University of Georgia
The University of Georgia (UGA) is a U.S. public research university in Athens, Georgia. Its Center for Applied Isotope Studies (CAIS) is one of the world’s most cited Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon-dating laboratories.
UAP relevance
UGA is named — without documentation — as the source of an AMS radiocarbon-dating result of ~12,560 years for organic resin allegedly extracted from inside the buga-sphere. The claim was promoted publicly by jaime-maussan and steven-greer at the May 8 2026 the-disclosure-project NPC event (src-greer-disclosure-event-npc-2026-05) and articulated in src-buga-sphere-uga-carbon-date-claim-2025-10.
As of May 2026, the following remain unaccounted for:
- No published UGA / CAIS lab report or press release.
- No named UGA personnel, principal investigator, or sample-prep methodology.
- No calibration data, error margins, or raw measurements.
- No peer-reviewed publication.
src-buga-sphere-carbon-dating-debunk-2026-04 and src-buga-sphere-ibtimes-ball-from-nowhere-2026-03 argue the claim should be treated as unverified pending UGA documentation; Colombian astronomer marino-guarin explicitly notes the absence of any “official report from the university.”
