Scientists studying controversial 'UFO sphere' claim to have made a shocking discovery

Freaky...

Scientists who are allegedly studying a legit 'UFO sphere' that 'landed' on Earth claim to have made a shocking discovery.

On March 2, residents spotted what appeared to be a flying object zig-zagging over the city of Buga, Colombia, in such a way that no Earthy aircraft is apparently capable of.

The metallic ball that was documented in several TikTok videos, and now dubbed the 'Buga Sphere', was later recovered after it allegedly 'landed' in a field, with researchers noting it had strange symbols on it and have since ruled it to be a genuine UFO, The Mirror reports.

Now, scientists claim to have made even more shocking discoveries inside the mysterious orb, which is growing in weight - though not in size - and can apparently also levitate.

Amongst the eerie findings of the Buga Sphere is its core, as researchers say they found three layers of a metal-like material, as well as 18 microspheres around a central nucleus they are calling a 'chip'.

A new paper about the supposed artefact reveals a microscope was set to 2,000 times to expose hidden wires that are invisible to the human eye, that reportedly all run in different directions and connect on the sphere's surface, like a microchip.

Rodolfo Garrido, a Mexican engineer working with the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) on the sphere, said new evidence has also pointed to suggest a decaying ionized field is coming from it.

Speaking to Maussan Televisión, Garrido stunned viewers when he said the orb has since increased in weight since it landed more than three months ago, coming in at five times heavier despite never changing volume.

He also said to UFO expert Jaime Maussan on the TV program Interstellar that the sphere is capable of generating its own electromagnetic field, which can be used to levitate off the ground.

It is believed the sphere's flight and levitation ability was abruptly cut short when it collided with a power cable.

During the broadcast this week, Maussan commented: "This is just the beginning. Strategies and plans are already being developed.

"Various laboratories have been hired to attempt reverse engineering to understand how this sphere works."

However, others are somewhat skeptical about the whole debacle, with Dr Julia Mossbridge of the University of San Diego's Department of Physics and Biophysics slamming the outlandish reports and saying the sphere is merely a 'man-made art project.'

However, she said that while initial X-rays of the sphere could not reveal how the object was built, there is little evidence linking the metal orb to that of the flying object seen in videos posted on social media.

Maussan has also been at the heart of controversy over similar stories in the past, such as his claims of having found real UFO sightings only for them to be debunked as comets or stars in the sky.
