before the spherical UFO was sealed. According to radiologist, Dr Jose Luis Velazquez, “It is of artificial origin, in that it shows no evidence of welding, and its internal structure is composed of high-density elements. More testing is needed to establish its origin.”
Strange Symbols
The object also contains strange symbols on its surface. The team has compared these symbols to ancient scripts, such as Mesopotamian writing systems and runes. The team then used AI to try and decipher the symbols on the spherical UFO. According to the team, the message was interpreted as reading, “The origin of birth through union and energy in the cycle of transformation, meeting point of unity, expansion, and consciousness—individual consciousness.” The researchers feel that it is a message to humanity. They see it as a call to a collective consciousness shift.
Where and How to Report UFO Sightings
What if you encounter a UFO in the US and want to report it? Well, you can do so through a variety of recognized and legitimate groups and government channels. The National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) is one of the oldest and most reputable civilian UFO reporting databases. The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) has a network of professional field investigators who can follow up on your report. AARO, an official government office under the Department of Defense, was established to investigate UAPs.
The Bottom Line
The spherical UFO remains an unsolved puzzle, with odd characteristics and inexplicable internal structures. So far, researchers have discovered dense outer layers and internal components that suggest complex, intentional engineering. Furthermore, strange symbols engraved on its surface potentially imply a message concerning human consciousness and transformation. As yet, no government entity has verified involvement in the object’s analysis. Eyewitness accounts continue to fuel curiosity, but no official scientific findings have yet been revealed. Yet, it remains an intriguing discovery that may one day reveal its true purpose.
