Osmanagic has been making these ridiculous claims for years and is also the leading proponent of the so-called “Bosnian Pyramids” which are nothing more than natural “flatiron” hill formations, dismissed by the European Association of Archaeologists in their 2006 official statement as “a cruel hoax”.

That sphere is one of many such geological oddities found in the region and it isn’t even the largest, although it may perhaps be the most spherical. Here’s Robert Schoch's (associate professor of Natural Sciences at the College of General Studies, University of Boston) and Colette Dowell's debunking of Osmanagic’s previous claims in 2007, with some interesting onward links:

To quote Jason Colavito:
“Bosnia and Herzegovina has been a problematic territory for thousands of years, a place where empires and cultures clashed over what it meant to be European. In 1878, the Congress of Berlin gave the Habsburgs the right to occupy what was then a Turkish province, and in 1908 they annexed it. This, in turn, helped lead to a pan-Slavic uprising that brought down Austria-Hungary and all of Europe with it. As part of Yugoslavia, it sat on the fault line between fascism, communism, socialism, and democracy. In the 1990s, the civil war between Muslims, Croats, and Serbs devastated the newly born Yugoslav successor state. Now, the Bosnian government seems like it is trying to repair some of the damage by emphasizing Bosnia’s European heritage. To that end, during his time in office former prime minister Nedžad Branković gave official funding and sanction to Osmanagic, and declared the Bosnian pyramids to be a “positive” discovery that would improve the local economy. Not coincidentally, it would also, if true, make Bosnia the most European country of all, the home to the oldest high civilization on the continent.”

Isn’t it interesting how much politics and nationalism interferes with archaeology? It smacks of the “Piltdown Man” saga in Britain, driven in part by rivalry with France about who had the most legitimate claim to be the cradle of early European humanity.

So it's not a marble used by giant children of the area?

......you can get some pretty silly results. The human imagination is a wonderful thing, to be celebrated. But sometimes, the venues chosen in which to allow the flowering of the imagination are, well, there just not the right venues. I guess it's all in the mind of the beholder, after all:-)

That's clearly a spaceship.

I'll be wearing my tinfoil hat when it hatches.

incase anyone would like to know how to make a tin foil hat here is a nice instructional.

It could be a mining area where the ancients got their rolling trap cave rocks. Like the one in the beginning scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark...
