What is this in the sky in the Popocatépetl volcano webcam?
I check various webcams daily...One of them being the Popo Volcano in Mexico...Tonight I am seeing a bright star in the sky...Never seen it on this webcam...Went outside here in SoCal and did not see anything similar although there is light cloud cover...It's probably nothing and this is my first post here so be kind please:)

Edit to add...
I am not completely fluent in Spanish but I do believe it says that the view shows the north side...This would mean it is facing south...

Interesting! If this isn't fake or tampered with, it looks to be something that shouldn't be there. Its not a asteroid or comet, we know that. Anyone's guess.

Yeah, it's probably nothing major but it is interesting like you said...
Also,I could be wrong but it appears to be smaller than when I first noticed it...

ok, so it's not the moon, and it's moving slowly to the left, but much faster than the stars in the background.

Doesn´t even look like it´s in the sky.
Some part from a lantern maybe..

I've got 50 pics so far, it's moving in a straight line at a steady but slow speed towards the right.

The volcano is erupting...It has been for months...
I did not catch any screenshots...really wish I would have caught the very first one I saw because it appeared to have a very short tail...My only guess is that it may have been a comet but chances are slim...

This is the same volcano that was featured in a few youtube clips where a ufo is shown going into and leaving...

I have 2 pics where a beam is visible...
If any member cares to see and maybe post them up here let me know and they will be sent to you asap...

Want to add that of the 15 or so screen caps that I have, that big bright star is nowhere to be found...

Same as last night, it has move out of the pic to the right and is no longer visible...
Also, I saw the title to a thread briefly today that went along the lines of 'what are these red stars' or something to that effect...
I am seeing what I perceive as red stars on this cam
