The UFO Phenomenon

New leaked US military footage shows fast-moving UFO over Syria

The intriguing new footage was recently revealed by investigative journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp.
According to Corbell, the clip - which was reportedly filmed by a MQ-9 Reaper drone - was recorded back in 2021 over Syria near the border with Jordan.

The object, which was visible for over a minute, was recorded using thermal imaging and, according to Corbell, exhibited "instantaneous acceleration" as well as "abrupt directional changes".

Accompanying intelligence documentation also allegedly claims that there was no evidence of any known traditional propulsion system or thermal signature.

The origin and nature of the object have been formally described as "unknown".
Speaking on the Weaponized Podcast recently, Corbell and Knapp noted that this particular region has become something of a hotbed for sightings of unidentified objects.

According to Corbell, in one incident, the bridge of a US Navy vessel was suddenly bathed in a light so intense that the commanding officer was unable to see her hand in front of her face.

Could the object in the footage be responsible ?

As things stand, the clip, which you can view below, raises a lot more questions than answers.

Knapp is a huge red flag when it comes to credibility and integrity, if ufo=aliens profiteer had a face it's Knapp.

Oddly I'm seeing more and more small drones, I've been a lifelong rc hobbyist so I noticed them, It's fairly country, my drive to work and home just sat before last saw a cool one, neat lights, as I passed under it no question quad copter but I really have no clue how high or its size, likely 15 to 20 inch like I see cops by my work fly, Interesting is the area and tree lines I have no idea where the pilot was hiding out

I agree, it cannot be a missile, rocket, or a jet.  It seems to be too sophisticated to belong to any player in the region, with the possible exception of Russia, who were still in Syria at that time.  Of course, there is the possibility that it is alien technology, too.

Its the same pattern every time, just like the Navy Gimbal and Go Fast videos. It is always thermal or sensor footage with no background reference, so you lose scale, depth, and perspective. Once you factor in camera movement, parallax, and tracking behavior, the strangeness disappears.

The likes of Corbell and Knapp are desperately trying to keep this BS in the limelight!  This footage has been 'leaked', which, of course, means made visible to the public without the permission of the authorities because, ya know, it's classified! As usual, no proof of instantaneous acceleration" as well as "abrupt directional changes zzz. Well, the person who risked his job (& possibly his life, according to some) certainly went over the top with this leak by grabbing 'accompanying intelligence documentation' on the way out! Well done. I'm sure there's only a few who'll fall for this cr... [More]

The fact that its always vague video plus confident narration tells you exactly who this is meant to convince. The gullible who already believe.

Yep... it's all nothing more than business IMO. They have to keep feeding the gullible something in order to keep them interested in the books, documentaries, podcasts, TV interviews & all that! It's nothing new, as I'm sure you'll agree. This has been going on for years - 'money' is the only reason this enigma is still alive.  The fact this subject STILL sits in the mystery/ unexplained category after what- 90?? years proves it to me!

Probably an advanced drone

Assuming it's real I would say a drone.  With enough power it's not that hard to make sudden direction changes.

The Reaper clip is thermal imaging, where apparent brightness, sudden motion, and acceleration are well known camera and tracking artifacts.  And a genuine incident where a ships bridge was flooded with blinding light would leave extensive corroboration - multiple witnesses, logs, sensor data, timestamps, and independent reports. None of that has been provided.  Accompanying intelligence documentation allegedly claims that there was no evidence of any known traditional propulsion system or thermal signature... allegedly is doing the heavy lifting here. In any case, saying "no known propulsi... [More]
