[Music] the publica tal UFOs for Millennia the sheer power and unpredictability of volcanoes have captivated human imagination and awe yet one volcano in Mexico has stirred curiosity for an entirely different reason UFOs po pedal an active volcano has become the f Point numerous unusual sightings prompting many to wonder is Mexico's smoking Mountain a gathering spot for extraterrestrial visitors the bulk of UFO activity near pual coincides with volcanic eruptions on January 8th 2023 the volcano erupted launching colossal rocks and lava thousands of feet into the sky among the witnesses was Lou Gara a local photographer who
captured images of the dramatic event however it wasn't just the eruption that G's attention amid the plume of smoke he noticed a massive disc floating seemingly unaffected by the chaotic forces surrounding it initially Gara dismissed it as a trick of the light but the disc remained stationary despite the tumultuous environment from G's vantage point it appeared as though the disc was using the smoke as a cover attempting to obscure itself from view G's sighting is merely one of a string of unexplained phenomena at poal in February 2015 peculiar lights were seen seen in the Smoke
during an eruption though no solid object was visible the light seemed to emerge from Nowhere undisturbed by the volcanic activity then in September 2023 several orbs were observed flying out of the volcano's mouth which sits 17,800 ft above sea level these lights baffled hundreds of onlookers many of whom speculated that UFOs might use the volcano as a base however this particular sighting had a plausible explanation Elon musk's Starling satellites their organized deployment patterns have led to multiple mistaken UFO reports worldwide popal is not alone in its association with UFO sightings in 2018 footage Unearthed by
self-styled UFO expert Scott wearing pervertedly showed an object flying out of Italy's tromol volcano during an eruption wearing contended that the object was too large and distant to be a bird and that an airplane or helicopter would not risk flying so close to an active eruption he even suggested that shambo's Perpetual activity made it an ideal location for a UFO base so our volcano's truly hot beds of UFO activity the mystery persists despite numerous sightings and compelling footage definitive answers remain elusive as the fiery behemat continue to erupt they keep their secrets close leaving us
to wonder what or who might be visiting these volatile [Music] Peaks A well-dressed body Mount Etna towering majestically over the horizon of Sicily Italy is renowned not only for its imposing slopes and smoldering Summit but also for the intricate Labyrinth of caves at harbers Within These caves in a Twist that no one anticipated the Guardia de finanza Sicily's local Customs police unit uncovered a chilling mystery a mummified body in 2021 Sicilian and German Alpine Rescue units embarked on a joint training operation on et's treacherous slopes during their practice of cave rescue techniques a local Shepherd
guiding the operation emerged from one of the caves in a panic breathlessly he informed the assembled police and rescue units that he had found a dead body anticipating the sight of a recently deceased individual the officers were astonished to find a mummified corpse preserved for decades The Mummy wore a striped shirt tie hiking boots feathered cap and raincoat he appeared to roughly 50 years old at the time of his death clutching a handful of lra coins obsolete since 2002 nearby a newspaper dated 1978 lay next to his body the absence of additional Clues left investigators
baffled pondering how this man had met his end in the cave over 40 years [Music] ago Mount Etna with its perilous terrain has a history of disappearances it is plausible that the man embarked on a casual hike only to become lost in the cavernous Maze and meet a tragic fate however one puzzling detail complicates this Theory the man's body bore no signs of injury but he exhibited severe facial deformities did his facial structure compromise his breathing sealing his fate in the thin Mountain Air or had he perhaps chosen this remote spot for a final dignified
exit from a world that had shown him little kindness The Mummy joined a long list of those who have vanished into the volcano's MAA leaving behind only questions and conjecture in death as perhaps in life the man in the striped shirt and feathered cap remains a [Music] mystery the final fate of David Johnston on May 18th 1980 at 8:32 a.m. Mount St Helens the Crown Jewel of the Cascade Range erupted with a fury that would reverberate across the United States the explosion shot a column of Ash 880,000 ft into the sky and obliterated the volcano's

that a major eruption was imminent as seismic activity escalated Johnston volunteered to monitor the situation from one of the closest observation posts to the weakened Northern face coldw 2 Johnston believed that to protect others from the wrath of nature scientists sometimes had to face Danger headon fully aware of the potential for a lateral blast of lethal hot gases and liquid rock Johnston stationed himself at Cold Water 2 for days on the Fateful morning of May 18th a 5.1 magnitude earthquake triggered the main eruption sending a massive lateral blast directly toward Johnston's post with only seconds
to act before the pyroclastic flow consumed him Johnston sent out a final desperate radio message quote Vancouver Vancouver This Is It Vancouver is the transmitter on his transmission though blocked by the eruption Cloud was relayed by Jerry Martin a volunteer ham radio operator for the radio amateur civil emergency service Martin was stationed a few miles north of Johnston and broadcast his final moments the uh camper and the car nor to the south of me is cover me to get out of here shortly after Johnston's observation post was obliterated Martin 2 was consumed by the same

this Expedition would lead to an encounter both bizarre and transformative Ballard was in search of the great white Brotherhood a mythical assembly of omniscent beings revered in theosophical and New Age circles his specific Quest was for the Brotherhood of Mount Shasta a branch rumored to reside on the volcanic Mountain slopes while navigating the rugged terrain Ballard met a mysterious stranger heading in the opposite direction the man introduced himself as St Germain what transpired next would spawn a peculiar religious movement and further cement Mount sher's reputation as an Nexus of the supernatural according to Ballard St
Germaine a member of the Brotherhood guided him and his wife to their secretive Enclave this encounter and subsequent Revelations became the foundation of the I am activity a new religious movement professing a unique blend of Christian mysticism Al's proclamations which he asserted were direct Transmissions from the Brotherhood form the core teachings of the I am activity this sect claimed that a select group of enlightened Masters had transcended the cycle of reincarnation that ins snared ordinary Humanity with Jesus Christ reigning Supreme among them the movement further claimed that St Germain had a hand in drafting the
Declaration of Independence and that the United States was destined to lead the world to Enlightenment contingent upon the widespread acceptance of the I am teachings despite Ballard's death in 1939 the movement continued to be led by the St Germaine Foundation which operates a reading room in Mount Shasta California the group host an annual gathering at the mountain every August Mount shasta's Allure extends Beyond The Peculiar narratives of the IM activity the indigenous clath people recount that the mountain is the domain of the spirit Chief skill who descended from the Heavens to battle Lao the underworld

and The Unexplained Mars volcano holes Earth is home to many mysterious volcanoes but it's not the only planet with these geological wonders Mars the red planet also boasts numerous volcanoes including Olympus Ms which Rises nearly 14 m above its surface recently scientists have been intrigued not just by their size but by the peculiar holes dotting their slopes on August 15th 2022 NASA's Mars reconnaissance Orbiter captured images of small holes on several Martian volcanoes these pits some just a few meters across are part of a series of features scattered across the slopes of large volcanoes in
the thus region including the extinct volcano are camons scientists find these formations interesting for several reasons one compelling possibility is that these pits could lead to immense Caverns carved by ancient lava flows if robots or future Rovers explore these entrances they might discover vast Subterranean Chambers such Caverns could offer shelter for Mars's extreme conditions including severe temperatures high radiation levels and frequent meteor strikes for scientists considering a martian Colony these under spaces might be the safest option for research or habitation sites beyond the prospect of human habitation these Caverns hold potential astrobiological significance Mars has
shown evidence of past microbiol life if life persists today these Caverns could provide the most likely Refuge shielding organisms from the Hostile service environment the formation of these pits is tied to volcanic activity on Mars Lava Tubes formed by flowing lava beneath a solidified crust leave behind Long Hollow tunnels once the lava drains away when the roofs of these tubes collapse they create pits like those on our camons if the collapse occurs along the entire tube it forms a trench known as a r partial collapses result in scattered pits dotting the landscape these geological features
are not unique to Mars similar lava tubes and collapse pits exist on the Moon and Earth providing terrestrial analoges for scientists to study and compare the pits on Mars particularly those on its towering volcano offer a unique window into the planet's volcanic past and its potential to Harbor life as exploration continues these mysterious holes May unlock some of Mars's deepest Secrets offering insights into its geological history and the possibility of life beyond Earth could volcanoes around the world serve as secret UFO bases let me know in the comments as always thank you for watching Dark
