A UFO researcher has an ominous message for humanity as governments around the world begin releasing more information about alleged contact with extraterrestrials.

Dr Julia Mossbridge is a cognitive neuroscientist and a researcher of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) – the new term for UFOs and alien sightings.

After scientists in Colombia recovered a mysterious, sphere-shaped object that many now believe is a piece of UFO technology, Mossbridge said the world is moving into an era which may soon have to deal with the knowledge that aliens exist.

‘We are entering a time when we are starting to recognize as humans we don’t have the control that we thought we had over everything,’ Dr Mossbridge told Fox News.

‘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.

‘If an artist is doing this, why is that? Well, I think it’s partly the same reason. It’s because we’re learning that we don’t understand what’s in our skies or our waters. And there’s something going on that’s essentially bigger than us,’ Mossbridge explained.
