A UFO sighting in Mexico has drawn much skepticism from experts, after if it was broadcasted by Mexican multimedia company Televisa.

Televisa had a fixed camera pointed to the volcano to monitor its activities. The news company had then allegedly filmed a UFO crashing down into the crater of Popocatepeti volcano, Mexico's second highest peak. The video is available here. You may also play the media below.

The mysterious object, reportedly 1km long and 200m wide, has been closely observed by astronomy experts. Here is a round-up of the experts' comments on the filmed UFO sighting:

Pixel variation could be observed around the object. This could mean the video was either defective or had been tampered with, said International Astronomical Union member Margarita Rosado.

"There's a tendency to quickly sign off on the video's legitimacy. The problem is that, at this moment, we don't have an exact pedigree detailing the video's original source and the hands through which it has passed... My gut instinct also tells me there is something 'off' with the image of the object," said former FBI Special Agent Ben Hansen in an interview with Huffington Post.

"[It was] a video error, given that there was no visible interaction between the object and the atmosphere and gases emanating from the volcano," said William Lee, a member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences. Mr. Lee's response was featured in a translated ABC Mexico report on Inexplicata (Hispanic UFOlogy blog).

"I believe it to be far beyond the crater and, in fact, to be a meteor captured on the successive [video] frames... The object in the video appears to be oblong in shape and cylindrical, but is simply trailed because it's moving so fast. It also appears that the video is a compilation of exposures that might be perhaps half-a-second per frame, for example," Marc Dantonio of FX Models told Huffington Post.

UFO So Impossible?

Considering the opinions raised by experts, the captured image is either a mistake or a misinterpreted image.

A professor has also reached out to ABC Mexico to clarify that Televisa is not the only organization monitoring the Popocatepeti volcano with a fixed camera at the time.

Prof. Ana Luisa Cid wrote: "(I)t is worth noting that it was recorded by the TELEVISA camera (not the same as the one used by CENAPRED). I am pointing this out because some researchers have published erroneous reports, thinking it is the same camera with the same specifications. This information was directly provided to me by Ing. Gilberto Castelán, responsible for monitoring maintenance and instrumentation."

The staff from CENAPRED, Mexico's National Center for Prevention of Disasters, has not reported any unusual sighting in their video.
