Breathtaking Meteor Fireball Passes Over Erupting Volcano Leading To UFO Rumours [VIDEO]

A flying fireball flew past the erupting Turrialba volcano in Costa Rica causing an uproar among the gossip mongers. The brief but spectacular sight was rumored to be a UFO visit.

As mentioned by Mirror Turrialba is one of the biggest volcanoes in Costa Rica and is under scrupulous monitoring by National University's Volcanology and Seismology Research Institute. It was on Tuesday night at around 10:22 pm local time, when an observatory camera caught a shooting star passing over the volcano while it was erupting. Despite it being not a major eruption for the 12,533 feet high volcano, the rare combination garnered tremendous buzz and global attention.

The flying fireball is believed to be a meteor flying around 3100 miles above the sea level. Though it appears that the space rock disappeared within the cloud of ash coming out of the volcano soon after being seen.

An interesting take on the event by Mail Online mentions the rumors of UFO sighting. According to them a similar event that took place at the Colima volcano in Mexico, an UFO like object was spotted. It was allegedly transporting "someone or something" into what can be assumed as a base right beneath the volcano.

While the volcano was up in flames for quite some time, the mysterious object appeared to be nearing the volcano and after the alleged delivery of the mysterious "package" hid in the cloud of smoke, dust and flames onto the other side and gradually disappeared in the night sky.

Reportedly a member of the Costa Rican Astronomy Association Victor Fung termed it as a meteoric object only smaller in size. "It has all the appearance of being a meteor of a size of a grain of dust. The shooting stars are pebbles the size of a grain of sand. As they move at high-speed and enter the atmosphere, they burn and we see the result," the expert concluded.

The trailblazer over the Costa Rican volcano has given the scientific, astronomical and media world a topic of endless speculations while the common public is more than happy seeing and sharing the stunning video again and again.
