WATCH: Fears 'aliens cause eruptions' after cigar-shaped UFO targets active volcano AGAIN

FIRST it was the Sun, then International Space Station (ISS), but now those pesky UFOs won't stop visiting active or erupting volcanoes...allegedly.

An eerie series of lights and objects, including a long cigar-shaped anomaly, were filmed near the active Popocatepetl volcano in Mexico which has got UFO hunters excited that it confirms their theory that aliens monitor or even CAUSE geothermal activity on Earth.

The strange circular orbs were captured on the cameras of Webcams Mexico (Webcams de Mexico) floating around the Popocatepetl volcano on the border between central Mexico’s states of Puebla and Morelos.

A video of the incident which was broadcast on webcamsdemexico.com was uploaded onto social media platforms and has had thousands of hits.

The uncanny appearance of the lights came at the same time that the volcano recorded four explosions accompanied by gas and vapour which was scattered by the wind.

Any clues there then?

Sceptics say the high number of UFOs reportedly filmed during volcanic eruptions and solar flares of the Sun are simply strange shapes being ejected during these volatile periods, and should not automaticvally be recorded as alien space craft.

But the 18,000-foot volcano which lies 40 miles south of Mexico City and has become a popular place among UFO hunters.

UFO hunter Paul Seaburn said: "sightings of UFOs around volcanic eruptions and earthquakes is a common occurrence.

"Why do we see so many UFOs near volcanoes, earthquakes and nuclear power plants? Are we being watched? Controlled? Cared for? Warned?"

Reports of a cigar shaped object seen over the peak emerged earlier this year.

In 2014, a light that appeared to be a flying object circled around the volcano and then disappeared inside.

Then in 2013, a cigar-shaped object appeared to fly straight over the crater.

Footage from 2012 showed another cigar-shaped light going straight into the crater and not re-appearing.
It is not uncommon for UFOs to be sited around active volcanoes, with one of the popular exclamations being that it might be people using drones to get close-up footage of the ash plume.
That clearly would not explain objects flying into the crater...but if these are UFOs seen near the Sun and darting inside volcanoes then the aliens have got their hands on some pretty durable materials to make their craft from.
