Never Before Seen Military Footage Shows UFO Flying Alongside US Spy Plane

This week on the first episode of their podcast, WEAPONIZED, documentary filmmaker Jeremy Corbell and investigative journalist George Knapp revealed an image of a UFO taken from footage by a US spy plane over Iraq.

The image was taken in April 2016 by a US intelligence-reconnaissance plane over the city of Mosul in northern Iraq.

The footage was part of an investigation conducted by the Pentagon’s since replaced Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), and was included as part of a classified briefing video on UFOs presented to several government agencies.

DailyMail.com understands that officials who assembled the briefing video believe the ‘orb’ was under intelligent control.

One intelligence source said the video was sent to the Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia, where imagery and electronic signals intelligence experts studied it for United States Central Command (CENTCOM).

Despite being analyzed and studied by intelligence experts for over six years, the incident remains unexplained.

“Here’s the very basics – it’s called the Mosul orb, it’s an image taken in Northern Iraq,” Corbell says on the podcast.

“This is in the UFO category within our intelligence community. This is an example of one of the UFOs that our military and intelligence community are looking at.

“It’s one of many images, this one is a still from a video. It’s a brief video, maybe four seconds, where this orb or metallic ball runs alongside a spy plane and it’s shown moving beside the plane without dropping altitude at all.

“This is within part of the conversation of our intelligence community, this is what they’re looking at.

“Isn’t it funny? UFOs are often reported in four basic shapes, you’ve got spheres, pyramids, cubes, and cigars. Very fundamental shapes, totally not aerodynamic at all.

“You’ve got a flying cube, a flying sphere? These shapes are not aerodynamic.

“This is one of the pieces of video and photographic evidence that is within the intelligence community, saying ‘this is a UFO, we caught one, what can we determine from it.'”

This UFO case is believed to have been part of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s (ODNI) Preliminary Assessment on UFOs, released in 2021.

One source who had seen the report described dozens of videos on classified servers showing metallic-looking orbs captured by US spy planes or drones in the Middle East – similar to the image released today.

“These drones operate 20-25,000 feet up in the air and they’re flying around. We’re keeping an eye on bad guys all over the world,” the source said.

“An operator will be zoomed in looking at a town in Syria. And all of a sudden, a little orb will go flying through the viewfinder.

“The operator’s like, ‘What the hell?’ And so he starts focusing on it and he just watches the orb for a while. We might get it for 30 seconds, we might watch it for 10 minutes. And then it will do something remarkable, like suddenly bolt off the screen.”

“For the first time, we are releasing a military-filmed image of a UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena, or UFO) over an active conflict zone,” Corbell said. “This is an entirely different scenario to the east and west Coast incursions over training ranges.

“UAP pose significant risk to our service men and women, and this case highlights this – and is unfortunately not unique.

“This is not just about safety concerns to pilots and ground troops. Its potential consequences are far deeper. And the scope is now proven to be global.”
