On February 3rd, 2023, mysterious lights were captured on video near the Popocatépetl volcano in Mexico, sparking speculation about their origin.
The lights, observed by webcams in the early morning hours, appeared as several luminous points moving in a line across the volcano's slopes. The brief appearance, estimated to have lasted several minutes, coincided with increased volcanic activity, including the expulsion of ash and incandescent material from the crater.
While some suggest the lights were simply hikers with flashlights, others propose natural phenomena like reflections of lava or atmospheric interactions with volcanic gases. However, the most intriguing theory involves unidentified flying objects (UFOs). The volcano has a history of unexplained lights, fueling speculation about extraterrestrial activity.
The event has rekindled interest in the enigmatic volcano, leaving more questions than answers. Authorities have yet to offer an official explanation, but they emphasize the importance of safety precautions due to ongoing volcanic activity.
