A newly released video from a U.S. military drone has sparked intrigue among UFO enthusiasts, showing what some are describing as a group of mysterious orbs flying over a highly sensitive region.
Jeremy Corbell, an investigative journalist and filmmaker, along with his co-host from the WEAPONIZED Podcast, shared footage reportedly sourced from intelligence channels. The video depicts three objects maneuvering over the Persian Gulf on August 23, 2012.
This minute-long clip was recorded by an MQ-9 Reaper drone under the control of the U.S. Air Force. The drone captured the footage using its infrared sensors shortly after 6 PM local time.
Corbell and his podcast partner, George Knapp, noted that the Pentagon has identified these lights as ‘orbs’ traveling in formation, rather than a single triangular craft.
The video shows a curious moment where one of the lights falls back behind the others, only to suddenly accelerate and take the lead in the formation.
Corbell and podcast co-host George Knapp added that the orbs appeared to be flying in an almost ‘playful’ manner and were intelligently coordinated, maintaining equal distances without any visible wings, tails, fins, or engine exhaust of any kind.
Corbell and Knapp pointed out that the leaked recording clearly showed unidentified flying objects displaying one of the ‘five observable’ behaviors often linked to UFOs – unusual flight movements that defy basic physics.
In this case, the one orb moving between the other two exhibited clear signs of instant acceleration without any visible thrust, something human aircraft haven’t publicly shown an ability to do.

In a breakdown of the sighting, Corbell noted that the US Department of War officially designated the orbs as ‘UAP,’ which stands for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena and is the new term for UFOs.
The video was reportedly placed in a separate archive specifically for evidence of non-human craft or objects that clearly weren’t birds, balloons, or other explainable items.
The WEAPONIZED Podcast hosts added that the credibility of the sighting was indisputable, since the footage was taken by the military, using technology that accumulates more data than a standard camera or everyday person’s smartphone.
‘This is a military recorded sensor generated image of what looks like a triangular UFO, like one big triangular craft with dots on each of the three ends. And clearly, you watch this, and that’s not what it is,’ Knapp said in the January 30 episode.
‘Your government has labeled this UAP and you were never supposed to see this footage,’ Corbell added.
The two men noted that the area where this recording was made, between Saudi Arabia and Iran, has become a hotspot for UAP activity in recent years, with personnel on US Navy vessels in the region reporting multiple encounters with bright objects in the sky.
In one incident allegedly recounted to Corbell, an unknown object flooded the bridge of a Navy ship with extremely intense light, so bright that a commanding officer claimed she raised her hand to shield her eyes but she couldn’t see her own hand in front of her face.
In another incident recently revealed during a bombshell hearing in Washington, military drone footage captured the moment a Hellfire missile struck and merely bounced off the hull of a UFO flying over the nearby country of Yemen.

Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri revealed video of a US military drone striking an orb-shaped UFO with a missile, which bounced off and did not stop the craft
Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri produced the shocking, never-before-seen footage from October 30, 2024 during the congressional UAP hearing with a group of military whistleblowers last year.
The black-and-white video captured the 100-pound class air-to-ground precision weapon bouncing off the mysterious orb, which continued traveling at extreme speed off the coast of Yemen, roughly 1,000 miles away from the Persian Gulf.
Witness Jeffrey Nuccetelli, a former Air Force military police officer for 16 years, called the Hellfire video ‘exceptional evidence’ of the existence of UFOs.
‘I imagine there’s members of Congress that would like to see it, who I don’t even know if they’ve asked to see the repository of UAP videos that we’ve mentioned to them in the past,’ Knapp said.
‘But it must be frustrating for them to know that this kind of stuff exists and they’re not allowed to poke into it or get get a glimpse of it at all.’
Officially, the US government and the Pentagon have declared that there has never been any physical evidence recovered that proves UFOs or extraterrestrial beings exist.
The podcast hosts noted that ARRO, the Pentagon department in charge of reviewing all UAP incidents, has released very few videos showing clear UFO sightings, despite whistleblower footage continuing to be leaked to the public.
