SCIENTISTS are studying a mysterious “UFO orb” which landed in Colombia and is said to be “alien”.
Boffins released X-ray images of the mind-boggling sphere, after witnesses claimed to have seen it flying over the town of Buga in March.
It was said to have been zig-zagging through the skies in an unconventional flying pattern.
The “UFO sphere” was reportedly recovered shortly after landing.
It has since been analysed by scientists who have now revealed their groundbreaking research on the “extraterrestrial item”.
They discovered that it featured three layers of metal-like material and 18 micro-spheres inside which surrounded a central nucleus.
Scientists are calling this core “a chip”.
A radiologist who examined the sphere Dr Joe Luis Velazquez said that they found “no welds or joints”, which usually indicate human production.
The scientist’s analysis indicated that the object is man-made as there are no signs of welding, and the components inside are made of high-density materials.
“More testing is needed to establish its origin.”
The mind-blowing object also displayed symbols that the team compared to ancient scripts.
These included runes, Ogham and Mesopotamian writing systems.
The scientists used AI to help them decode the bizarre text.
Interpreting the object’s significance, they perceived it symbolically representing the process of creation through energy and unity, symbolizing the convergence of oneness, growth, and awareness, particularly individual consciousness.
The researchers believed the inscriptions conveyed a message urging humanity to collectively elevate their consciousness for the betterment of the planet, viewing it as a call to support the Earth.
The object was recovered on March 2 by a group of people who said it weighed about four and a half pounds.
They described it as having “the temperature of a refrigerator” when they touched it.
One of the individuals who recovered the object David Velez el Potro said that the object was authentic, and claimed to have found it in the woods in Buga.
He also said the man who found and touched it, Jose, felt sick for days after touching the alien sphere.
Velez el Potro said: “When I poured water on it, it started to smoke and the water vaporised instantly.”
There are yet to be any official reports or scientific analysis to confirm claims of a sphere falling over Buga – only eyewitness reports.
Velez el Potro added the government contacted him to hand over the sphere, but he refused, arguing that it would “never be seen again”.
Researchers found that the sphere had irregular edges which indicated “that it is a solid object”.
The outer layer was said to be the most dense area, almost possessing human bone density.
The breakthrough research suggests that the outer layer could be made of titanium or steel.
FAMOUS UFO INCIDENTS
The ‘Night of the UFOs’ is among many famous unexplained encounters with strange objects in the sky that have happened down the years.
Perhaps the most striking was a video known as the ‘Tic-Tac’ – which showed an unidentified object being pursued by fighter planes.
While flying off the coast of California 2004, two pilots from the USS Nimitz on a routine training mission spotted an object “shaped like a 40ft Tic Tac sweet”.
Then in 2005, a veteran pilot of an F/A – 18 fighter aircraft witnessed a raft of strange objects in the sky during a training exercise off the coast of Florida.
The two videos were sensationally released by the Pentagon in 2017.
Tragically the pursuit of UFOs has also claimed lives, notably that of US Air Force Captain Thomas Mantell.
He died after being sent to chase a mysterious object in his fighter aircraft in 1948.
Other encounters with the air force include a claim that UFOs disabled weapons at a nuclear base.
Captain Robert Salas said the bizarre incident unfolded in 1967 while he was the on-duty commander of a secret underground launch control facility at Montana’s Malmstrom Air Force Base.
US forces based in Britain also had an encounter with a strange glowing in the sky in Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk.
Two airmen, Staff Sgt Jim Penniston and Airman John Burroughs, claim they got so close to a triangular craft they actually touched it.
Earlier this year, US military documents were released showing how a warship was shadowed by two “ball of light” UFOs deepening the mystery around the case.
But the scientists still need a full composition analysis to confirm this.
The 18 smaller spheres within the object’s centre appeared to be aligned in a non-randomised pattern.
Boffins are currently referring to the 18 points as “a chip” due to their precise arrangement and location within the spherical object.
The team also observed a central band composed of a different material, which contained more small spheres.
They think that these may have been placed inside before the object was sealed.
But the X-rays did not reveal any visible signs of assembly techniques by humans.
