Marc Szeglat's Vulcane.net german site writes:

"Media reports are currently doing the rounds that the Nyiragongo volcano in Congo has erupted. Eyewitnesses describe high "flames" shooting out of the volcano. Photos show a red illuminated night sky above the volcano's flank. Many residents of the city of Goma are fleeing in panic towards Rwanda. They fear that a lava flow could reach the city and leave a new trail of devastation, as it last happened in 2002.

Local volcanologists have been warning for months that a flank eruption could occur. a team is on its way to the volcano to investigate the situation in more detail. According to initial statements by the researchers, there has not been a stronger earthquake. This would speak against a large fissure formation and the leakage of the lava lake, because such a process would have to be reflected on the seismometers, if there are any.

Some voices suggest that the eruption could also occur at the neighbouring volcano Nyamuragira. It last erupted in 2011 in the lower flank area. MIROVA detected a slightly increased thermal radiation with 1600 MW power yesterday, but new values should come in soon that would allow a more precise attribution.

Update 23.30: VAAC Toulouse reports volcanic ash at an altitude of 13700m. Nyiragongo is given as the point of origin. A first video shows a wide lava flow rapidly approaching inhabited areas. A road has already been interrupted. The pictures already speak for a leakage of the lava lake, but a confirmation is still pending"

Mama Etna goes 20th Paroxysm :wow:
22-23 May 2021 (count since 16 Feb 2021)

Etna appears to have changed pace again... her heart is beating fast with paroxysms close to one another ! I have barely found any photos of the eruption yet... perhaps because Sicily was benched before the TV screens, watching Eurovision Song Festival, where Italy won first time after 30 years.

Vulcanologist Boris Behncke writes in a twitter

"latest paroxysm, on the late evening of 22 May 2021, produced nice lava fountains up to 500 m tall and a small lava flow on the upper southwest flank".

The first two videos give some background about the Mount Nyiragongo volcano and the present situation:
Nyiragongo Eruption Update; Mandatory Evacuations Issued; Lava Heading Towards Goma
GeologyHub
The Nyiragongo volcano started a large eruption on May 22nd, 2021. This eruption began after the breaching of a large lava lake near its summit. After a large evacuation, one of these flows of lava is now heading towards Goma. This flow of lava has already reached the airport, and may eventually reach lake Kivu. This video will discuss this volcano, and its current ongoing eruption.
DR Congo orders Goma evacuation after Mount Nyiragongo erupts
Al Jazeera English
A volcanic eruption near the city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo has forced thousands of people to flee for safety. At least five people died in a car crash in the panic. Neighbouring Rwanda has opened its border to let in those fleeing the eruption. Initially, scientists said the lava flow was heading away from Goma, but now they’ve warned that new fractures have put two million residents at risk. Al Jazeera’s Laura Burdon-Manley reports.
One channel includes more live cameras of volcanoes in one show. The volcanoes camera view change over time. They also list the latest earthquakes which apparently are read by text to speech function as they occur.

It is quite interesting to scroll through the live cameras of some of the volcanoes. Here is Etna: Volcano Etna Italy
And Iceland: Live volcanic eruption in Iceland!
They only go back about 12 hours.
 
Having followed Volcanoes Live, Worldwide it turned out I had to look up the meaning of flight level and what it means for the interpretation of the information provided. The conclusion is at the end.

By way of explanation, here is a screen-shot: Screenshot 2021-05-23 143200.png
In the lower-left corner, there is a list of ash warnings issued for planes. Using Subancaya as an example it says "Sabancaya (FL270)" FL270 means flight level 270. About flight level the Wiki says:

In aviation and aviation meteorology, flight level (FL) is an aircraft's altitude at standard air pressure, expressed in hundreds of feet. The air pressure is computed assuming an International Standard Atmosphere pressure of 1013.25 hPa (29.92 inHg) at sea level, and therefore is not necessarily the same as the aircraft's actual altitude, either above sea level or above ground level. [...] Flight levels[2] are described by a number, which is the nominal altitude, or pressure altitude, in hundreds of feet, while being a multiple of 500 ft, therefore always ending in 0 or 5. Therefore, a pressure altitude of 32,000 ft (9,800 m) is referred to as "flight level 320".
To convert feet to meters one can use a converter or calculator (1 foot is 0.3048 m).
Since the planes work with pressure altitude, FL270 means 27,000 feet above where the medium pressure at mean sea level of 1013.25 hPa is situated. In case an area is experiencing a high-pressure system, the mean sea level will have a pressure that is higher than 1013.25 hPa. As the pressure reduces with altitude, one would then encounter 1013.25 hPa up in the air. The reverse is the case when there is a low-pressure system passing over an area.

While "Sabancaya (FL270)" indicates 27,000 feet above mean sea level pressure, one would, ignoring the few hundred feet of difference in case of unusual air pressure, need to subtract the altitude of the volcano, to find out how high the ash is forecasted to reach above the volcano. The Wiki for Sabancaya, informs us that:
Sabancaya is an active 5,976-metre-high (19,606 ft) stratovolcano in the Andes of southern Peru, about 70 kilometres (43 mi) northwest of Arequipa. It is considered part of the Central Volcanic Zone of the Andes, one of the three distinct volcanic belts of the Andes.
The above means that under normal conditions the Sabancaya summit is located at around FL196 and therefore that the difference up to FL270 is about 76 flight levels or 7600 feet or roughly 2320 meters, the clearance we would need if we wish to pass above the volcano.

Similar calculations would need to be done with the other warnings and volcanoes, but the bottom line is that a warning of FL270 does not mean a worse eruption than a warning above another but much lower volcano with only the number FL145 attached.
 
First a minor correction:
The above means that under normal conditions the Sabancaya summit is located at around FL196 and therefore that the difference up to FL270 is about 76 flight levels or 7600 feet or roughly 2320 meters, the clearance we would need if we wish to pass above the volcano.
From FL196-FL270 there is only a difference of 74FL so it is 7400 feet corresponding to 2260 meters.

A channel called Morning D.E.W. publishes weekly volcano activity report with news from around the globe, mixed with a few slots for advertisement. For this week there is:
Nyiragongo Volcano ERUPTS / 42 Active and Erupting Volcanoes / Volcano Activity Report Week 21
 
Mama Etna goes 20th Paroxysm :wow:
22-23 May 2021 (count since 16 Feb 2021)

Etna appears to have changed pace again... her heart is beating fast with paroxysms close to one another !
On Volcanoes Worldwide, the live feed from Etna showed a new paroxysm. Here is a screenshot from a live feed:

I guess there are many other volcanoes that could show similar pictures if only the live cameras were close enough and maintained. In many locations, one could imagine cameras would have to be protected not to disappear.
 
One question is if an eruption of a volcano could be induced by a weapon?
This session mentions that earthquakes can be induced:
(L) I have a question. I've been waiting for somebody to ask it, but since nobody is going to ask it, I want to ask it: Was the Haiti earthquake an induced earthquake, or was it totally natural?

A: (Planchette swirls on board) INDUCED! Bet you didn't expect that, did you?!

Q: (L) Frankly, I didn't. Because I've already gone on record saying it wasn't. I just poo-pooed the whole idea as too far out there. (laughter) So now I've gotta...

(Joe) Well, it was the Russians who said that, wasn't it?

A: No!

Q: (Joe) Didn't you tell us the Russians reported that?

(L) The question I want to ask is, how do they induce earthquakes? (To Ark) How do you think they induce earthquakes? (Joe) Space-based satellite

(Ark) Well, just search the internet! (laughter) Yeah, it's on the internet. You create special waves that go into the earth and propagate in the right direction...

(L) I don't believe it. They don't have enough power to do that.

(Joe) I want to know who induced it?

A: U.S.

Q: (Joe) At the government level, or super-secret nonsense?

A: Secret gov.

Q: (L) And how did they do this? Was this from some kind of waves that Ark is talking about?

A: Close. And notice that no one is arguing with them right now!

Q: (L) In other words, you've got something that can do that, nobody's gonna mess with you.

(Ark) But the main question is, did they really want to induce it in the neighborhood of Haiti, or it was a mistake?

A: Yes, the prep was done.

Q: (Andromeda) So they intentionally did it to Haiti.

(Ark) What I would do, I would use a submarine and go near the fault, and do the job using these submarines as a so to say amplifiers for something. There are these faults under the ocean. It's enough to move this fault in the right direction with the right frequency, and you get it.

A: Too dangerous that way because the pulses would also destroy the sub. Better to use triangulated space-based weapons.

Q: (Belibaste) Why did they target Haiti specifically?

A: Close to South America. Convenient, oil, other factors of imperialistic nature.

Q: (Andromeda) Was it like a test?

A: No.

Q: (Burma Jones) Not a test, so they've used this thing a lot before?

(Joe) They used it on the Columbia.

A: Once or twice.

Q: (Joe) Used on the space shuttle.

(Psyche) That's why Chavez was so sure.

(Ark) It's probably much easier for the island than on the mainland...

(L) Yeah, because you've got separation with the ocean bed and different strata. It would be too uncontrollable if you started zapping a fault on a large land body.

(Andromeda) Like California?

(Joe) When they said, "notice how no one is arguing with them now", does that mean that most major nations in the world are aware that this was a...

A: Yes

Q: (Joe) Good way to shut people up.

A: Spy vs. Spy
In this video from January 2015, there is allegedly an example of a volcano going off right after it was hit by a beam of light:
Someone Has Just Reported That Something Massive Just Caused This Volcano To Erupt
Unexplained Mysteries

Someone has just reported that something massive just caused this Volcano to erupt. Today, we take a look at what just happened to this volcano. Yesterday, an interesting video started to show up on various online groups. It shows the Sakurajima Volcano erupting, however online users started to notice that something seemed off about the footage. According to the website that monitors this volcano, it states the following "Sakurajima is one of the most monitored and observed volcanoes in Japan... However after online users slowed down the live cam and zoomed in, they were able to see...
The three attached photos show the date 2020-12-17 at 19:59:27; (beam) 19:59:29 (eruption begins) and 19:59:36 (more full eruption and possibly a second beam).
In the video, the person describes the response of the sceptics, which say it was just a camera issue. Whether this example is real or not, one could also claim that if one can help earthquakes about then why not volcanoes. While what is seen is a beam of light, the electromagnetic spectrum is mostly invisible and many other types of beams could be used. Is it possible that some powers in the world have experimented with activating volcanoes? If so, one wonders how much they play around.

M4.7 quake reported in Rawanda. I think it belongs in this thread because the reports are linking it to the activity at Mount Nyiragongo volcano in DR Congo. One seismologist is i think saying that it may be even closer to the volcano but the closest seismometre is in Rwanda - something like that.

I prefer more Laura's questions about the cause of the volcanic eruption:
November 24, 1994
Frank and Laura

[...]

Q: (L) Can you tell us about this recent volcanic eruption? What was the cause?

A: "Heating up" of earth.

Q: (L) What is causing it to heat up?

A: Vibrational frequency changes.

Q: (L) What is the source of these vibrational frequency changes?

A: Oncoming wave as we have told you before.

Q: (L) This oncoming wave, is this a wave which is so large or so vast that its effects are felt many years in advance of its absolute arrival point?

A: All waves in nature have a "contract" phase.

Q: (L) Does that mean like just before a wave comes up on shore it kind of sucks everything out?

A: Yes.

Q: (L) So we are in the sucking back phase {demonstrates with hand motion and sound effects.}

A: Cute analogy.

Interesting observation from dutchsinse the other day regarding a large plume of moisture that apparently originated at ground level in Southern California, Mojave Desert also suggests possible seismic activity to follow — perhaps related to recent Tahoe activity?


From the YT description:
Premiered May 26, 2021

View the event live still on RADAR right now as of 1215am CT May 27, 2021: https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad...

Edwards AFB Nexrad RADAR station has detected a giant burst of moisture (several miles wile, not a geyser) coming from a volcanic complex in the Mojave desert of Southern California on a "clear night" with no precipitation visible to the human eye.

This burst of moisture has currently (as of 10pm PST May 26, 2021),sent a cloud of moisture up from the floor of the Mojave desert, next to Pisgah volcano up to an altitude of almost 15,000 feet (certainly up to 10K feet).

This is not dust, a bomb blast, or a rain storm. It starts at actual physical ground level (2000ft), it shows as moisture appearing on a clear night, and accumulation amounts of up to 0.1mm of actual precipitation. Thus ruling out explosions, dust storms, or bugs of any kind. The area now covered by the plume is almost the whole Mojave desert.

This is not an eruption of ash or steam, but rather some kind of miles wide steam release , maybe not even visible from ground level except for major haze or humidity. Nothing visible showing, it appears as a "clear night" on Infrared.

No heat signature, thus the steam that was released must have been "cool" by the time it reached ground level.

The large cloud of *whatever it is* has spread currently now over a good portion of the Mojave desert, and even became visible as cloud tops from the LA nexrad radar (as shown in the video).

Wonder what the moisture could have been if not water vapor? 🤔
 
A search for UFOs in this thread revealed limited results. In an older session, there is an indication that at least one volcano serves as a window area.
A: Yes, Many UFOs in Mexico. Cuernavaca is Earth's most intense window area.

Q: Why is that?

A: Complicated, but magnetic/volcanic influences contribute to the presence of a supervortex...

Q: (L) Well, if we can't take any side trips, what is the best thing for me and the girls to do while Ark is in the lectures?

A: Explore audio/visual opportunities as in data available for perusal. Biblioteca.

Q: (T) You will have to keep a close eye on the girls so they don't wander off...

A: They won't.

Q: Have we covered the subject sufficiently? (T) What can they do to protect themselves in the middle of a massive UFO vortex?

A: Awareness.


Q: (T) Who knows, you may actually see some!

A: Suggest you do as Mexicans do, and be "camera-ready."
It is not clear if similar conditions are present at other volcanoes. I did a general search for ufo volcano but found that naming a particular volcano and adding ufo or ovni (for Spanish) was more helpful. Here is a video from Etna, that shows a light followed by a volcanic outburst.

Screenshot 2021-05-29 120222.png

Screenshot 2021-05-29 120306.png
There are several videos for the Sakurajima volcano in Japan and the Popocatépetl in Mexico. Some videos call what they see a ufo, though some appear similar to satellites, or a reflection from the lens. In one video they say an aircraft can not go through a volcanic cloud, but what if the "ufo" just was far behind? Even with this much scepticism, there seem to be some recordings that are a little harder.

And is it possible that a volcano could attract electrically charged fragments similar to what happened to a fertilizer plant?
Q: [...] (L) So we didn't even ask anything about the fertilizer explosion. So, ask! (Perceval) What caused the Waco fertilizer plant explosion?

A: Information overload in the form of a small comet fragment with a massive electrical charge.

Q: (Perceval) There was a fire burning before the explosion. What caused that fire?

A: First fragment.
