A Colombian radiology specialist says a mysterious metal orb discovered in his country is an unidentified flying object (UFO) of extraterrestrial origin, though experts remain skeptical of the claim.
Jose Luis Velasquez, the radiology specialist, determined the extraterrestrial origin after inspecting the object and finding no marks indicating the metal orb had been welded together or contained joined parts in any way, according to a post on X, formerly Twitter, from a creator who labels their content as entertainment.
The object - known as the "Buga Sphere" - was discovered in Buga, Colombia earlier this year, according to video in the social media post.
Images of the orb show a silver-colored sphere about the size of a bowling ball covered in what appears to be foreign text and drawings.

Newsweek reached out to Velasquez via email for comment on Sunday during non-working hours.

"As a former science agency leader, I have always sought the truth in human knowledge and thought," Gallaudet said during the hearing. "Now that we know UAP are interacting with humanity, and these include unidentified submerged objects (USOs) in the ocean, we should not keep our heads stuck in the sand but boldly face this new reality and learn from it."

asked, “How much am I to be paid?”
It took me some time,
