Hundred-Metre Object Reported Hovering Above Mount Etna; Author Fears for Alien Base
A UFO blogger says webcam footage from Sicily shows a motionless craft passing behind clouds near the volcano's crater, and suspects an outside threat.
MOUNT ETNA, SICILY, ITALY — A webcam recording of Mount Etna, on the east coast of Sicily, has been presented by a UFO blogger as evidence of a large unidentified craft hovering near the volcano's summit. The footage, according to the post, was captured on October 16, 2026.
The author, Scott C. Waring of UFO Sightings Daily, writes that he recorded 30 minutes of raw video from a public Skyline Webcams camera pointed at the volcano's northern side. He sped it up to 7 minutes 30 seconds and added several close-ups, one on the crater's mouth and others on the object as it passed behind clouds.
The object, Mr. Waring states, measures about 100 meters across and hovers in place. He urges readers not to overlook details he describes as incredibly significant to establishing that it is a genuine UFO. The post does not say how the size was measured, and offers no mundane explanation for the object.
The writer says he has not seen such craft over volcanoes in roughly ten years and asks why they have returned now. His own answer is that an alien base beneath or near the volcano may be in danger from an outside threat. He floats the possibility that the United States wishes to seize such a base, but judges it most likely an alien threat not of this planet.
The post gives no word from Italian authorities or volcanologists. Readers wishing to form their own view may consult the webcam, which the author links in his post.
