A mysterious glowing object spotted hovering above one of Mexico’s most active volcanoes has sparked renewed speculation about unidentified flying objects and their possible connection to geological hotspots. The bizarre phenomenon was recorded on Thursday, October 30, by monitoring cameras placed near the Popocatépetl volcano, located between the states of Puebla and Morelos. 

In footage released from the scene, a luminous, oval-shaped object can be seen hovering over the crater of the massive volcano, which stands at an altitude of 17,802 feet (5,426 metres). Moments later, the object suddenly darts out of view at unusually high speed, prompting viewers to claim that the movement was unlike any known aircraft.

The suspected "flying saucer" seems to align itself over the smoking crater just as flames and thick clouds of smoke escape into the night sky. According to observers, no conventional drone or helicopter could safely approach the volcano’s extreme temperatures and turbulent emissions.

Volcano Activity Reported On Same Day

On the day of the sighting, Mexico’s National Center for Disaster Prevention (CENAPRED) reported 19 low-intensity eruptions accompanied by vapour, ash, and volcanic gases. Officials reiterated safety guidelines urging the public to keep a minimum 12-kilometre distance from the crater due to unpredictable explosions and falling ash.

So far, authorities have not issued a formal statement regarding the glowing object or its possible origin. Meanwhile, scientists continue to monitor Popocatépetl, which remains under constant surveillance due to its active status.

UFO Theories Gain Traction

This sighting is not the first time strange aerial objects have been recorded near the volcano. UFO expert Jaime Maussan previously claimed that Popocatépetl may function as an “inter-dimensional portal”, a theoretical gateway allowing spacecraft to traverse space-time.

According to Maussan, no man-made object could survive direct exposure to the volcano’s heat, estimated at around 1,000 degrees Celsius inside the crater. His theories have gained traction online, where volcano-adjacent UFO sightings are frequently discussed by enthusiasts.
