Scientists reveal truth behind 'UFO' seen in major city with 'cryptic message'
The object allegedly was spotted zig-zagging in the sky over the Colombian city of Buga before landing in March.
While there is no evidence that object seen flying in a nontraditional way is the same as the one recovered on the ground, a team of scientists have been analyzing it.
The team used AI to decipher symbols inscribed on the sphere which they likened to ancient scripts.
Researchers have translated the symbols to the read: 'The origin of birth through union and energy in the cycle of transformation, meeting point of unity, expansion, and consciousness — individual consciousness.'
'We interpret it as a message to humanity, encouraging a collective shift in consciousness to help Mother Earth — especially considering the current issues with pollution and environmental decline,' they said.
But one unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) researcher, Dr Julia Mossbridge, is skeptical that the object is actually a UFO or of alien material.
'The sphere itself seems kind of like an art project' created by humans, Mossbridge, who is a cognitive neuroscientist, told Fox News recently.
'If an artist is doing this, why is that? Well, I think it's partly the same reason.
'It's because we're learning that we don't understand what's in our skies or our waters. And there's something going on that's essentially bigger than us.' More Trending
She pointed out the lack of concrete evidence to show that the object observed in the sky is the same as the one found in the ground.
But Mossbridge, who attended a congressional hearing on UAPs on May 1, said humans may soon have to reckon with the possibility of alien life.
'We are entering a time when we are starting to recognize as humans we don't have the control that we thought we had over everything,' she said.

Disturbing link between Parkinson's disease and living beside a golf club revealed by new study
The possible exposure comes from an unexpected place OUT OF BOUNDS Disturbing link between Parkinson's disease and living beside a golf club revealed by new study Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LIVING near a golf course might come with more than just scenic views - it could carry a hidden health risk. A new study has revealed a troubling connection between proximity to golf courses and the likelihood of developing Parkinson's disease.

Led by the Barrow Neurological Institute in Arizona, along with Mayo Clinic, the study analyzed 419 Parkinson's patients with a control group. Data from the Rochester Epidemiology Project between 1991 and 2015 helped researchers compare Parkinson's patients with a control group. The greatest risk was seen in people living one to three miles from a golf course and the expansive lawns that come with it. READ MORE ON HEALTH LAB 'COVER UP' WHO still have no idea what caused Covid - but refuse to rule out lab leak Living within one mile of a fairway was linked to a 126% increase in odds of developing Parkinson's, the study found. Those in water service areas that included a golf course had nearly double the risk compared to areas without one. The risk jumped 82% for people living in under water service areas that also had vulnerable groundwater. 'Pesticides applied to golf courses may play a role in the incidence of PD [Parkinson's disease] for nearby residents,' researchers concluded in the study, published in JAMA Network Open. 'The strongest effects were in municipal water service areas with a golf course and in regions with vulnerable groundwater based on the bedrock and topography,' lead author Brittany Krzyzanowski, Ph.D told Fox News. She added, 'We speculate that pesticides might play a role. However, we didn't include data on pesticides in this study, so future research is needed to better understand what's going on.' Peter Andre shares emotional moment he's reunited with his mum Thea who's battling Parkinson's and Alzheimer's Medical director of the MS Center at Holy Name Medical Center in New Jersey, Dr. Mary Ann Picone, who was not involved in the research, weighed in on the findings. 'There has often been discussion regarding risks for development of Parkinson's disease and environmental agents such as pesticides,' she told Fox News. 'Further research is needed with larger groups of patients, but this study does increase the concern about the association between pesticide exposure and risk of Parkinson's,' Picone added. She also warned that airborne exposure to pesticides could contribute to the risk. What is Parkinson's disease? PARKINSON'S is a progressive neurological condition. This means that it causes problems in the brain and gets worse over time. People with Parkinson's don't have enough of the chemical dopamine in their brain because some of the nerve cells that make it have stopped working. Around 145,000 people live with Parkinson's in the UK. It's the fastest growing neurological condition in the world. Symptoms start to appear when the brain can't make enough dopamine to control movement properly. This usually happens around the age of 50, but some people might see the first signs in their 40s. There are over 40 symptoms, but the three main ones are: A tremor (shaking) Slowness of movement Rigidity (muscle stiffness) There are several different treatments, therapies and support available to help manage the condition. Source: Parkinson's UK The study did not measure individual levels of pesticide exposure, which researchers noted as a limitation. 'There are many other aspects as well that can interfere with developing a disease,' said senior author Dr. Rodolfo Savica of the Mayo Clinic. Researchers admitted the results may not apply to all areas, since the study focused on a region with hot, humid summers where pesticide use may be higher. Other risk factors, like head injuries or genetics were also not considered in the study. DEVELOPING PARKINSON'S Krzyzanowski pointed out that Parkinson's can take decades to develop, so the focus was on exposure from years ago. 'If pesticides were involved, they would be the ones sprayed a long time ago and that might be different from what's being sprayed today,' she said. Picone echoed that point, adding the research looked at exposure going back to 2013 or earlier. The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America pushed back on the study's implications. 'Public health experts and researchers who have reviewed the study have noted that the study's methodological limitations make it difficult to draw conclusions from the data,' the group said in a statement. They added that all pesticides used on golf courses are registered by the EPA and don't create 'unreasonable adverse effects' when applied properly. Mayo Clinic's Savica said older adults should still enjoy being active and social. 'I recommend people continue to play sports outdoors and enjoy the sociality of any activity, including playing golf,' he said. But he also advised people to be cautious around areas where pesticide exposure may be possible.

Netflix adds 'breathtaking' sci-fi movie 23 years after it was first released
A 'breathtaking', action-packed sci-fi movie is finally coming to Netflix, 23 years after it was first released. Minority Report was released in 2002, helmed by Steven Spielberg and based on the novel of the same name by Philip K Dick. The futuristic film transported viewers to 2054, and was set in a world where police had psychic technology and were able to arrest people for crimes before they happened. Tom Cruise starred as Precrime chief John Anderton who led the department, but found himself on the wrong side of the department when he was accused of a crime he hadn't committed yet. The Mission: Impossible icon was joined in the cast by Colin Farrell, Samanta Morton, Patrick Kilpatrick and Max von Sydow. Minority Report is being added to the streaming platform on July 1, meaning a new batch of fans will be able to watch on in terror as John goes on the run, desperate to clear his name. The dystopian flick currently boasts a Rotten Tomatoes score of 89% from critics, compared to 80% from the audience. An anonymous fan penned: 'This movie was awesome. It had an incredibly unique idea that was so much fun to watch unfold. Plenty of twists and turns. A perfect sci-fi movie.' 'Probably my favorite Tom Cruise movie! It had such an original plot and a great story line! Definitely a bit sci-fi-ish, but really well done,' Jeremy L said. 'This movie was amazing and way ahead of its time,' an unnamed fan said. 'I was very impressed. Tom Cruise had an incredible performance. 'The story was unique and captivating. Very thought provoking. All the future tech displayed in this movie is still impressive today in 2020 even to a seasoned Sci-Fi fan. A must see film, one of the best Sci-Fi movies out there.' Daniel W raved: 'On the short list of my all-time favorite movies, Minority Report is the rare film that has everything: breathtaking action and suspense, philosophical and ethical dilemmas, real emotion and well-placed plot twists. 'In fact, it has so much going on that it might have gone off the rails in lesser hands; but Spielberg's veteran direction shapes it into a masterpiece.' The official synopsis reads: 'In a near future where murders can be seen before they happen, the head of the Precrime unit goes on the run when he's accused of an imminent homicide.' More Trending Minority Report was released more than two decades ago, and made more than $225million at the global box office. It spawned a spin-off prequel series on Fox in 2015, with Stark Sands, Wilmer Valderrama, Meagan Good, Nick Zano and Daniel London in the cast. However, the program wasn't as successful as the blockbuster, and was axed after one season. Got a story?

In a dramatic new chapter for Britain's most iconic spy, Amazon MGM Studios has announced that Canadian director Denis Villeneuve will helm the next James Bond film. The move marks a creative shift for the 007 franchise, signaling a new era for the franchise. Villeneuve, best known for directing Dune and Dune: Part Two, as well as Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, Sicario, and Prisoners, expressed reverence for the character. 'Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007,' he said in a statement released Wednesday. 'I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery. I'm a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory.' While acknowledging the enormous expectations, Villeneuve said he intends to 'honour the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come.' He called the opportunity 'a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honour.' More Trending The announcement comes during a period of major upheaval behind the scenes of the Bond universe. After decades of tight creative control, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson – heirs to the franchise through their father, original Bond producer Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli – have ceded key decision-making power to Amazon MGM Studios following a reported US$1billion deal. Mike Hopkins, head of Amazon MGM Studios, praised the selection of Villeneuve: 'We are honoured that Denis has agreed to direct James Bond's next chapter. He is a cinematic master, whose filmography speaks for itself,' he said in a statement. 'James Bond is in the hands of one of today's greatest filmmakers and we cannot wait to get started on 007's next adventure.'
