Horse-Shaped UFO spotted near Erupting Volcano Colima in Mexico (Video)

Mexican authorities are investigating after a horse-shaped UFO was spotted close to volcano Colima which was erupting.

A webcam has captured the moment a horse-shaped UFO was seen hovering into view out of nowhere as volcano Colima, 300 miles west of Mexico City, spewed out smoke. The object appeared to have two legs, vanished moments later.

According to Dailymail, witness Loyola Quintanilla Rosas, 24, said: “When I first saw it, I thought it looked like a horse. It had a very large body and seemed to be an animal. It had a thin top, a bulging middle and two extremities at the bottom. But the legs weren't moving so it clearly wasn't a modern-day Pegasus and it sure as hell wasn't a bird.”

UFO hunters have said they think it could be an alien vessel and made reference to previous sightings at volcanic eruptions in Mexico. Last November, a 'blurry, white object' was caught on camera flying around the same volcano.

Alien enthusiast Eufrasio Gonzales Carrasco, 35, said: “There has been a fair bit of activity around these volcanoes and this latest sighting just adds to the mystery. There must be something about volcanoes that draws extra-terrestrials to them.”

A spokesman from Mexico's Civil Protection of the Ministry of Interior said: “It is most likely a drone of some sort. We are looking into it.”
