An odd video from Mexico seemingly shows a UFO exiting out of the country's largest volcano. The curious piece of footage came to light by way of a webcam that watches over the massive Popocatepetl volcano near Mexico City. Since the location has long been suspected of being some kind of alien base by UFO enthusiasts, the online stream is a popular haunt for anomaly hunters hoping to catch of glimpse of something out of the ordinary from the comfort of their own home.

This past Monday evening, one such diligent viewer noticed a puzzling moment when a rather sizeable glowing orb emerged from the crater of the volcano and flew up into the sky. Sharing the video on his website, indefatigable UFO researcher Scott Waring declared that "this is just further proof that the alien base does exist and that the aliens living there have very large spacecraft." Based on the size of the volcano's crater, he theorized that the potential UFO was approximately 165 feet across.

Waring went on to assert that the footage constitutes "100% proof that aliens use this volcano to enter a base deep below" and postulated that perhaps there is a clandestine agreement in place between ETs and the Mexican government allowing for this to occur. As one can imagine, not everyone is convinced that the video shows an alien spaceship. Some skeptical viewers have suggested that perhaps the 'UFO' is merely an airplane taking off behind the volcano and made to look like it is emerging from the magma due to the perspective of the webcam.
