As smoke begins billowing from the crater a light can be seen streaking across the screen from left to right behind the volcano.
Many netizens thought the light was a UFO, such as ‘omarhary87’ who said: “Before the explosion everything was normal, but I did see a UFO after that.”
‘metalsfero’ added: “The media and idiot scientists will say that it is a meteorite, idiots”.
‘audikon’ commented: “We all know that it (the volcano) is an alien headquarters, they only “close” the door to scare us so that nobody goes there”.
Other netizens commented that the light seen in the volcano could be a shooting star or even a meteorite, such as ‘carlosestradaz’ who said: “It is a star, not a UFO.”
Webcams Mexico, an organisation which shares live camera feeds from the country, reportedly said that the light seen in the video was a plane.
The authorities have asked citizens not to approach the volcano as it remains in the alert in yellow phase two.
