The Buga Sphere: UFO or AI-Crafted Hoax? A Critical Look from Detecting Lost Legends
If you’ve been anywhere near the internet lately, you’ve probably heard about the Buga Sphere, the mysterious metallic orb “discovered” in Colombia that everyone says might be a UFO or some kind of interdimensional artifact. The pictures look cool at first glance: a perfectly round seamless sphere with weird symbols and what looks like a microchip in the middle with lines reaching out like a circuit board. But let me be real. This thing is total bullshit.
What is the Buga Sphere?
It’s about 50 centimeters wide and weighs roughly 4.5 pounds. X-rays show it’s made of layers of metal and inside there are smaller spheres. It’s covered with strange symbols, some look like ancient scripts, like Ogham or Mesopotamian, and some look like modern tech patterms. There’s a ridge around the middle with holes all along it.
Sounds alien? Maybe. But if you look closer, the whole thing falls apart.
The Red Flags: Why This Object Screams Human Fabrication
First, the symbols are all over the place. You’ve got ancient mysticism mixed with microchip designs. That central square with lines and dots looks exactly like a computer chip, something I’ve seen before in AI generated diagrams and technical blueprints. It’s not some secret alien language; it’s tech cliche wrapped in mystery.
Second, the holes around the equator. If this thing was really some dimensional traveler, why would it need holes for air or vision? It wouldn’t. That’s classic human logic ventilation, observation ports, stuff no interdimensional orb needs.
Third, the “seamless” construction isn’t impossible. Modern 3D printing and metal layering can do that now.
And last, the story smells like a viral stunt. No official agencies have verified it and the whole thing fits perfectly into social media hype.
The AI Connection—and What It Means for UFO Culture
Here’s the kicker: that central chip with lines and dots looks a lot like images I helped make with Link Whisper and ChatGPT over the past months. It’s a design of nodes and connections radiating from a core. Kind of like how AI works.
I think the Buga Sphere is really a reflection of AI culture seeping into UFO stories. It’s a symbol of “alien tech” made with human tech ideas and AI designs. Basically, it’s us projecting our own tech myth onto the unknown.
And to add, any spheres I’ve ever seen or studied look smooth and shiny. Probably because real interdimensional or advanced tech spheres wouldn’t have stupid holes or rough engraving. Nobody smart enough to build alien tech is going to chisel ancient symbols on the surface just for kicks. That’s just humanity’s lack of imagination trying to make sense of it.
Why You Should Care
The Buga Sphere shows how easy it is to confuse real mysteries with made-up hype, especially now that AI can create convincing designs and stories on demand. It’s a warning for anyone who wants truth mixed with wonder.
At Detecting Lost Legends, I dig through noise to find real clues. The Buga Sphere doesn’t make the cut.
Stay Curious, Stay Critical
There’s no real alien artifact here. Just a clever hoax or art piece made with AI and modern tech. But that doesn’t mean we stop looking for true mysteries. We just have to get smarter about how we investigate and resist viral spectacle.
Mike, thank you for laying out your case so clearly. 🙏 I agree with you that AI and social media hype are blurring the line between hoax and mystery, it’s wise to stay critical.
At the same time, what keeps me curious about the Buga Sphere are the details that don’t fit the usual viral stunt pattern: multiple eyewitnesses in Buga, the 18 inner spheres reportedly revealed by x-ray, and the unusually dense nickel signature around the central ‘circuit’ pattern. Those are odd things to build into a simple art project.
Whether it turns out to be an interdimensional artifact, a clever hoax, or something in between, it’s an important case study in how we project our tech myths onto the unknown. Thanks for encouraging open but grounded discussion.
I'm planning to write a Substack about it and what I see as its connection to Comet 3I/Atlas, what I call Avaru.
Interesting, I just got intense Deja vu when writing this to you...
