Scientific Analysis of the “Buga Sphere” — Document in Spanish (English Summary Below)
One of the most striking findings in the study is the confirmed presence of what appears to be optical fiber in the sphere — a small sample of material extracted from one of the equatorial pins was was analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and chemical testing, showing a composition of silicon, oxygen, and traces of zinc, which strongly matches conventional optical fiber.
Since the document is only available in Spanish, here’s a detailed breakdown in English:
1. Hardness and Magnetism:
The sphere showed small changes in hardness all over its surface. and no magnetic response, based on tests with a neodymium magnet and gaussmeter.
2. Metallographic Analysis:
It was revealed that the sphere is made of two separate hemispheres and an equatorial belt, no conventional welding traces were found. The optical fiber-like material was discovered in the equatorial pins during this phase of analysis.
3. X-ray Fluorescence:
The metallic body consists mainly of an A413 aluminum alloy. The Half Moons like carvings on the surface appear to have been etched using silicon carbide grit blasting.
4. Luminescence:
Using UV light tests, a faint signal from the equatorial pins led to deeper testing, confirming again the presence of polymer-based material consistent with optical fibers.
5. Thermogravimetric Analysis:
The polymer material degrades at temperatures above 70°C, making the sphere sensitive to heat and unsuitable for thermal or mechanical processes above that limit.
