Mt. Popocateptl

How's this for Right Now?

Just received from Beyond Boundaries member Ruben Uriarte:

Hi Joyce:

Just spoke to our contact in Atlixco, Norberto Gil Salgado, on Saturday after hearing on the Art Bell Show that Mt. Popocateptl has sealed all vents and is about to blow big time. The report on Art Bell was that the volcano was about to erupt and that many people were very concerned that the situation would worsen. Well, I am happy to report that Norberto gave me an updated report live on his cell phone as he was standing in our usual location at the base of Mt. Popo - Mt. Popo October 1996remember where we filmed the barbell shaped UFO for Strange Universe in October of 1996? And this is where the local people go to watch the UFOs all all around the volcano nearly every day and night of the year! (The photograph on the right was taken during the October 1996 Beyond Boundaries Mexico Expedition) - Norberto was in that very same location looking right at Mt. Popo while he was talking to me via cell phone - He said that the volcano was just sending up ash as it always has and that they were not alarmed on any of the recent developments. Note: Beyond Boundaries just checked today on the latest photos of Mt. Popo and the smoke from the Mexico and Central America fires was so thick that no plume of lack of plume from Mt Popo could be seen in the photos. But that was the best they could do at the time because of the smoky conditions. Ruben goes on to remind us that Norberto serves as a member of the Mt. Popo or Atlixco Civil Defense team, and he would have been notified and busy in case of any emergency declared by volcanologists or the Mexican government. Also, Joyce, remember how close to the volcano Norberto's family lived when we visited them last year in Atlixco? He would have evacuated them immediately from the area and their home so close by if anyone had been notified of any immediate threat concerning eruption. We could also double check by calling our friends in the offices at the IMSS Metepec Atlixco resort for their volcano report to see if it is above the yellow alert.

Norberto went on to advise me that UFO sightings are continuing all around the volcano and that he even saw a plasma craft recently.

So, folks, we are hoping here in Texas that the Norberto report is the accurate one as we have been plagued with the smoke from the Mexican fires the last 2 weeks and we are getting very paranoid about our air and breathable oxygen supply. We don't need a volcano catastrophe and even more important than our Texas air purity are the poor squatter families living in cardboard shacks in the ditches beside the IMSS Resort which would serve as trails for molten lava as well as our wonderful friends in Atlixco.
