Giant cylinder dropping into Mexican volcano

[Tommy Rot]

Not sure on the authenticity of this footage but does look a little strange, most likely some sort of camera-based malfunction.

Actually, looking at the footage, it's more than likely a large fiery boulder being spewed out of the volcano, and then falling behind the volcano itself. That, couple with a light trail, gives the impression of a cylinder type object falling into the crater.

I don't know. That looked pretty geometric. Kind of strange that something that large didn't disturb the gas and dust spewing from the volcano at all though.

[Ashotep]

I don't know what to make of it. You think there would be a disturbance.

It's just the volcanonites returning from dinner. No big deal.

What did Prof. Ana Luisa Cid think it was?(I don't speak spanish)

I find it interesting that there is a bright spot that shows up along the rim right were the object hits. I believe it is something physical moving fast.

Logically I think you may be onto something.... only thing is that it is coming in at an angle. If shot out of that volcano, then it would have landed further away, not reverse its angle back toward the center. That would not happen even if it was behind the mountain.

lol "Yeah that bright red area looks like a soft landing""

Even aliens have to eat dinner.

Even IF the vid is true, which I doubt, WHAT was the purpose?

An earth-based nuke to blow the volcano apart. Didn't happen.

So, I claim a total fake.
