For Mysterious "Appearances" On Screen

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I tuned into Cenepred Volcano Cam starting January 1st 2002 and began to
witness with others the most extraordinary display on the screen. I had
never seen anything quite like this before -- thought I had seen an
occasional dark or white rounded object moving across the screen on this
videocam -- but this was very different.

First I noticed a white rounded area with what appeared to be a dark
area right above and below it -- at the top right part of the screen. It
remained more or less in this position for several days appearing fairly
close to the camera.

Soon thereafter closing in on 1pm CST, a couple of white 'streaks'
appeared in the distance to the right of Mt. Popo -- both seeming to
move toward the volcano keeping the same distance between them.

The camera that has been set up to monitor the volcano is a joint
project between Institutos de Geofísica e Ingeniería de la UNAM
and the US Geological Survey and sends a still picture to the screen
every minute or two. The white streaks in the background certainly were
changing in position relative to the mountain volcano and appeared to
move right over it and curved toward the camera.

A white oblong "object" with what appears to be dark areas on the top
and bottom of it also -- then appeared from the top of the screen to the
left of the apparently stationary object. Over a few minutes this object
'from above' moved beneath the stationary object at a diagonal angle and
then moved off screen.

I decided to tune in to CENEPRED Volcano Cam the following days and
captured and saved the action at random not knowing what would be
showing up later. As if the action of the first day was not enough
to baffle the mind -- the march across the skies over Mt. Popo continued
over several days. And it was the SAME march!

Recently I brought out these old captures and decided to do a little
study -- and lo and behold -- I had some pictures taken at relatively
the same time to compare.

On three separate days, at about 1 pm CST until 1:30 pm -- (1) the white
'streaks' moved over Mt. Popo and (2) the white oblong object moved
under the stationary white spherical object.

Not only that -- but they were **synchronized**. In the shots taken by
the camera at 13:03 pm, 13:15 pm, and 13:23 pm (all within a minute or
so of one another), my captures of the objects show them to be in the
same almost *exact positions* on January 3, 6 and 8 at those times.

This could be an most important discovery and needs further
investigation to explain what is happening in these camera shots. I have
not seen nor any of my cohorts seen anything remotely resembling this
particular screen activity before or since this time.

We certainly may have aerial robots (of the human or 'other' variety)
here synchronized on a GPS or other Grid system perhaps monitoring the
volcano. This does appear to be organized activity...but the question
remains..."who's"?
