On April 16, 2016 an MC-12 surveillance platform flying over Mosul, Iraq filmed a shiny orb using full motion video. The object crossed the frame laterally for about a second of a four-second clip and showed no obvious means of propulsion.1 Initial analysis at DGS-1 in Virginia could not identify the craft.2 Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp released a still frame from the footage in January 2023 on their Weaponized podcast.3 They published the entire video on July 1, 2025, describing it as evidence of UAP in an active conflict zone.4 Officials including Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick said the case remained under study.5
