As the volcano spews out lava and ash, the UFO-shaped cloud is momentarily suspended above the inferno, before disappearing.

This incredible footage was taken at the Sangay volcano in the Morona Santiago province, Ecuador.

It was captured by the cameras monitoring the volcano from the ECU 911 Macas centre.

In the stunning video, a cone-shaped cloud can be seen forming over the peak of the volcano, hovering like a UFO.

The cloud then begins to shrink up towards the top of the volcano before disappearing as a thin trail of lava can be seen running down the volcano.

Local media report lava and aah have been emitted from the volcano this week.

The ECU 911 (Integrated Security Service) are monitoring the volcano along with the National Service of Risk and Emergency Management and the Geophysical Institute.

On July 29 this year, ash emission was registered from this volcano which caused a column measuring 2,000 metres (6,561 feet) in height over the level of the crater.

The Sangay volcano is located in the Real mountain range and it is one of the most active volcanoes in Ecuador.

Its eruptive activity has been constant since 1628.

This comes after researchers predicted where the next deadly volcano could strike, potentially killing thousands.

In the US, California has been marked as a volcano danger zone, being situated in the infamous Ring Of Fire.

Meanwhile, an Australia-based professor warned that an underground volcano could wipe-out Melbourne.
