A video has popped up on YouTube which purportedly shows a UFO zigzagging over the Yellowstone volcano.
The choppy video, which is more than 3 minutes in length, appears to show a metallic object in the sky. A bright light emerges from the object for a few seconds and then it speeds off into the distance. The video was taken on June 9, but only recently uploaded to the video-sharing site.

The famed Yellowstone volcano has become of interest in recent months, especially over the summer when more than 400 earthquakes hit in one week near the volcano.
“This is the highest number of earthquakes at Yellowstone within a single week in the past five years, but is fewer than weekly counts during similar earthquakes swarms in 2002, 2004, 2008 and 2010,” scientists explained in a June statement to the Star Valley Independent.
