Buga Sphere Recovered in Colombia, Picked Up by Maussan

Residents of Buga, Valle del Cauca, Colombia reported a small spherical object descending silently over the city on 2 March 2025. Witnesses recovered the object and photographed it, describing a seamless metallic shell, an internal structure of micro-spheres, and surface markings that some observers compared to glyphs. The object was passed to Mexican broadcaster Jaime Maussan, who toured it on Tercer Milenio across 2025 and announced a March 2026 Mexico City presentation with proponent scientists. Maussan's team commissioned testing and asserted that resin attached to the sphere had been carbon dated by the University of Georgia Center for Applied Isotope Studies to roughly 12,560 years before present. Neither the University of Georgia CAIS nor UNAM has issued a public confirmation of involvement, and no peer-reviewed paper has been published. Sceptics including Dr Julia Mossbridge and Dr Garry Nolan have characterised the object as most likely a deliberate art piece or hoax, citing modern fabrication techniques such as superplastic forming and magnetic pulse welding that can produce seamless joints. The Buga sphere case re-entered the US news cycle on 29 April 2026 when Steven Greer announced it would feature in his 25th-anniversary Disclosure Project press conference at the National Press Club on 8 May 2026.
