But a UFO hunter claims infrared footage shows what the eye cannot see

A fleet of bright glowing UFOs has been recorded swarming around an active volcano in Mexico.

Strange footage reveals a group of orb-like flashing objects flying above Popocatépetl, which only recently erupted spewing ash two miles into the sky.

A 24 hour live stream of the volcano picked up the peculiar objects around midnight on June 19.

The eerie footage shows the white lights darting across the screen at night.

Webcams de Mexico, which monitors active volcanoes, released the mysterious video, and there has been no concrete proof over what the lights actually are.

UFO investigator Scott Brando claims such sights are usually just dust or flying insects which appear as glowing orbs, because the infrared cameras are sensitive to small light sources, reports Inquisitr.

Yet UFO hunter Scott C. Waring claimed the camera was picking up sights that the human eye was unable to notice.

The footage comes as Popocatépetl erupted back in May and April this year, spewing forth a massive plume of ash and smoke which caused Puebla International Airport to close.

The volcanic detritus then settled on the city and people had to travel in masks to avoid inhaling the fine grit.

Explosion: The footage comes as Popocatépetl has been filmed erupting multiple times this year

About 25 million people live within 62 miles of the crater of the 17,797-foot stratovolcano.

The volcano has erupted frequently over the years and has already seen activity multiple times in 2016.

There has been a close association with UFOs and volcanoes, harking back to ancient religious mythology that linked the mountains with sky gods.
