Aliens can get to Earth through a “wormhole” in a highly-active Mexican volcano, a Mexican journalist has insisted. Jaime Maussan said two UFOs casually flew into the Popocatepetl volcano in Mexico as its crater spewed lava high into the air. He said the volcano is serving as a gateway between two locations in space, allowing space travellers to enter one place from another, reported the Daily Star. He said that no object of human origin could enter a crater as the temperatures are as high as 1,000C.
