US Leaks Reveal Unidentified Aerial Objects in Middle Eastern Skies
Two prominent American journalists, George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell, have disclosed two leaked videos documenting the U.S. military's observations of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) in the Middle Eastern airspace. The U.S. Department of Defense and intelligence agencies have officially categorized these as "unidentified anomalous phenomena".
The footage, captured by "Reaper" drones over 13 years ago, depicts unusual objects moving at incomprehensible speeds and executing abrupt maneuvers, without displaying any thermal or radiation signatures indicative of conventional propulsion systems.
One video features three lights or "spheres" flying in a triangular formation above the Persian Gulf on August 23, 2012, while another report, released on February 3, 2026, details a spherical object observed at the Syrian-Jordanian border in 2021.
Notably, the drones managed to lock onto a "target" with the latter object, but it skillfully broke the lock and vanished suddenly during the slow-motion playback of the video.
These leaks come amid ongoing pressure from transparency advocates urging the U.S. government to release all military footage documenting potential encounters with what are considered "non-human" vehicles.
During a hearing on unusual phenomena on September 9, 2025, Republican Representative Eric Burlison presented footage of a "Reaper" drone striking a spherical object with a 100-pound "Hellfire" missile, yet the object continued to fly without any noticeable effects.
The leaks continue to fuel debate over whether these objects are merely advanced secret technologies or represent entirely unusual phenomena, making the skies over the Middle East a stage for unresolved mysteries.
