A recent sighting of a UFO—officially referred to as a UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon)—has captured attention in Mexico after a mysterious object was filmed hovering over the crater of Popocatépetl Volcano.
According to The Mirror, surveillance footage shows a glowing, unidentified object circling above the smoking volcano crater before rapidly departing, sparking widespread fascination.
UFO expert Jaime Maussan has previously described Popocatépetl as a “interdimensional gateway”, a portal in space-time that allows extraterrestrial travelers to traverse the cosmos. Combined with the latest footage, this claim has intrigued many science fiction enthusiasts.
Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), or UAPs, are objects of unknown origin or nature observed in the sky. The term UAP is now officially used to cover all unexplained phenomena, not limited to airborne objects.
While some speculate these sightings could be extraterrestrial technology or time-travel devices from the future, skeptics argue they may simply be atmospheric phenomena, military craft, or hoaxes.
Many UFO encounters remain unexplained, from the Phoenix Lights to the mysterious aerial objects over Washington, keeping public interest in extraterrestrials alive. Recently, Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has drawn attention with his study of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, which he suggests could be an alien spacecraft. Loeb even noted it might approach Earth closely between November 21 and December 5, potentially for unknown purposes.
Even Elon Musk weighed in, suggesting the object could indeed be a spaceship, and emphasized he would reveal any evidence of alien life publicly, adding that he would never commit suicide under suspicious circumstances.
With the combination of Popocatépetl’s UFO sighting and interstellar anomalies like 3I/ATLAS, curiosity about extraterrestrial visitors continues to grow worldwide.
