Government Coverup? Investigative Filmmaker Claims U.S. Military Captured Video of UFO Hovering Over Iraq

Investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell has recently made fresh allegations regarding a government cover-up of UFO-related incidents.

Corbell's latest conspiracy claim revolves around an alleged 2018 event involving the United States military and an unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP).

A video shared by "UAP James," a figure known for expertise in this area, captures the incident in question. In the video, it is claimed that in 2018, the U.S. military recorded footage over a sensitive facility in Iraq, designating the observed object as a 'UAP' by U.S. Intelligence.

Corbell, narrating the video, describes the “object” positioned at the center of the screen as the camera pans across the base, suggesting that the anomaly may have been due to a defect in the lens.

He raises concerns about the optics platforms being jammed, highlighting that those operating such platforms, capable of precise targeting from significant distances, were unable to lock onto the object — an early indication that something unusual may be occurring.

The filmmaker claims to have personally located firsthand witnesses and confirmed the event's reality. He said that when people tried to focus on it using optical equipment, it looked immobile and had unique characteristics, like stuff, geometric shapes that looked like armor or scales.

Corbell also claims that people with night vision were unable to see the object, implying that it was only visible in the thermal spectrum. He highlights the possible threat posed by these items, designating them as high-priority issues since they "appear to have a payload."

Corbell speculates that the incident might have implicated other nations and that their video feeds might have been disrupted or turned off. This incident raises questions and makes one wonder why the video stream is breaking up.

In a dramatic disclosure, Corbell states that the object hovers over a body of water before quickly plunging into it, staying motionless for 17 minutes, and then taking off at a 45-degree angle.

Similar claims about Middle Eastern military organizations have been made by Corbell before. He gained notoriety earlier for asserting that a similar exchange occurred between a UAP and a British Royal Air Force (RAF) fighter jet in December 2021. The gadget is referred to in official papers as a "hostile terrorist drone," although Corbell claims that the word "UAP" was actually used in intelligence circles.
