UFO sphere scientists uncover incredible features in ball 'that fell from space'
The Buga Sphere was spotted zig-zagging in the sky over the Colombian town in a way no conventional aircraft is capable of before being recovered shortly after it landed in a field A metallic sphere covered in bizarre symbols which was recovered after it 'landed' in a field in Colombia has been subjected to new analysis with researchers citing shocking evidence it is a genuine UFO. Dubbed the Buga Sphere, it was spotted March 2 over the town of Buga, zig-zagging around the sky in a way no conventional aircraft is capable of. The object was recovered shortly after it landed in a field and has been since analysed by scientists. Researchers claimed they found three layers of metal-like material and 18 microspheres surrounding a central nucleus they are calling 'a chip.' Now new analysis has given rise to evidence which points to a strong, decaying ionized field coming from the Buga sphere, said Rodolfo Garrido, a Mexican engineer working with a team from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). In a recent appearance on Maussan Televisión, Garrido revealed what scientists have found out so far about the sphere and its purpose, following months of research. He revealed to stunned viewers that the sphere had increased in weight since it landed and was now five times heavier, despite never changing in volume. Garrido said the sphere was capable of generating its own electromagnetic field, speaking to UFO researcher Jaime Maussan on the TV program Interstellar. He added this field was used to levitate above the ground. However not everyone is convinced by the findings. Dr Julia Mossbridge of the University of San Diego's Department of Physics and Biophysics cast doubt on the outlandish reports, instead saying the sphere was a 'man-made art project'. Jaime Maussan has previously been involved with several debunked UFO claims in the past. He has claimed to have discovered evidence of 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. In this case, however, scientists at UNAM said this levitation system somehow allowed the sphere to maintain a low weight of just over four pounds. The sphere's flight, which was caught on several TikTok videos, was allegedly interrupted after it struck a power cable, causing its electromagnetic field to destabilise and eventually land. The UNAM team just published their newest report on the Buga sphere. The new paper details how a microscope was set to 2,000 times normal view in order to see the hidden wiring, invisible to the human eye. The complex wire system is said to run in different directions and connects to the copper pins and points on the sphere's surface, including something resembling a microchip. During the broadcast on June 7, Maussan said: "This is just the beginning. Strategies and plans are already being developed. Various laboratories have been hired to attempt reverse engineering to understand how this sphere works." Initial X-rays of the sphere in March could not find any seams that would provide evidence of how the object was built. But, despite that, Dr Mossbridge is doubtful that the mysterious probe was an actual UFO. The cognitive neuroscientist also noted that no direct connection has been made between videos of the Buga sphere and the actual metal object found in the Colombian woods.

Scientists studying sphere-shaped UFO with alien writing uncover new details they say proves it is real
A shocking new analysis about the strange sphere recovered in Colombia is providing even more evidence experts say proves it is a genuine UFO. Known as the Buga sphere, a team of scientists in Mexico conducted new microscopic scans of the the unidentified object first spotted in March and found a maze of fiber-optic wires that suggest it can send and receive signals. The object also appears to have somehow dehydrated the field it landed in, killing all the grass and soil where it landed. Researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) suggested it likely wasn't radiation, but a kind of invisible energy that sucked all the water out of the grass and soil, leaving them dead and unable to grow back. They claimed it could have been anions, tiny particles in the air that carry a negative electric charge. However, Dr Julia Mossbridge of the University of San Diego Department of Physics and Biophysics, has doubted the authenticity of Buga sphere, calling it a 'man-made art project.' The so-called 'UFO' was spotted March 2 over the town of Buga, 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 analyzed by scientists, who claimed it features three layers of metal-like material and 18 microspheres surrounding a central nucleus they are calling 'a chip.' According to Rodolfo Garrido, a Mexican engineer working with the UNAM team, the new evidence points to a strong, decaying ionized field coming from the Buga sphere. Garrido, who has been examining the object since March, recently appeared on Maussan Televisión to publicly reveal what scientists have found out so far about the sphere and its purpose. Since the investigation began, the UFO is now five times heavier than when it landed, which one engineer believes proves that it uses futuristic gravitational forces to make itself lighter in order to fly. Based on the new findings inside and unexplainable shift in the sphere's weight, experts believe this could be an advanced probe using a form of energy that somehow made the UFO capable of flight by manipulating gravity. Garrido revealed that the sphere increased in weight multiple times, growing to 16, 20, and then 22 pounds, despite never changing in volume. Speaking with UFO researcher Jaime Maussan on the TV program Interstellar, Garrido said that this sphere was capable of generating its own electromagnetic field, which it used to levitate above the ground. Maussan involvement in the televised interview is making researchers question the findings even more. 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. In this case, however, scientists at UNAM said this levitation system somehow allowed the sphere to maintain a low weight of just over four pounds. The sphere's flight, which was caught on several TikTok videos, was allegedly interrupted after it struck a power cable, causing its electromagnetic field to destabilize and eventually land. The UNAM team just published their newest report on the Buga sphere after finding this fiber-optic puzzle hidden inside. It took a digital microscope set to 2,000 times normal view in order to see the hidden wiring, which runs in different directions and connect to the copper pins and points on the sphere's surface, including something resembling a microchip. 'This is just the beginning. Strategies and plans are already being developed. Various laboratories have been hired to attempt reverse engineering to understand how this sphere works,' Maussan revealed during the June 7 broadcast. At the time, Velez el Potro spoke to Maussan, who has stirred up controversy for in the ufology community for nearly a decade. In 2017, Maussan claimed to have discovered alien mummies in Peru — findings that recently gained worldwide attention after a fetus was allegedly found inside one of the corpses. However, outside experts have raised serious doubts. Forensic archaeologist Flavio Estrada, who led an analysis of the bodies, said the claims that the specimens come from another world are 'totally false.' The man who discovered the sphere captured on video, David Velez el Potro, has suffered from nausea and vertigo since touching the object. Velez el Potro told Maussan that his friend who first made contact with the sphere, Jose, also felt sick for days after touching the object. Now, locals living near the crash site revealed to Velez el Potro the grass field the sphere sat in has completely died out and has not grown back in three months. 'Many people went to Alto Bonito and started sending me photos of this place,' Velez el Potro said on Interstellar. 'This is important news because we are corroborating and certifying that the sphere indeed had an electromagnetic field, magnetic fields, or some kind of radiation or static that caused the grass to dry out in that area,' he added. Initial X-rays of the sphere in March could not find any seams which would reveal how the object was built. Despite that, Dr Mossbridge voiced serious skepticism that the mysterious probe was an actual UFO. The cognitive neuroscientist and a researcher of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) noted that no direct connection has been made between videoes of the Buga sphere and the actual metal object found in the Colombian woods. 'The sphere itself seems kind of like an art project,' the UFO researcher said, adding that she believes it was created by humans, not aliens. However, the new evidence revealed by UNAM is making the story of a man-made hoax harder to believe. Dr Mossbridge admitted that humanity is nearing a point where it may soon have to deal with the knowledge that aliens exist. '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,' Mossbridge told Fox News.

Scientists in Mexico develop tortilla for people with no fridge
Peering through a microscope, food scientist Raquel Gomez studies microorganisms that add nutrients and preserve tortillas for several weeks without refrigerators -- a luxury in impoverished Mexican communities. The humble tortilla is a Mexican staple, consumed in tacos and other dishes by millions every day, from the Latin American nation's arid northern deserts to its tropical southern jungle. Most Mexicans buy fresh corn tortillas from small neighborhood shops. The wheat flour version developed by Gomez and her team contains probiotics -- live microorganisms found in yogurt and other fermented foods. As well as the nutritional benefits, the fermented ingredients mean the tortilla can be kept for up to a month without refrigeration, much longer than a homemade one, according to its creators. It was developed 'with the most vulnerable people in mind,' Gomez, a professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), told AFP in her laboratory. Nearly 14 percent of children under five suffer from chronic malnutrition in Mexico, according to official figures. In Indigenous communities, the figure is around 27 percent.

Dr. Raquel Gomez Pliego removes a tortilla from a press. A tortilla is heated on a stove in Mexico City. Fridges unaffordable The tortilla developed by Gomez is not yet commercially available, but it could benefit people like Teresa Sanchez. The 46-year-old housewife smokes meat using a wood-burning stove in her house with wooden walls and a metal roof. Like most of her neighbors in the town of Oxchuc, in the southern state of Chiapas, Sanchez has no refrigerator, so she uses the methods handed down by her Indigenous Tzeltal ancestors. 'My mother taught me and grandparents always do it this way,' she told AFP. 'Where are you going to get a refrigerator if there's no money?' Less than two-thirds of people in Chiapas, a poverty-plagued region with a large Indigenous population, have a refrigerator -- the lowest among Mexico's 32 states. The average maximum temperature in Chiapas rose from 30.1 to 32 degrees Celsius between 2014 and 2024, according to official estimates. Half of its territory is considered vulnerable to climate change. While Oxchuc is located in a mountainous, temperate area, the lack of refrigerators forces its inhabitants to rely on traditional food preservation methods. 'We think about what we're going to eat and how many of us there are. We boil it, and if there's some left over, we boil it again,' Sanchez said. Sometimes meat is salted and left to dry under the sun. Tortillas are stored in containers made from tree bark. For that reason, Sanchez only shops for the bare necessities, although her budget is limited anyway. 'I don't have that much money to buy things,' she said.

No preservatives Gomez and her team use prebiotics -- which are mainly found in high-fiber foods -- to feed probiotic cultures and produce compounds beneficial to health, she said. Thanks to the fermented ingredients, no artificial preservatives are needed in the laboratory developed tortilla, Gomez said. That is another benefit because such additives have potentially toxic effects, said Guillermo Arteaga, a researcher at the University of Sonora. One of the most commonly used additives in processed wheat flour tortillas is calcium propionate, which is considered harmful to the colon's microbiota, Arteaga said. Although her tortilla is made from wheat flour -- a type eaten mainly in northern Mexico -- Gomez does not rule out using the same method for corn tortillas, which are preferred by many Mexicans but can go bad quickly in high temperatures. The researchers patented their tortilla in 2023. UNAM signed a contract with a company to market the food, but the agreement fell through. Gomez, who won an award in December from the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property, still hopes to find partners to distribute her tortillas. She is confident that even though they were developed in a laboratory, consumers will still want to eat them. - AFP

Scientists in Mexico develop tortilla for people with no fridge
Food scientist Raquel Gomez flips a tortilla that can be kept for weeks outside a refrigerator at a university laboratory in Mexico By Arturo Ilizaliturri and Gabriela Coutino Peering through a microscope, food scientist Raquel Gomez studies microorganisms that add nutrients and preserve tortillas for several weeks without refrigerators -- a luxury in impoverished Mexican communities.
