THE first ever bombshell footage of the infamous “Mosul orb” UFO captured by a US spy plane in Iraq has now been released.

A recently declassified video from 2016, captured by a US MC-12 surveillance plane, reveals an enigmatic spherical metallic object soaring above Mosul.

Interestingly, the four-second footage shows the UFO flying at a constant speed without dropping altitude.

The object appeared suddenly and moved erratically in and out of the camera’s view.

This footage was secured by Dustin Slaughter, a prominent UFO researcher, via a Freedom of Information (FOI) request and was subsequently shared with the public by UFO podcaster Jeremy Corbell.

It comes two years after the first still image from the video was declassified by the Pentagon.

The image was part of a classified briefing for US officials and was later released to the public.

 It’s considered part of the ongoing investigation into unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) by the US intelligence community. 

Corbell said at the time: “For the first time, we are releasing a military filmed image of a UAP over an active conflict zone,” he said.

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

“Origin, capability, operator and intent have not been determined in relation to this intelligently controlled UFO over Mosul, Iraq.

“At a minimum UAP pose a fundamental intelligence and combat identification problem that must be addressed.”

‘Disc-shaped’ UFO spotted by US military in eerie footage newly released to public – ‘It has implications that are huge’

Meanwhile, another declassified UFO footage showed a similar mystery metal orb soaring above the ground – leaving US officials puzzled.

In 2023, A testimony was heard at Capitol HillWashington DC, as the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office revealed the shocking clips.

The videos released in the declassified cases are said to have been observed by US military drones.

The footage showed a mystery “metal orb” as it hovered and flew across open airspace.

The incidents were believed to have been recorded in the Middle East and South Asia.

Corbell is recognized for his role in releasing several notable leaks featuring confrontations between UFOs and the US military, including one presented during a significant Congressional hearing.

The real threat of UFOs and aliens

FOR decades, UFOs and aliens were considered to be make belief things created by people in tinfoil hats but they are now considered a threat to national security.

Long gone are those who claim conspiracy theories are all false as many are now discussed at the highest levels of government with US officials even admitting their existence.

As more and more credible witnesses continue to come forward to tell their extraordinary stories publicly.

The 2010s saw decades of stigmas around extraterrestrial life start to break down as politicians made UFO sightings a matter of national security.

Across the world, governments have also unveiled some spooky truths with some even showcasing “dead alien corpses” on display for Congress.

Researchers recently verified the legitimacy of a set of three-fingered mummies as potential evidence of “non-human” life forms.

A line-up of doctors confirmed at Mexico‘s Congress on Tuesday that the bodies, purportedly not of this Earth, were in fact real, once-living organisms.

The Pentagon also released a blockbuster 1,574 pages of real-life X-Files in 2022, related to its secretive UFO programme.

The haul includes reports into research on the biological effects of UFO sightings on humans, sets out categorisations for paranormal experiences, and studies into sci-fi-style tech.

Top UFO chief Sean Kirkpatrick told the world last year that he is set to step down from his job following his stern warning of concerning activity “in our backyard.”

The Pentagon‘s UFO analysis office launched a UFO reporting service to the public after admitting to uncovering “some things” and calling the high number of suspicious activity either a foreign power or aliens.

Navy jet footage has revealed the intriguing images of a government-confirmed UFO baffling the internet.

The United States Government launched the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in 2022 to investigate reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs).

He urged the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office to dedicate resources to “this enduring mystery on behalf of the American and global public”.

Corbell had previously directed 2018 documentary film Bob Lazar: Area 51 and the Flying Saucers.

It tells the story of Lazar, who claims to be a former US government physicist who worked with tech from UFOs.

It comes after a picture claiming to show a 1,000ft wide silver UFO flying over the US was released by an infamous Pentagon whistleblower.

The picture was allegedly snapped by an airline pilot in 2021 while flying 21,000ft above the Four Corners Monument – spanning New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado.

The spooky picture shows what looks like a circular object floating above the Earth.

The UAP Disclosure Fund shared the image on X, and wrote: “Captured near Four Corners at FL20 — estimated 600 – 1,000 ft in diameter, silver-hued, disc-shaped.”

“Several speakers confirmed Department of Defense and Intelligence Community hold hundreds of similar UAP images + sensor files still classified.

“It’s time for full declassification and open scientific analysis.”

But sceptics were quick to challenge the discovery – claiming the photo merely showed irrigation circles that are common in desert climates.
