In 2018, surveillance cameras stationed at a Joint Operations Base in Iraq recorded an unidentified object with a distinctive morphology. The object exhibited a floating jellyfish-like shape with three dangling appendages extending beneath it, distinguishing it from conventional aircraft or known military platforms.
The footage was captured by base security and surveillance systems rather than airborne platforms. The object’s appearance shifted during recording, transitioning through color variations: black, gray, and white. The object appeared to maintain position or move without any visible means of propulsion, remaining observable in the surveillance frame without apparent external support structures.
Documentation and Release
Documentary filmmaker and UAP researcher Jeremy Corbell obtained and publicly released the footage, bringing the incident to media attention. The material subsequently appeared in the Tubi documentary series “TMZ Presents: UFO Revolution,” reaching a broader audience and establishing it as one of the more visually distinctive recordings to emerge from a military installation.
Official Status
No official explanation has been provided for the object’s identity or origin. The incident was acknowledged within institutional records.
The footage is one of the 46 specific UAP video recordings referenced in Rep. Luna’s March 2026 congressional letter requesting comprehensive documentation of military surveillance footage related to unidentified phenomena.
