In "What's REALLY Inside the Mysterious Buga Sphere?", Billy Carson argues that the metal ball recovered near Buga, Colombia in March 2025 is a genuine flying object of unusual construction, most likely a data-gathering probe moving by some form of electrogravitics, and that CT scans of its interior rule out industrial junk. He does not claim to know who built it. The video covers the recovery, the scan claims, the swarm and "jellyfish" footage he connects to it, a detour into warp-drive physics, and his plans to test the object.
The topic matters because the Buga sphere is the rare UFO case with a physical object civilians can hold and scan, rather than a sensor feed like the Nimitz "Tic Tac" encounter. That makes it either the most important artifact in the field or the easiest to expose.
What the video covers
The recovery story (from about 4:15)
Carson gives the timeline as the object's holders tell it. On March 2, 2025, witnesses in Buga, in Colombia's Valle del Cauca, reported a sphere zigzagging across the sky. Soon afterwards a football-sized metal ball of roughly two kilograms was picked up in nearby woods. The finders said it was cold to the touch yet, according to Carson, it showed a heat signature when scanned. The shell is smooth and seamless, with no welds or joints, as if formed from one piece of metal. In his words, "For the first time, we actually have something in our possession that we can research and investigate" without a military team taking it away.
The Egyptian vase comparison and the glyphs (from about 5:30)
The seamlessness reminds Carson of the diorite vessels in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. He is explicit that he is not attributing the sphere to the Anunnaki; the point is that a one-piece object with no assembly marks is what he associates with technology that cannot easily be reproduced today, a debate covered in the companion on Egyptian stone vases and drill cores. The surface carries engravings compared to ancient writing: crescents and a pattern resembling an eye in a pyramid. The metal was assessed inconclusively as titanium or steel, and he rules out a weather balloon or satellite debris.
The scans (from about 8:50)
Carson says the sphere went to a team led by the radiographer José Luis Velásquez for X-ray and high-resolution CT imaging. As he relays it, the sphere is solid, built like a container around a hidden core, with three concentric layers of metal-like material of different densities arranged with what the team called deliberate precision, and a symmetrical interior the team did not expect from something that otherwise resembled melted slag. He hedges the conclusion: "If it's one of ours, it still changes everything," because an object that flies with no aerodynamic surfaces implies a propulsion method he calls electrogravitics, or anti-gravity.
The photos, the headlines and the attempted theft (from about 10:30)
Carson shows stills of the sphere with the crescents visible and a raised element he describes as a microchip molded into the sealed casing; no linguist, he says, has deciphered the glyphs. He reads three headlines: one asking whether the object is an art project or a UFO, one on it sparking UFO speculation, and one reporting that men disguised as police tried to steal it. The last prompts his speculation, with nothing beyond the headline, that an outside team was sent to retrieve it.
Mexican testing, the power line and the swarm (from about 13:05)
The first clip is a presenter describing the sphere as being in the hands of civil society for the first time, recovered by the people who filmed it, with preliminary tests done in Mexico by two engineers formerly linked to the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
Carson then runs through the man-made options, a black-budget program at DARPA, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman or a similar contractor, the territory covered in the companion on Bob Lazar and Area 51. His objection is geographic: why test such a device over rural Colombia rather than a desert range with recovery crews waiting? That question, not physical evidence, pushes him away from the black-budget reading.
The second clip is the original footage, filmed by a local woman named Maria Bedoya while feeding her cattle: the sphere floats at a distance with a green reflection on top, touches a high-tension cable and falls. Carson wonders whether it was drawn to the line because it runs on electrogravitics. Around 20:40 he plays footage of dozens of spheres in the sky at once, not Starlink satellites in his view, and asks whether these are probes that have circled the planet for years collecting data.
A second sphere, the Greer clip and the changing weight (from about 22:40)
A clip attributed to a Buga resident named Mario shows a second, unauthenticated sphere filmed on May 7 on the other side of town. Carson reads its movement as a grid search, perhaps by an AI looking for the lost sphere, and says that having had the videos examined by his editors he believes the objects are genuinely flying.
He then plays a clip of Dr. Steven Greer, founder of the Disclosure Project, whom he describes as a close friend. Greer says his assessment is pending but that he regards the object as real, suggests it uses an electrogravitic field, lists possible origins from extraterrestrial to an ancient human-extraterrestrial mix, and wants to date the polymer in it. His claim that earlier spheres were seized by special forces is recorded here as his assertion. From about 27:25 Carson relays the claim that the sphere changes weight between weighings with no visible exchange of material, like a bathroom scale reading 215 pounds and, an hour later, 250.
The jellyfish, the symposium and the warp drive (from about 30:10)
Carson shows the so-called jellyfish object, an infrared military-sensor clip of a shape he says resembles nothing that flies aerodynamically, and allows that it could be government, military or alien. That leads to a personal aside: at a space symposium in 2018, under a security clearance, he came away convinced that "whatever you can imagine, they can build". He cannot say what he heard, so it cannot be evaluated.
He then explains the Alcubierre warp drive (from about 33:50) with a tablecloth analogy: the ship sits still while space contracts ahead and expands behind, so relativity holds. With conventional propulsion, in his telling, a trip to a star one light-year away would return the traveler to an Earth that had aged 70 or 80 years.
What Carson plans to do (from about 39:00)
Returning to the sphere, Carson settles on "something that's just collecting information and data": a probe whose electrogravitic system may be malfunctioning after the collision with the power line. He missed an invitation to see the object in Las Vegas before it was moved and expects to examine it within about three months with a Geiger counter, a magnetometer and, if possible, a muon scan. He closes with a disclaimer of his own: "All I know is speculation."
Key takeaways
The Buga sphere is a roughly two-kilogram metal ball recovered near Buga, Colombia after a video of a flying sphere surfaced on March 2, 2025, and it is held privately.
Carson's case rests on three claims relayed from the holders: a seamless shell, CT scans showing a core inside three concentric layers, and weight that varies between weighings.
His reading is a flying probe using electrogravitic propulsion, possibly damaged, built by an unknown party; he declines to say whether that party is human.
The swarm clips, the second Buga sphere and the jellyfish footage are context, not evidence about this object.
None of the scan results or measurements has been published for independent review, so the mainstream position remains art project or hoax until shown otherwise.
Billy Carson's reading
Carson treats the Buga sphere as the best physical UFO evidence available to civilians precisely because it is not in military custody. Everything else, from the Nimitz videos to the testimony he discusses in UAPs versus UFOs and the Disclosure Project, runs through government sensors and release decisions. Here, in his view, the chain is civilians, a radiographer and independent engineers.
A seamless shell with engineered internal layers implies deliberate manufacture; flight without aerodynamic surfaces implies field-based propulsion; a device that drifts and grid-searches implies a probe with some autonomy. He leans on Greer's reading, his own impression of the footage, and his conviction from the 2018 symposium that technologies far beyond public knowledge exist. In short: the object is real, its origin is open, and he intends to test it himself.
What mainstream scholarship says
Every striking claim about the Buga sphere, from the seamless shell and the three-layer CT image to the internal heat and the changing weight, originates with the people who hold the object and the presenters who have shown it at UFO events. As of the video, no peer-reviewed paper, no accredited materials laboratory and no documented chain of custody has been made public. The headline Carson reads, art project or UFO, is a fair summary of where independent observers stand. Skeptical analysts have proposed a handmade sculpture or a deliberate hoax: the engraved motifs resemble familiar esoteric symbols rather than any known script, a cast metal shell polished smooth shows no seams, any cast or composite object produces density layers on a CT scan, and a two-kilogram ball can be lofted by a drone or thrown, filmed from a distance, and fall when it meets a power line. The weight-change claim has no published protocol. The wider context runs from the debris behind Roswell to the 2024 historical review by the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, which found no evidence that any recovered material was extraterrestrial.
On the physics, electrogravitics traces to Thomas Townsend Brown's work from the 1920s onward; tests in vacuum attribute the Biefeld-Brown effect to ion wind, and no anti-gravity device has been demonstrated. The Alcubierre drive is a real 1994 solution to the equations of general relativity, but it requires negative energy density in quantities nobody knows how to produce. Carson's time-dilation example also runs the wrong way: dilation makes the traveler age less, not Earth age more, and a round trip to a star one light-year away at near light speed takes just over two years of Earth time. Mass sphere sightings are often Starlink trains, balloons or birds, and the jellyfish clip, released in 2024 and reportedly recorded over a base in Iraq in 2018, has been read by analysts as debris on the sensor window. Whether interstellar probes could exist at all is a live question, as the debate over 'Oumuamua shows, but the Buga sphere has not yet earned a place in it.
Watch, read and go deeper
The Nimitz Tic Tac companion shows what a well-documented military UAP case looks like. For the probe idea in its scientific form, the 'Oumuamua article covers the only interstellar object seriously proposed as artificial, and the Fermi paradox article explains why, if probes were common, one would expect more than one ball in a Colombian field. On 4BK TV, Richard Dolan's UFO Chronicles gives the documented history of the subject decade by decade.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Buga sphere?
The Buga sphere is a football-sized metal ball of about two kilograms recovered near Buga in Colombia's Valle del Cauca after a video of a flying sphere surfaced on March 2, 2025. Its holders say it is seamless, engraved with symbols and layered inside on CT scans. It has been displayed at UFO events and remains in private hands.
What did the CT scans of the Buga sphere show?
According to the team that scanned it, led by radiographer José Luis Velásquez, the sphere is solid rather than hollow, with a central core surrounded by three concentric layers of different densities. The images have been shown at presentations but not published in a peer-reviewed journal or reproduced by an independent laboratory.
Is the Buga sphere a hoax?
Nobody has proven it either way. Skeptics note that a cast and polished metal object looks seamless, that any cast object shows density layers under CT, that the symbols match familiar esoteric motifs rather than a lost script, and that the flight video is consistent with a drone-lofted or thrown object. Supporters, including Billy Carson, say the footage, scans and reported weight changes point to advanced technology. Independent testing with a documented chain of custody would settle most of it.
What is electrogravitics?
Electrogravitics is the idea, associated with Thomas Townsend Brown's experiments from the 1920s to the 1950s, that strong electric fields can produce lift by acting on gravity. Physicists attribute the effect Brown observed to ion wind; it disappears in a vacuum, and no anti-gravity propulsion has been demonstrated. Carson uses the term for whatever propulsion he thinks the sphere uses.
