'Men disguised as police' attempt to steal sphere-shaped UFO after new information is revealed
UFO researchers in Mexico claim that a group disguised as police have tried to steal the mysterious orb scientists believe may prove the existence of aliens.
Dr Steven Greer, an American ufologist and retired physician, revealed on X that 'fake policemen' attempted to enter the vault in Mexico City where the suspected UFO is being kept while scientists examine it.
Known as the Buga Sphere, the small, metal orb was spotted in March over the town of Buga in Colombia, zig-zagging through the sky in a way that defies the movement of conventional aircraft.
The object was recovered shortly after it landed and has since been taken to Mexico to be analyzed by scientists, who have discovered a maze of fiber-optic wires inside that suggest it can send and receive signals.
Controversial UFO researcher Jaime Maussan, who has had several claims about extraterrestrials debunked in recent years, hosted an international conference to discuss the latest findings on the Buga Sphere on June 20.
US Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri and Dr Greer were among a group of American officials in attendance when Maussan claimed that the imposters attempted to steal the Buga Sphere.
Greer added that scientists have already taken samples of the UFO that 'will be tested in a state-of-the-art lab' to determine if the sphere really is from another planet.
'Those scientists and their information have been provided to the top law enforcement... Any sort of attempts to interfere with this examination will be known, and the people and perpetrators will be held to account for it,' Greer said in a June 21 post on X.
Congressman Burlison added that it was his belief that governments and other groups may be working to suppress the public's knowledge of UFOs and alien life.
'It's not any government's right to protect knowledge about extra terrestrials, if it exists,' Burlison said on Friday. 'We have too many people reporting and too many videos to ignore it.'
According to researchers at the conference, this is the first UFO recovered by private citizens and solely controlled by non-government scientists.
The attempted robbery came right after Maussan and other researchers revealed that they are trying to reactivate the sphere using an electrical charge.
According to Rodolfo Garrido, a Mexican engineer working with scientists from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the sphere gave off a strong, decaying ionized field.
That field was responsible for somehow dehydrating the field it landed in, killing all the grass and soil there.
The June 20 presentation also revealed new images of the interior of the Buga Sphere, showing the nucleus of the device appeared to be similar in design to inventor Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower from the early 1900s.
The concept of the tower was to send electrical power through the air and ground without using wires, potentially providing free or cheap energy to homes, businesses, and even ships or planes.
Garrido said the Buga Sphere may have operated in a similar way, with a miniature Wardenclyffe Tower hidden inside the UFO.
However, the engineer told reporters that scientists have no plans of cutting the sphere in half to reveal what's really inside.
Instead they're working on plans to power it back up so the sphere will begin rotating and levitating again.
'It could be a theory that once it levitates, it could have direct communication with whoever sent it,' Garrido said through a translator.
For now, Greer said that scientists examining the Buga Sphere at UNAM are setting up security for the metal samples headed for further testing.
There has been no confirmation of Maussan's claims about the robbery attempt.
The journalist has been tied to several debunked claims, including multiple incidents where Maussan claimed to have evidence of a 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.
During the June 20 conference, Maussan put pieces of these alleged corpses on display for the researchers and government officials, including Greer and Burlison, who were allowed to hold the specimens while wearing gloves.

SpaceX says debris recovery attempts hindered after Starship explosion
June 26 (Reuters) - SpaceX said on Thursday its debris recovery efforts after last week's Starship explosion have been hindered and it has sought cooperation from Mexico, whose president has raised the possibility of legal action against the company. A massive Starship spacecraft by SpaceX exploded into a dramatic fireball during testing in Texas last week, which Elon Musk's space firm attributed to a "major anomaly." The Starship rocket appeared to have experienced at least two explosions in rapid succession, lighting up the night sky and sending debris flying, according to video capturing the moment it exploded. "Despite SpaceX's attempts to recover the anomaly related debris, which is and remains the tangible property of SpaceX, these attempts have been hindered by unauthorized parties trespassing on private property," the company said in a post on social media platform X. "We have requested local and federal assistance from the government of Mexico in the recovery," it said, adding that it also has offered resources and assistance in the clean-up. President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Wednesday that her administration is investigating the security and environmental impact of the launch of rockets, particularly for the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. A general review is being conducted to determine what international laws are being violated. "From there, we'll start a process, because there is indeed contamination," Sheinbaum had said during a morning press conference. A Starship spacecraft exploded in space minutes after lifting off from Texas in March, prompting the FAA to halt air traffic in parts of Florida, in a setback for Musk's Mars rocket program. In January, a Starship rocket broke up in space minutes after launching from Texas, raining debris over Caribbean islands and causing minor damage to a car in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Crisis warning as flesh-eating insects are found invading US through Mexican migrant route
An invasive species of flesh-eating flies has been discovered moving towards the US border, using the same route millions of migrants took to America in recent years. The New World Screwworm (NWS) lays hundreds of larvae in the wounds of animals and people, which hatch within hours and start consuming the victim's tissue. These infestations can lead to deep, painful wounds that become infected and often result in death if left untreated. Officials in Mexico have discovered several NWS cases in the country's southern states of Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Veracruz - all of which were part of the migrant caravan route used by millions to cross the US border illegally over the last decade. Researchers fear there may be no way of stopping the flies at the US-Mexico border and they'll start infesting the South within two decades due to rising temperatures. Research indicates states along the Gulf, including Texas, Florida, and Louisiana, are all at risk of seeing the parasites potentially killing cattle and people by 2055. Although the threat of widespread outbreaks of NWS among people in the South, US shoppers would quickly feel the impact of this species killing local cattle. Beef and dairy prices would likely rise because fewer cattle would mean less meat and milk available. Food shortages could occur, particularly for beef from Texas, which is home to 14 percent of all US cattle. Screwworms first became a major problem for the US in the early 1900s, costing $200 million, roughly $1.8 billion today, in infected livestock, according to the University of Texas at Austin. However, the species was wiped out in the US by 1982 using a clever method of sterilizing male flies using radioactive gamma rays so they couldn't produce any offspring with the females. The first human case of an NWS infestation was found in a 77-year-old woman from Chiapas in April. Health officials were able to stabilize her condition in time using antibiotics. Another man in Chiapas was infested with NWS maggots in May after a dog bit him, creating an open wound. Mexico's health ministry confirmed the case and said the 50-year-old was suffering from a fever, intense pain, and larvae visible in the wound. Experts in the US are worried it could have a devastating effect on the economy and local wildlife if it were to reach America. 'It can have a huge impact, certainly an economic impact, because it decreases the health and wellness of our livestock,' Texas Tech School of Veterinary Medicine Associate Professor Jennifer Koziol told Drovers in December. 'We're thinking about loss of animal use, and certainly thinking about our wildlife populations that could be decimated by this disease,' she added. The New World Screwworm is also known as Cochliomyia hominivorax, or 'man-eater.' Female flies can lay up to 200 to 300 eggs at once and up to 3,000 in their lifetime. Infestations can also be visible on the skin. The parasite hasn't been seen in the US in more than 40 years after extensive federal and state sterilization efforts managed to eradicate the fly in North America. However, the species still existed in South America and eventually broke through a containment barrier at the Darién Gap in Panama in 2022. This area is the same region connecting North and South America that over 1.2 million migrants crossed through between 2021 and 2024, according to Panama's National Migration Service. The Darién was also an area noted for its high injury rates and health risks among the massive caravans attempting to reach the US through Mexico, creating a potential breeding ground for NWS cases. After breaking back into Mexico in 2022, sterile flies were once again used to keep the infestations down, but cases continued to be reported moving north towards the US. By June 2024, the man-eaters were found in cows in Chiapas, near the Guatemala border. This month, the flies have now been found in areas just 500 miles from the southern border. According to a 2019 study in Medical and Veterinary Entomology, at least five US states are projected to be infested with screwworms again by 2055. This includes Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Arizona, and California. The main cause is feared to be climate change, as this species thrives in warmer temperatures. In May, US officials officially suspended imports of live cattle, horses, and bison from Mexico after NWS cases were found moving north, getting within 500 miles of the southern border. So far, there haven't been any cases of the screwworms making it into the US this year, but their ability to live within wildlife, livestock, pets, and people has added another level of concern for border officials. On May 27, US Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced a $21 million partnership with the Mexican government that the countries hope will eradicate the insects before they can spread further north. The money will go towards updating a fruit fly sterilization facility in Metapa, Mexico. The lab will attempt to sterilize 60 to 100 million male NWS flies every week using radiation and then release them into Mexico. When these irradiated flies mate with the larvae-carrying females, the insects won't be able to produce any offspring. That should reduce the fly's population over time, lowering the chances of infecting more animals and people throughout North America. 'The investment... is one of many efforts my team is making around the clock to protect our animals, our farm economy, and the security of our nation's food supply,' Secretary Rollins said in a statement. Despite the ongoing sterilization effort, experts have warned that the clock is ticking for US and Mexican officials to stop the spread. Phillip Kaufman, a professor of entomology at Texas A&M University, said: 'Producing sufficient numbers of sterile flies and getting them released in the correct places and at the right time is critical.' 'If the flies move further north than the isthmus in southern Mexico, it becomes more and more challenging to contain them,' the professor told Newsweek.

Mexico's president threatens to sue over SpaceX debris from rocket explosions
Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has threatened legal action over falling debris and contamination from billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX rocket launches across the border in the United States. Mexico's government was studying which international laws were being violated in order to file 'the necessary lawsuits' because 'there is indeed contamination', Sheinbaum told her morning news conference on Wednesday. Last week, a SpaceX Starship rocket exploded during a routine ground test at the Starbase headquarters of Musk's space project on the south Texas coast near the Mexican border. The explosion – which sent a towering fireball into the air – was the latest setback to Musk's dream of sending humans to Mars. Mexican officials are carrying out a 'comprehensive review' of the environmental impacts of the rocket launches for the neighboring state of Tamaulipas, Sheinbaum said. The US Federal Aviation Administration approved an increase in annual Starship rocket launches from five to 25 in early May, stating that the increased frequency would not adversely affect the environment. The decision overruled objections from conservation groups that had warned the expansion could endanger sea turtles and shorebirds. A lawsuit would be the latest legal tussle between Mexico and a US corporate giant. In May, Sheinbaum's government said it had sued Google for renaming the Gulf of Mexico the 'Gulf of America' for Google Maps users in the United States following an executive order by Donald Trump.
