The UFO Phenomenon

UFO flies into Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano

A video recorded on May 30th appears to show an object deliberately entering the smoldering volcano.
Volcanic activity in the region has been the subject of great media interest due to its proximity to Mexico City and this latest footage is not the first to show a strange object descending in to the crater. In November of last year, video evidence was captured showing a bright cigar-shaped craft seemingly hurtling to its doom within Popocatepetl.

"What I think is that this is not a likely fake," wrote video analyst Marc Dantonio on the topic of the latest sighting. "I think, for the moment, this is a genuine image capture." Dontonio however is not convinced that the video shows an otherworldly object. "I am leaning toward the object being a captured commercial jet passing through the field of view," he said. "Because this is a time lapse video, the speed is an illusion, and the flight path of the object and the descending appearance are likely an illusion of perspective, as well."[!gad]Volcanic activity in the region has been the subject of great media interest due to its proximity to Mexico City and this latest footage is not the first to show a strange object descending in to the crater.

Mexico's media company, Televisa, monitors any daily activity around the volcano, which is about 40 miles south of Mexico City. Last November, video images showed what appeared to be a brightly lit, cigar-shaped object plunging into the top of Popocatepetl.

Again? Blimey they keep on doing that dont they? Ive seen many vids over the years with similar deion, heres another Neither that or this video is a UFO. They are probably airplanes. If you watch closely you can see the videos are sped up, the stars moving fast, therefor the video is a timelapse, and the object in the videos is actually moving quiet slow. It's also flying in a direction where the volcano is obstructing it's view, giving the illusion that it's flying into the volcano.

sorry, to confirm, I was talking more about what is it that confirms these observations as 'plasma'? generally speaking, nothing confirms them, it's just about the probability factor, they're hypothetically put forth as a prosaic explanation for the given observations... we do know that plasmas are real and exhibit said characteristics... hence there is a basis to entertain them, but nothing confirms it; the data is simply insufficient to reach any conclusions... that's why i was merely highlighting / asking about unstructured plasmas in light of seeder's comment i.e. solid objects entering cl...

Oh and Id agree too, 'anything' - other than UFO's diving into a volcano, which just happens to be solid rock and not hollow!! hey seeder, just to clarify... my earlier comment, 'portal to the hollow earth' was tongue-in-cheek...

just to add that it appears that only once in the cases quoted did waepons malfunction, the sidewinder missile ceased functioning. Also noted that the 25 military (US) versus 2 commercial (US) is quite an interesting stat IMO. Especially if we were to use this as a percentage versus number of flights for both private and military....you would have expected the commercial figure to be much higher and the percentages to be similar allowing for a fair deviation mathematically.

The post you quoted of mine was in fact me being sarcastic. I also pointed out everything you just wrote, earlier, Reading is good! I have quite some experience with these webcams and have see...
