UFO horror as '1,000-foot-long alien spaceship' pictured by aeroplane pilot
Former Pentagon staffer Lue Elizondo shared an image taken by a civilian pilot of what's believed to be a massive UFO, and claimed that the US government is hiding 'hundreds' of similar snaps
We're obsessed with the idea of extra-terrestrial life, having been desperate to know what might be out there long before ET hit our screens. For some it's not just a passing thought, with many people dedicating their time and careers to tracking possible UFO sightings - and they claim to have just found one.
UFOs have now officially been renamed to UAPs, or Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. There's one group, the UAP Disclosure Fund, that's committed to tracking possible sightings and encouraging governments to open up about any eerie information they might be keeping in the most secret of files.
The group held a panel on May 1, held in collaboration with the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and included members of Congress and leading UAP experts. There, they released a new photo of a suspected UAP - and it's huge. Captured at the meeting corner of the states of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado, the snap shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, shows a white disc that could be seen as floating over a field.
Explaining that the photo was taken by a civilian pilot from above, the post shares: 'Captured near Four Corners at FL210—estimated 600-1,000 ft in diameter, silver-hued, disc-shaped.
'Released moments ago by @LueElizondo during our 'Science, National Security & Innovation' panel. Several speakers confirmed DoD & IC hold hundreds of similar UAP images + sensor files still classified. It's time for full declassification and open scientific analysis.'
While the photo definitely could be seen as a huge floating disk, while many people were stunned by the huge shape others were quick to try to debunk the image.
Alongside several photos that seemed to capture the specific field, one person wrote: 'This is clearly a crop circle, not a UAP. Mislabelling known terrestrial phenomena erodes public trust and undermines legitimate disclosure efforts. Please correct this mistake - your reputation is on the line.'
Others complained that all photos of possible UAPs seem to be much blurrier than modern cameras are able to capture, with one mocking: 'WOW is that 14k virtual reality definition? I can make out every detail of it. ....at least have the s****y photo professionally scanned for God sakes. The flash is glaring off it.'
The photo was shared on behalf of the civilian by Lue Elizondo, who's made a name for himself in the flying saucer game. He joined the Pentagon UAP programme in 2008 after 20 years of running intelligence operations in Afghanistan and the Middle East, and quickly turned to saying that the Pentagon is hiding the existence of UFOs from civilians.
After retiring from the government in 2017, he claimed that he spent his time at the Pentagon handling "alien" technology, and claims that "bodies" have been recovered from several sites.
Elizondo released a new book, Imminent: Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs, in 2017, claiming that the infamous Roswell incident in New Mexico in 1947 involved two flying saucers – and 'four deceased non-human bodies' were recovered from the wreckage and examined.
He later added: "I have held in my hand material that scientists for the US government have conducted research on, and they've said: 'This is very special material, it's highly unlikely that it's made by human beings – and it's engineered.
"I've also held in my hand biological samples, tissue samples, that have been removed from human beings – that when analysed, do not behave like anything that we are normally used to associating with being a natural part of the human body, and certainly looks to be some sort of technical device."
Now, Elizondo is on the war path to pressure the government to open up about the alien conspiracy, but his new photo has turned some fans against him.
Elizondo has said: "I wanted to be able to tell the American public my experiences and what the government has been doing for a very long time, not just when I was in the program, but for decades about the government's interest in UFOs.'

‘Disc-shaped' UFO spotted by US military in eerie footage newly released to public – ‘It has implications that are huge'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EERIE new footage taken by the US military has captured a never-before-seen disc-shaped UFO mysteriously darting through the air. Independent journalist Jeremy Corbell leaked the video and said he was stunned by the "implications" of the jaw-dropping sight.

Corbell said the clip has made history because of the object's shape. Most UFOs caught on camera have a sort of pill shape, but this one looks straight out of a science-fiction movie. The video was taken by the military on November 23, 2020, and it was released after Corbell spent years verifying the footage with inside sources. He said that US officials themselves admitted the UAP was a "disc" with an unknown origin. They said the craft "displayed abrupt movement and intelligent control" as it can be seen flying to the right before suddenly changing directions. The UFO also noticeably doesn't give off any heat signatures or signs of thermal propulsion like a normal aircraft would. Between the never-before-seen shape and the bizarre movement, Corbell said the sighting "has implications that are huge," he told the Daily Mail. "This is the first time in history that military filmed footage of a disc-shaped UAP, designated as such by the military, has been captured on camera and released to the public," he said. Corbell explained that it was "astonishing" that a UFO of that shape could nimbly dart through the air without emitting heat signatures. UFO zooms past cruise ship at 'almost imperceptible speed' in eerie video as onlookers gasp 'what was that-!' "It's a perfect-looking disc, maybe it's an orb," he told NBC News. The object is believed to be between 200 and 400 meters in diameter, but Corbell said that the size is debated. It was captured flying around the border region of Afghanistan and Pakistan, according to coordinates seen in the corner of the video. The military still considers the object a UAP and continues to investigate the sighting, according to Corbell. 5 Corbell said that the object of the UAP is a first of its kind Credit: X/Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell 5 US military enhanced the video quality using artificial intelligence Credit: X/Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell CORBELL'S CALL The journalist claims that he's spoken with service members who had first-hand experience witnessing the footage. He called for Congress to respond to the video and said that military whistleblowers are ready to testify and describe what they saw. Corbell hopes that releasing this footage will encourage transparency from officials who witness UAPs. "The source is legit. We know it's real," Corbell's cohost George Knapp said in their podcast Weaponized. "It was not supposed to be made public. But it should've been." Corbell previously told The Sun that UFOs have been kept a secret so that militaries can adapt their technology for warfare. And he released disturbing details about a "huge alien aircraft" that was caught hovering over a US military base.

THE Tic Tac UFO is a mysterious flying object that U.S. pilots and experts have claimed to have witnessed over the last few decades. The first famous sighting with footage took place off the San Diego coast in 2004, after pilots on the USS Nimitz carrier strike group detected the object. Commander David Fravor believed it to be something beyond human technology - as it possessed extreme acceleration and no visible propulsion. Then in 2015, pilots on the USS Roosevelt off the East Coast captured footage of unidentified moving objects. They also showed no means of propulsion and moved at high speeds. Speculation online has caused alien fanatics to look for more Tic Tac-shaped space paraphernalia, including a Russian military base which appeared to be a Tic Tac UFO "charging hub". The Pentagon has also acknowledged other declassified videos of encounters, but have been unable to explain them.

Bombshell new video shows first flying saucer shaped UFO captured by the US military weaving between clouds
A jaw-dropping new video obtained by investigative journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp shows what the Department of Defense has officially labeled a 'UAP' - and for the first time, it's a classic flying saucer. The footage, recorded by a U.S. military reconnaissance platform on November 23, 2020, over the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, captures a massive disc-shaped object weaving in and out of cloud cover. The raw thermal imagery, along with two additional enhanced clips produced by the U.S. government, show the unidentified craft abruptly changing direction - all without any visible signs of propulsion. 'This is the first time in history that military filmed footage of a disc-shaped UAP, designated as such by the military, has been captured on camera and released to the public,' Corbell exclusively told 'It has implications that are huge.' The object was spotted during a reconnaissance mission by a high-altitude Air Force platform. According to internal government slides Corbell and Knapp have been exposed to, the UAP was described as 'navigating through clouds' and characterized as a 'disc'. The military's own internal enhancements - now made public - further underline the object's unusual heat signature, or lack thereof. 'You do not see plumes of heat coming off this disc-shaped object,' Corbell explained. 'This was captured on a thermal sensor - it should have detected heat if any traditional propulsion was present. But there's nothing. That's one of the wildest aspects.' The footage was extensively studied within intelligence community investigations for years, known to those with high-level access but never intended for public release. Corbell and Knapp said they spent over two years validating the authenticity of the clips with multiple sources, including individuals who actively work in official U.S. government UFO programs. 'The source is legit. We know it's real,' Knapp confirmed during the latest episode of their podcast Weaponized. 'It was not supposed to be made public. But it should've been.' The object is estimated to be between 200 and 400 meters in diameter, though Corbell admits that figure is speculative until exact scale can be determined from the data embedded in the footage. 'There's depth of field. There's relative distance. The shape is undeniable,' Corbell said. 'And the movement? It's extraordinary. You're seeing it dip into clouds, then emerge and reverse direction. That's not an artifact. That's a real object in motion.' The videos released include: Video 1: The raw capture from the reconnaissance platform, where the disc can barely be seen at first as it enters frame. Video 2: A government-enhanced zoomed version, revealing the object's distinctive saucer shape and directional shift. Video 3: A heavily enhanced clip used by the military for analysis, showing the disc in greater detail, but with a glitch that highlights the risks of over-processing. Online investigators have already begun poring over the footage, which includes geolocation data in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Those coordinates point to the border region of Afghanistan and Pakistan, an active conflict zone with strategic surveillance interest. 'The public has a right and a need to know,' Corbell said. 'This capture is worthy of serious discourse - not just in the UFO community, but in international and scientific conversations. It challenges our understanding of what's flying through our skies.' Corbell and Knapp have not disclosed how they obtained the footage, only stating that it was 'leaked' and that they took extreme precautions to protect sources. 'This is just the start,' Corbell teased. Jeremy Corbell is an investigative filmmaker known for releasing some of the most compelling UAP footage ever made public, including the infamous 'Tic Tac' UFO videos and a series of military-captured encounters that have sparked global headlines. Corbell has also played a key role in amplifying whistleblower testimony - most notably from Matthew Brown, the former Pentagon insider who recently came forward with claims about secret UAP retrieval programs.
