WHAT THE SCIENTISTS ARE SAYING

ABOUT THE BUGA SPHERE, PART TWO

First, let me welcome more than a thousand new subscribers to my substack, following a much-appreciated recommendation from Dr. Steven Greer. The articles that I look to publish twice a week bring readers unique insights, I hope, into what’s happening with the UFO/UAP phenomenon - also a book I’ll be publishing next year - as well as the environment, public health and other issues that concern us all. Please consider upgrading to a paid subscription, either monthly ($8) or annually ($80), to support my work. Thank you.

Being in Mexico City recently among some of the world’s leading UFOlogists, as well as highly credible scientists and firsthand witnesses, proved an unforgettable experience. I was able to spend time with the Buga Sphere itself, letting its engraved half-moons and symbology penetrate my consciousness and pondering what I came away feeling could well mark a truly historic moment.

Anything I write here about the metallic blue basketball-sized object recovered in Colombia this past March must be considered preliminary. Studies are ongoing by scientists from UNAM, the National Autonomous University of Mexico in collaboration with the sphere’s caretaker, Jaime Maussan, coordinating with a team assembled by Dr. Steven Greer who founded the Disclosure Project. What makes this situation so compelling is that the sphere is the first UFO recovered by private citizens and being researched independently by non-government scientists with only one agenda - finding the truth and revealing it to the public.

From what’s been verified so far, that truth is mind-stretching. “It is a very rare piece, I’ve never seen anything like it,” says radiologist Jose Luis Velazquez. The X-ray analysis by his team revealed no visible seams, welds, screws, or panels which would be indicative of human manufacturing. The sphere’s smooth surface consists of three metal-like layers of varying densities and a cluster of eighteen smaller spheres wound neatly around a central nucleus that scientists are calling a chip.

The sphere is not, and will not be, cut open to study the interior. But through scans with a digital microscope 2,000 times normal viewing power, to their surprise scientists have discovered a maze of what appear to be different-colored fiber-optic wires, suggesting that the sphere could send and receive signals. Also that the fibers function as sensors to detect whatever is surrounding the object. The hidden wiring, integrated into the structure of the sphere, runs in different directions and forms a ring distributed across 31 small black polymer windows, connecting to copper pins and points on the surface of the sphere, which is 72 percent aluminum and 22 percent silicon. (Back in 1994, Colonel Philip Corso maintained that fiber optics had been extracted from recovered spacecraft and that he was responsible for introducing such to development by U.S. industry).

After being observed making unusual flight patterns, the sphere deactivated after it came to earth. It weighed a little more than four pounds when it first descended following its striking a high-tension wire - and mysteriously has been gaining weight incrementally ever since. Three months since it came into human hands, the object topped the scale at more than twenty pounds, though it never changed in volume. One individual who commented on my first piece suggested: “I think the Sphere is gaining weight because of something inside that is winding down. Like an oscillator or a generator of some kind, that is vibrating at the same frequency of the sphere’s materials.”

One engineer has speculated this indicates that the sphere may be using a form of energy that manipulates gravity to make itself lighter in order to fly. Rodolfo Garrido, with UNAM, has been studying the sphere since March and says it’s capable of generating its own electromagnetic field for levitation. “Once it levitates,” Garrido theorizes, “it could have direct communication with whoever sent it.”

At the press conference, Garrido drew a fascinating comparison with a design by the pioneering inventor Nikola Tesla in the early 1900s. This was the Wardenclyffe Tower, conceived to send electrical power through air and ground without using wires, potentially offering free or cheap energy to homes, businesses, and even ships. Might the sphere operate similarly with a miniature Tower hidden inside?

Another comparison made by Garrido was to flying spiders, first observed by Charles Darwin. These spiders can travel without wings for hundreds of miles, taking advantage of air currents and electrical fields to rise using their ultralight silk threads - and propelling themselves by generating an electrostatic force. Garrido noted this resembles how the sphere might capture energy within the environment, allowing it to rotate and initiate levitation.

Another anomaly: When first picked up, the sphere was described as “having the temperature of a refrigerator when touched, but emitting strong heat when not.” When water was later poured over it, the sphere began to emit vapor even though cold. And why did the sphere dehydrate the field it landed in? UNAM suggests that a kind of invisible energy sucked all the water out of the grass and soil - perhaps what are called anions, tiny particles in the air carrying an electric charge.

Then there are the symbols etched onto the surface. The week prior to the unveiling in Mexico, Dr. Greer had interviewed a whistleblower who revealed that he’d seen a reputedly extraterrestrial communication device containing symbols very similar to the Buga Sphere’s at a secret underground military base in Indiana. Such markings also appeared on a downed craft witnessed by soldiers at Britain’s Rendlesham Forest incident in 1980, as well as the famed Roswell crash in 1947. Maussan says that early analysis of some of the symbols on the Buga Sphere show them to be very old. (Dissent came early from Dr. Julia Mossbridge of the University of San Diego’s Department of Physics & Biophysics, who described pictures she’d seen of the sphere as likely “a man-made art project.”)

Dr. Greer raised questions as to why not only the Buga Sphere, but seemingly identical objects, have been seen in the skies over Colombia. “We know there is increasing geophysical instability in a huge area over South America that scientists are tracking. I’m not trying to be ominous, but are these being activated because they’re sensing some geophysical alteration? Did the Buga Sphere originate at some point in or on earth or in space, and was it connected to some other communication node? I think we’ll learn more when we get the tests back. It could be something very ancient, and a carbon-14 test could tell us how old.”

On June 7, some 43 miles from Buga, one near-identical sphere was captured on video footage over a sugar cane field in Yumba, making a zigzag pattern and other maneuvers that deny conventional flight. According to Maussan, “We believe these spheres are investigating, observing us, possibly searching for the first one recovered in Buga.” If interested, check out this youtube video link.

Maussan would like to try using an electrical charge to power the Buga Sphere back up, so it can start rotating and levitating once more. Dr. Greer, who believes the object “could begin to explain why we see the UFOs behave as they do,” believes there are a couple of problems with trying to make it work again. “When it hit the high voltage line, we don’t know to what extent it damaged some of the internal energy and propulsion capabilities. So one of the things we need to do more of is try to get better and more imaging on the interior and map it. We have more questions than answers at this point.”

Video footage of both the Buga Sphere when it was recovered, and the Yumba Sphere in flight, have been authenticated; they are not AI-generated or otherwise faked. And that there is keen interest by “the authorities” in what’s been revealed so far occurred the day after the press conference. On the evening of June 21, two uniformed men claiming to be police showed up unexpectedly at the guarded vault where Maussan is keeping the Buga Sphere. They wanted to confiscate the object, alleging that it was an artifact properly belonging to the government. The attempt did not succeed. Maussan increased his security and Dr. Greer said in a statement: “Any sort of attempt to interfere with this [scientific] examination will be known and the people and perpetrators will be held to account for it.”

All I can add at this point is that I found the evidence strongly leaning in the direction of non-human origin, and that that the investigators involved include highly credentialed and skilled scientists who may well be on the verge of an unprecedented breakthrough in proving that we are not alone.
