Colombia's UFO record runs from a 1964 air force chase over Bogotá's El Dorado airport to the disputed Buga Sphere of 2025 and the similar spheres presented in 2026.
Official involvement in Colombia's UFO record has been occasional and reactive. When five lights over central Bogotá spread across social media in January 2016, the civil aviation authority Aerocivil told Blu Radio it was investigating, and the Colombian Air Force told El Heraldo that the phenomenon did not correspond to any of its exercises. No explanation followed. The best-known older case also involves the air force. In 1964, according to accounts compiled by Xataka Colombia, Avianca crews and control-tower staff at El Dorado airport reported a round, deep-yellow object above the tower, and an air force T-33 jet sent after it broke off at about 31,000 feet when it ran low on fuel.
Other cases rest on individual testimony. In 1991 a farmer from Tenjo in Cundinamarca said he lost about 24 hours, waking in Pitalito, Huila, after an encounter with three silver beings in a glass cabin; his wife and friends said he had been drinking. In 2022 pilot Jorge Arteaga filmed a silver object that he said rushed past his light aircraft at about 12,500 feet between Medellín and Santa Fe de Antioquia. When the clip resurfaced in February 2026 no official statement accompanied it, and commenters online suggested a drone, a balloon or a windshield reflection.
The Buga Sphere became Colombia's most publicized case. Residents near Buga said that in early March 2025 a glowing object zigzagged, struck a high-voltage line and fell. Jaime Maussan took the polished sphere to Mexico, where supporters reported nested inner spheres and optical fibres in tests that were not peer-reviewed, while Stanford's Garry Nolan put the chance that it was made on Earth at 99%. In May 2026 a second sphere presented as a Buga-type object was drilled open on camera; according to posts sharing the footage, presented by William Zúñiga, it held ordinary screws and conventional internal parts. Viral clips of metallic spheres and lights over Colombian towns kept appearing through the year.
Colombia's UFO history is less a story of official files than of aviation witnesses and physical objects. The Buga dispute has made the country a test case for claimed artifacts whose custody and laboratory records remain in private hands.

In this case from Colombia in 1992, you not only get a Nordic-looking NHI emerging out of a crescent-shaped "craft", but you also get a craft materializing from [Quoted] Reptilians use Tic-Tac UAP Nordics use crescent/wedge UAP Greys use lenticular UAP There’s your non-human occupant to craft taxonomy, per David Grusch.

Colombia’s version of CE5 summons a classic saucer in daylight. Multiple cameras. A restaurant full of witnesses. This is their moment of contact. #UAP #UFO https://t.co/QSWB2ikXyn
This photograph was taken by a family friend, and he gave it to me when I was a child. He gave us a copy. I don’t know if it could genuinely be a UFO, but for many years of my life I’ve felt very proud of this photo and displayed it as if it were a real sighting. At this point, though, I don’t know if it was a joke or what. According to his story, he was running inside his apartment and managed to grab his camera and take this photograph at around 6 p.m. There were approximately five UFOs and...
The Buga Sphere: a mysterious metallic orb recovered near Buga, Colombia, surrounded by extraordinary claims about its origin, construction, and possible connection to ancient civilizations. The sphere features unusual markings across its surface, microscopic openings around its equator, and no obvious welds, joints, or conventional signs of assembly. Claims surrounding later examinations even suggested that its mass had changed. X-ray examinations reportedly revealed multiple concentric laye...

Solving This London Mystery Led to the Discovery of a New Species Almost 6,000 Miles Away
A misidentified frog species that was well known across Ecuador and Colombia remained unrecognized by science for decades—until now.
This was posted by a Colombian after the earthquake. I'm not going to translate everything he says, but he says there's a strange dot in the sky after the earthquake. He says that in the morning before the earthquake a professor of his mentioned weird dots in the sky, so after the earthquake he was curious to see if he could see something and this is the image he took with his photo.
