A clear, peer-reviewed scientific consensus rejecting or confirming Avi Loeb’s claim that 3I/ATLAS is an artificial, technological object does not exist; the published, peer-reviewed literature to dat...
No record in the provided reporting shows a peer‑reviewed journal article definitively published on the Buga Sphere through mid‑2025; reporting and several institutional reports or preprints exist (UN...
The Buga Sphere is described in multiple reports as a seamless, silver-colored orb ~50 cm (about a bowling-ball/beach-ball size) with embedded fiber‑optic–like threads, internal microspheres, and an u...
Reporting on the Buga Sphere shows clear competing theories: some analysts and outlets describe it as a machined, non-natural device with unusual alloys and internal structure (e.g., material studies ...
Peer-reviewed journal articles specifically analyzing the Buga Sphere are not present in the supplied results; the most detailed academic-style treatments are working papers and preprints posted to SS...
A range of historical and modern objects — from confirmed ancient technologies like the Antikythera mechanism and Baghdad Battery to reported spherical UFO cases and local folklore — have been invoked...
Avi Loeb is an Israeli‑born, U.S.-based theoretical astrophysicist and the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard University, known for prolific scholarship across cosmology, black holes, ...
The Buga Sphere controversy has generated a patchwork of media—viral videos, recovered-object photographs, lab reports and polemical commentary—each requiring forensic scrutiny to separate verifiable ...
Avi Loeb is a high-profile Harvard astrophysicist who has publicly argued that the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS exhibits a cluster of unusual features worth rigorous scrutiny and who warns that curren...
Major news outlets and several academic-style reports have covered the so‑called “Buga Sphere” since March 2025, producing a mix of mainstream reporting, university-affiliated lab claims, preprints on...
No established, independent research institution has published a peer‑reviewed journal article confirming the Buga Sphere’s anomalous properties; available reporting repeatedly notes analysis efforts,...
Multiple teams and at least one university-affiliated lab figure in public reporting about analyses of the Buga Sphere’s materials and construction — notably UNAM (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Méx...
