One a normal afternoon near Buga, Colombia, José Restrepo was metal detecting when something metallic crashed from the sky, striking a power line before falling to the ground. What happened next challenges everything we understand about physics, government secrecy, and disclosure.
Three months later, that sphere sat on a table in Mexico City as scientists from the country’s top university presented findings that shouldn’t exist: fiber optic networks inside a device that gained 8 kilograms of mass spontaneously, exhibits impossible hardness variations, and bears hand-etched symbols matching those seen in underground U.S. military facilities.
The Discovery That Started Everything
José Restrepo never intended to make history. The Colombian treasure hunter was simply following his metal detector’s signals when the sphere fell nearby. But his decision to pick it up rather than call authorities set in motion the first civilian-controlled analysis of anomalous technology in recorded history.
“When I picked it up my mouth dried up and I had a metallic taste in my mouth,” Restrepo testified at the June 20th international press conference in Mexico City. “That night I felt nausea, I threw up, I felt bad and I went to the doctor but I did not want to tell him the truth.”
The sphere initially weighed 2 kilograms. When José’s cousin David Velez, an engineer who runs a metal detection company called Germany, weighed it three days later, it was 6.65 kilograms. A week after that: 9 kilograms. By the time it reached Mexico for scientific analysis, it had stabilized at 10 kilograms.
“This was on the outskirts of Buga,” explained Jaime Maussan, Mexico’s leading UFO researcher who organized the conference. “When the sphere descended it weighed 2 kilograms and then the weight increased to 6 kg and then it increased to 9 kg and finally when I had my hands on the sphere the weight was 10 kilograms which has been constant ever since then.”
Objects don’t spontaneously gain mass. Mass conservation is fundamental to physics. Yet here was documented evidence of exactly that happening.
Scientific Analysis Reveals the Impossible
When Maussan brought the sphere to Mexico’s autonomous university (UNAM), scientists conducted a battery of non-invasive tests that revealed technology beyond current human capability.
Engineer Rodolfo Garrido, who led the analysis, made the most startling discovery: “What you’re witnessing right here, fiber optics at different diameters… the composition talks about silicate, zinc and oxygen, these are the three components that it’s made of, the fiber optic which is regular of which normal fiber optics are made of.”
But these weren’t ordinary fiber optics. When researchers shined laser beams through them, there was no reflection — suggesting they might still be functional. The fibers were embedded within cracks in the sphere’s aluminum structure, integrated at the manufacturing level rather than added later.
Metallurgy expert revealed another impossibility: the sphere’s hardness changes when exposed to magnetic fields. Initially measuring 333 on the Brinell scale — twice as hard as NASA-grade aluminum — the hardness dropped to 58 after exposure to a 6,000 Gauss magnet.
“It’s hard to understand that through a magnet the sphere would change its physical properties,” Ávila noted. Materials science has no explanation for such behavior.
The sphere also exhibits random temperature fluctuations, heating from 24°C to 33°C with no external heat source. Tomography scans revealed three distinct density regions inside, suggesting internal components of unknown composition.
When Governments Came Calling
The moment David Velez went public with video of the sphere, international pressure began. Multiple countries and organizations attempted to acquire it through offers, bribes, and eventually threats.
“They tried to bribe me directly from Spain through three different organizations and geo companies,” Velez testified. “They offered me a great amount of money for the sphere. And actually this isn’t a piece of bread that you sell at the bakery. I said it’s not for sale, period.”
Brazil followed with what Velez described as an air force-connected organization requesting to “borrow” the sphere for testing. “I knew they weren’t going to give it back,” he said.
Then came the threats. Velez recorded an 8-minute phone call from someone claiming ownership: “I have an audio that I recorded where somebody was threatening me during 8 minutes saying that ‘we are the owners of this sphere. This is very serious please give the sphere back. This is our property from 2011. It’s our artifact we reverse engineered it and what we are able to do it is levitated and it flew 350 meters away from our territory.’”
The caller claimed they had built the technology 13 years earlier and lost control of it. Velez’ computers were repeatedly hacked, and he felt “threatened by different people from different countries.”
Congressional Revelations
The conference wasn’t a fringe gathering. Sitting in the audience was U.S. Congressman Eric Burlison from Missouri, who made a stunning admission about government secrecy.
“We’ve been blocked in Congress — we’ve been blocked from receiving the briefings that we need,” Burleson stated. “It’s not any government’s right to protect any knowledge about extraterrestrial or non-human intelligence if it exists. And so we have too many people reporting things, we have too many videos coming out to ignore it. I think I have a responsibility on oversight to investigate it and do my due diligence and that’s why I’m here.”
Constitutional lawyer Daniel Sheehan, who worked on Watergate and Iran-Contra, confirmed this pattern extends back decades. “President Carter was informed by the National Security State people in the United States that he had no right to know about this phenomenon,” Sheehan revealed.
Even presidents, it seems, are denied access to UFO information.
The Underground Connection
Dr. Steven Greer from the Disclosure Project delivered the conference’s most shocking revelation. Two days before the event, he had interviewed a Green Beret who described being taken to an underground facility at Crane Naval Weapons Station in Indiana.
“This gentleman… was taken underground very deep and it was shown several extraterrestrial devices, one of which had a device like a translucent almost like a small iPad but extraterrestrial and it was putting up above that screen a series of letters or symbols,” Greer testified. “These are exactly the symbols that were floating above this device in the air about a foot and that they had some effect in his awareness and they thought it had something to do with activation of DNA and consciousness.”
The symbols floating above the underground device matched those hand-etched into the Buga Sphere’s surface. Not only that but it was also revealed by Dr. Greer that fake police attempted the steal the buga sphere from a secured vault in Mexico City during the conference.
A New Paradigm
This conference represents something unprecedented in UFO history: citizens retaining control of anomalous technology long enough for independent scientific analysis. The results suggest manufacturing techniques beyond current human capability, integrated with what appears to be functional technology.
“You’ve been firsthand witnesses in a historic event, never before has something similar happened in all of history in ufology,” Maussan concluded.
Whether the Buga Sphere represents extraterrestrial technology, a lost terrestrial civilization, or a classified military project, one thing is clear: the scientific data defies conventional explanation. Combined with the government secrecy, international pressure, and underground facility connections, a pattern emerges of coordinated information suppression.
For the first time, that suppression failed. Citizens kept control long enough to ask the right questions and publish the answers in real-time. The sphere remains in Mexico, still being studied, still raising questions that challenge our understanding of technology, disclosure, and who really controls information about non-human intelligence.
