Recently viral Buga, Colombia, "alien" metal balls

[Mick West]

So based on the end position of the sphere relative to the vegeation the glint section seems to be taken from the zoomed out video that is right at the start

Would be expect to see glints in the zoomed out version, or is the quality too low?

It's there, just hard to see without significant contrast enhancement

It seems the response they are going for against the obvious string is that it's a "lens flare" and "a string would need to be at a 45°-degree angle"

Amigo. It is a visible string. You're busted, give it up and move on to the next case.

 

[Mick West]

It looks and moves nothing like any lense flare I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot).

It looks moves exactly like a highlight on a thin line in the sun. And the line angle is as expected for a much higher drone.

Reddit: nothing is ever a lens flare except for when it can be used to debunk a debunk!

Since the sphere is flying somewhat away from the camera when we see the glinting, I think the line could even be going up at a 45°-degree angle away from from the camera to a drone flying (out of frame) in front of it and we would still see a somewhat vertical line of glinting.

I saw over at Reddit someone posted a new video from our friend Maussan, and it shows another floating ball! Too bad this time the string is seen @1:30-1:33:

Is it just me, or in these new videos does the German Company seem to be on the outs? We have Maussan presenting the new videos, a new Italian/Guatemala research group (?) and now the UFO Hunters of Latin America as the people on the ground. They have their cute little matching outfits and cheap radios:

They seem to have some stuff on YouTube that was possibly TV show of some kind. Standard Ghost Hunters or Skinwalker Ranch type on a smaller budget. I'm wondering if Maussan has completely taken this over now.

William Zuniga (above) is also the name the Sugar Mill Contractor who managed to record the Yumba Sphere, They also share very similar facial features and ear shapes. (Screen cap from Verdad Occulta - Title "HE RECORDED THE SPHERE in YUMBO interview with WILLIAM ZUNIGA" .

Your saying the UFO hunter on the right could be William Zuniga. He's credited as such:

So, he works sugar mills by day, and hunts UFOs on the weekends.

Jaime Maussan is promoting a new version they are calling the Baldías Sphere, allegedly found by the same David Velez and William Zuñiga.

They decided to leave off the engraved characters on this one (they are apparently calling it "proto-sanskrit" now) but they think it's probably on the inside. They do all the usual silliness we have come to expect (starting around 11:45 in the video below), like probing the copper/brass rivets for electrical continuity, pointing an IR thermometer at it, pointing some kind of EMF meter at it. I don't see this one gaining as much traction on social or traditional media since it's basically just a copy of the original one.

Hehehe.. Those are kind of a visual distillation of a lot of UFO beliefs with magico-scientific graphics. They seem to have the horizontal grooves of the Klerksdorp sphere, spooky black flying triangle geometric images, and a glyph that looks like a cross between a computer chip and a Necronomicon sigil! Just the kind of thing a churro alien would use. One ball to rule them all...Hats off to the artist!

 

[John J.]

Hats off to the artist!

I don't view it with the same equanimity. These spheres, and the associated videos, have been deliberately made to deceive people, to make then believe things that aren't true.
Maussan has a horrible track record of (at the very least) promoting hoaxes as true and scientifically significant, including some possibly involving desecrated human remains (thread Alien Bodies at a Mexican UAP Hearing).

Although , given the arrant nonsense Maussan has pushed over the years, at some point it is hard not to say "Well, if folks are THAT determined to be conned, I guess nothing can protect them."
