The Buga Sphere is a Poorly Crafted Fake

The Buga Sphere is a fascinating case study in how modern hoaxes can exploit our desire for mystery and discovery. Its shoddy craftsmanship, Hollywood-inspired symbols, and lack of verifiable provenance all point to a contemporary fabrication, likely created to fuel online buzz or profit from gullible enthusiasts. While it’s tempting to imagine the sphere as a relic of a lost civilization or an alien visitor, the evidence suggests a far more mundane origin: a poorly executed, fake.

Perhaps the most striking evidence of the Buga Sphere’s modern origins lies in its iconography. The symbols etched into its surface bear an uncanny resemblance to those seen in Hollywood’s depictions of alien civilizations. Think of the cryptic glyphs in films like Prometheus, Arrival, or even Independence Day. These symbols—often angular, geometric, and vaguely futuristic—are designed to evoke mystery and otherworldliness but lack the cultural context of authentic ancient writing systems like cuneiform, hieroglyphs, or Linear A.

There are many similarities between the Buga Sphere’s designs and the fictional alphabets created for sci-fi franchises, such as the Klingon script from Star Trek or the written language of the Na’vi in Avatar. This suggests the sphere’s creator may have drawn inspiration from modern media rather than ancient sources.

Additionally, the carvings often fail to align properly, with lines veering off course or stopping abruptly. In many areas, the grooves appear uneven, as if carved with modern tools by an inexperienced hand. Authentic ancient artifacts, such as Mesopotamian cylinder seals or Mayan stelae, typically show remarkable precision, even when crafted with rudimentary tools.

Crooked lines? Really?

Analysts have noted tool marks that resemble those made by modern rotary tools, like Dremels, rather than the stone or bronze implements available to ancient artisans. These marks are particularly evident in the deeper grooves, where the stone shows signs of grinding rather than meticulous chiseling. My personal favorite is the Magic Marker or painted-on dots that surround the sphere.

The reliance on Hollywood-inspired aesthetics undermines claims of the sphere’s antiquity. It’s far more likely that the object was designed to appeal to modern audiences familiar with alien conspiracy narratives than to reflect an authentic historical or extraterrestrial origin.

We think they would have produced a more convincing (and evenly spaced) set of holes – if they had used a ruler!

The Buga Sphere’s carvings include spirals, triangles, and intersecting lines that mimic the generic “alien script” trope popularized by science fiction media. These designs lack the linguistic structure or repetition found in real writing systems.

As with any extraordinary claim, the Buga Sphere demands extraordinary evidence. Until such evidence emerges, it’s best to view this object as a cautionary tale about the dangers of uncritical belief in the age of viral misinformation. For now, the real mystery isn’t the sphere itself but why so many are eager to believe in it.

  1. For me it seems real but when I heard them say it has a quantum chip on it and markings have shape like structure ,I keep getting the human involvement so maybe a deep sate decoy have us all looking one way so what are they up to no good on the other side

  2. OK, if it’s not real, how did it fly with no known propulsion? If it’s not real, why didn’t the x-rays reveal the mechanical mechanisms that make it fly?

    1. Because it never flew in the first place. It was most likely a video editing montage

  3. You are not giving any proof, only “probably”, “likely”… “must be”. And you are now acknowledging the studies that University and scientists are making. So, sorry, you’re attempt is appalling and looking for the “gullible” that deny everything for no reason. I’ve been there, seen it, touched it, witnessed some tests and yes it defies 2nd principle of thermodynamics to mention just one thing. Something impossible for us engineers. And sorry I haven’t seen you around.

    1. Fabio, As a skeptic, my approach to the Buga Sphere—or any claim of extraterrestrial origin—is rooted in Carl Sagan’s principle: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. We’ll stick strictly to verifiable facts.
      Promoter Credibility: Jaime Maussan has a track record of debunked claims, including the 1997 Hale-Bopp “companion” (a hoax comet photo) and 2015 “Metepec Creature” (a stuffed animal). This alone doesn’t disprove the sphere but demands independent scrutiny, which is absent.
      Lack of Peer Review: As physicist Julia Mossbridge noted, the object needs “thorough vetting” by neutral labs before UFO labels stick. No such analysis has occurred; samples remain in private hands.
      Current Status: As of today, it’s an intriguing artifact under private study, but evidence points to terrestrial origins—likely an art project or deliberate hoax. No paradigm-shifting proof has materialized in seven months.

      In summary, the Buga Sphere is a fascinating puzzle, but the facts lean heavily toward mundane explanations until rigorous, transparent testing proves otherwise.

  4. This thing is made in somewhat of a sloppy way, is that part of alien culture or are they just not into precision craftsmanship?

  5. Obviously the Metal orb in the photos appears to be aluminum. obviously it’s gibberish and means nothing. I can already predict the discoverer will later claimed to have found some smaller translator key stones near the crash site that open up the device and they will find a some golden tablets with some special goggles inside. The language will only be translated with those special stones &goggles. They will translate and write a book and they will visited by aliens to start another cult religion and claim to be the only true faith. Many of the followers will be UAP/UFO believers.

  6. Aliens can be machines using AI …. as we now know how it can work!
    12,000 years old machine is way beyond our the earthly available techs…..
    Flying without any propulsion is also a possibility, if we could only correctly understand the link in between say gravity and magnetism? As our scientists cannot even explain how this phenomena works that we experience them in our daily lives (except relying on a mathematical modeling using space curvature!?).
    By claiming “this is NOT possible” is not scientific response, as it would be reliving the era when Galileo claimed the sun is the center of our solar system?
    Video editing is a possibility too, as not everyone can be there to physically see/experience the phenomena, however once nobody can explain where electrons gain their energy from in the atoms?! then the current energy conservation theories based on our insignificant ( and may I go further and say wrongly based theories and limited knowledge) would fail to explain how such a flying object is possible?
    Even though if this is a fake news, it may worth to think if such a thing would be possible? And if you feel strongly that it is not, then try to answer what is magnetism/gravity, and how electrons gain their energy in the atoms being active forever?! Then maybe, and just maybe, one can come out with an answer one way or the other!
