Interesting uap news out of Colombia. The sphere is metallic with strange symbols on it. Video footage of it flying around and then landing. It is recovered by a man who loans it to scientists for examination. Read story and see video/pics here:

Can’t question his accuracy. Nothing dubious about any of these.

The doctor says no welds or joints but upon a quick glance at the pic to start the vid, I swear I can see depressions along the seam or fold clearly made by rivets. If the aliens have rivet technology, we’re in big trouble. I think it’s a sign of great intelligence when depressions in metal made by riveting can withstand the rigours of space and quick unattainable movements in the atmosphere. Impressive.

Ofcourse you did. You always find exactly what you are looking for and nothing more.

"'The sphere itself seems kind of like an art project,' the UFO researcher said, adding that she believes it was created by humans, not aliens.

Mossbridge noted that no direct connection has been made between a video of what's being called the Buga sphere and the actual metal object found in Colombia."

What would that even look like, besides people claiming to see it crash, video of the sphere seen flying and going down in the woods with someone approaching it, and someone claiming to have retrieved it? How many metallic spheres do you think are just sitting in the woods waiting to be found? One of the eyewitnesses said when someone touched it it felt like a refrigerator.

Here's the original footage of the sphere flying and even going down into some trees.
A man is seen approaching it, grabbing it, and carrying it. What more is required?

I was quoting your OP article.
Plenty of cuts in the video to question whether it's the same as what was seen in the sky.

And why are they pouring water on it and rubbing it? Is that some South American protocol for UFOs?

"But Velez el Potro has claimed that the sphere is authentic, found in the woods of Buga.

He told Maussan that the man who found it, Jose, felt sick for days after touching the object.

'When I poured water on it, it started to smoke and the water vaporized instantly,' Velez el Potro added, suggesting the interior was hot and exterior cold."

Thing about helium balloons is that they keep rising into the air as per the laws of physics. They don't fly around horizontally, stop, and suddenly descend into the trees.

"What happens to the helium balloon as it rises?

As altitude increases, the density of the atmosphere decreases. So as a latex helium balloon rises, the outside air pressure diminishes, while the pressure from inside of the balloon remains the same. This causes the elastic material of the latex helium balloon to expand.

As the latex expands, the helium balloon increases in volume, thereby increasing its buoyancy. The more a balloon’s material can safely expand, the higher it will rise.

How high can a helium balloon go?
This depends largely on the material of the helium balloon. One made of a stronger latex will be able to expand (and ascend) more than one that is made of a weaker latex.

In a 1992 study of a test of toy balloons for the Federal Department of Aviation, researchers found that latex helium balloons can rise to an altitude of 5.7 miles to 6.6 miles before popping."

Claiming something is authentic doesn't mean much. People can claim all kinds of things and tell you all sorts of stories.
So only Jose got sick? None of the other people pouring water on it and fondling it?

Maybe you're not aware, but all helium balloons eventually leak the tiny helium molecules until they start to fall.
