Leaked Military Videos Show UFOs in the Middle East

Recently, two videos reportedly from the U.S. military surfaced, showing unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in the Middle East. The footage, which includes radar clips from a Reaper drone that operated over 13 years ago, was brought to light by journalists and UFO researchers George Knapp and Jeremy Covell.

The U.S. Army has officially classified these objects as Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), a term that has replaced UFO in government discourse.

On August 23, 2012, a triangular formation of three lights was spotted moving above the Persian Gulf. One video of this sighting was shared publicly on January 30.

In a report featured in *Weaponized* magazine, Knapp and Covell mentioned that the object dramatically changed direction. Additionally, thermal imaging from forward-looking infrared radar (FLIR) did not pick up any heat signatures or signs of a standard propulsion system.

Another incident involved a round object recorded by a Reaper drone near the Syria-Jordan border in 2021, as detailed in a report released on February 3.

This sphere-like object also exhibited no heat emissions, yet the drone’s radar succeeded in locking onto it like a weapon system. Intriguingly, when the video was slowed down, it appeared that the object broke the radar lock and vanished from sight.

These video releases align with a broader movement among UFO disclosure enthusiasts aiming to unveil military-grade footage of encounters with unidentified vehicles.

During a UFO disclosure hearing on September 9, 2025, Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Missouri) shared footage showing an orb continuing to fly even after being struck by a 100-pound Hellfire missile.

The Department of the Army has not commented on the matter despite multiple inquiries.
