A metallic sphere covered in bizarre symbols which was recovered after it “landed” in a field in has been subjected to new analysis with researchers citing shocking evidence it is a genuine . Dubbed the Buga Sphere, it was spotted March 2 over the town of Buga, zig-zagging around the sky in a way no conventional aircraft is capable of.

The object was recovered shortly after it landed in a field and has been since analysed by scientists. Researchers claimed they found three layers of metal-like material and 18 microspheres surrounding a central nucleus they are calling 'a chip.'

Now new analysis has given rise to evidence which points to a strong, decaying ionized field coming from the Buga sphere, said Rodolfo Garrido, a Mexican engineer working with a team from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

In a recent appearance on Maussan Televisión, Garrido revealed what scientists have found out so far about the sphere and its purpose, following months of research. He revealed to stunned viewers that the sphere had increased in weight since it landed and was now five times heavier, despite never changing in volume.

Garrido said the sphere was capable of generating its own electromagnetic field, speaking to UFO researcher Jaime Maussan on the TV program Interstellar. He added this field was used to levitate above the ground.

However not everyone is convinced by the findings. Dr Julia Mossbridge of the University of San Diego's Department of Physics and Biophysics cast doubt on the outlandish reports, instead saying the sphere was a ‘man-made art project’.

Jaime Maussan has previously been involved with several debunked UFO claims in the past. He has claimed to have discovered evidence of real UFO sightings, only for it to be debunked as a comet or star in the night sky.

Maussan has also claimed to have discovered physical evidence of mummified alien corpses on three separate occasions, but none of the incidents have been proven true. In this case, however, scientists at UNAM said this levitation system somehow allowed the sphere to maintain a low weight of just over four pounds.

The sphere's flight, which was caught on several TikTok videos, was allegedly interrupted after it struck a power cable, causing its electromagnetic field to destabilise and eventually land. The UNAM team just published their on the Buga sphere.

The new paper details how a microscope was set to 2,000 times normal view in order to see the hidden wiring, invisible to the human eye. The complex wire system is said to run in different directions and connects to the copper pins and points on the sphere's surface, including something resembling a microchip.

During the broadcast on June 7, Maussan said: "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."

Initial X-rays of the sphere in March could not find any seams that would provide evidence of how the object was built. But, despite that, Dr Mossbridge is doubtful that the mysterious probe was an actual UFO.

The cognitive neuroscientist also noted that no direct connection has been made between videos of the Buga sphere and the actual metal object found in the Colombian woods.
