‘Disc-shaped' UFO spotted by US military in eerie footage newly released to public – ‘It has implications that are huge'
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. 5 5 5 He published the video on his social media on Tuesday, which captures the unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) soaring through the clouds. 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 5 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. What is the 'Tic Tac'? 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.

Fighter pilot reveals near miss with 'perfect rectangle' UFO that defied the laws of physics
A veteran US fighter pilot has broken his silence about a near-collision with a UFO that defied the laws of physics and left the Air Force in stunned disbelief. Major Ryan Bodenheimer, a retired F-15 and F-16 combat pilot, revealed in a YouTube video that one of the 'wildest experiences' of his career involved a close encounter with a rectangle-shaped UFO as he flew with his squadron over southern Wyoming. Bodenheimer, who served in the Air Force for 13 years, said the large craft suddenly appeared out of nowhere during a training mission and looked to be on a collision course with his plane. 'Then I realized we weren't going to hit, and all of a sudden it came more into view, and it was a rectangular shape. This was like essentially a perfect rectangle,' Bodenheimer revealed in his video on June 8. The military veteran described the UFO as being 30 to 50 feet in height and appearing to be glowing around the edges of its bright white body as it flew alongside the Thunderbirds, the Air Force's elite aerobatic demonstration squadron. Bodenheimer added that this craft had no visible vapor trail coming from an engine, no radar signal, and was traveling at approximately 400 knots (460 miles per hour). 'It really was defying any type of aeronautical laws that I've learned,' Bodenheimer said. Bodenheimer then revealed that his report to air traffic control left officials in 'dead silence' before the entire matter was apparently dismissed as an 'anomalous object.' The strange rectangle UFO got so close to Bodenheimer's F-16 Falcon at 30,000 feet in the air that he said he could make out every detail of the craft before it eventually flew off and was never seen again. When air traffic controllers in Denver asked Bodenheimer if he could give them any more details about the UFO, he revealed that it had a cream-colored interior that became transparent or had a hole in its center. 'I know it sounds like I'm talking about a delicious pastry, but this was the wildest experience I've ever had,' the fighter pilot joked. The only evidence of Bodenheimer's sighting was a report made by air traffic control saying that an object had been spotted in the area where the Thunderbirds were training that day, but he never heard from anyone about the incident again. The former combat officer explained on his channel, Max Afterburner, that this UFO could not have been a weather balloon, a high-tech drone, or some kind of light trick. 'There was nothing that made me think this was some sort of illusion. It was clear as day. It was right down our wing line, a 30 to 50 foot object,' the pilot continued. Bodenheimer then speculated whether this could have been an extraterrestrial craft, noting that he's never been a fan of 'science fiction' but admitted that his encounter matched many of the incidents involving military pilots that 'defied physics.' 'Going against aerodynamics definitely blows my mind. Anti-gravity, something that cloaks radar, I didn't see anything on the radar,' he added. The object wasn't even tilted to deflect the wind while traveling at that speed. It stayed completely vertical as if the wind did not affect the UFO's ability to fly at over 400 mph. Bodenheimer said that he has never heard about the UFO sighting since he reported it to officials with air traffic control in Denver This wasn't the only time the Air Force veteran had encountered a UFO. He added that 'lightning-fast triangle' while training with the Thunderbirds near Area 51 - the military's top secret base in Nevada. 'There's been lots of crazy stuff that's been reported out there,' Bodenheimer said. On this day, the mysterious jet-like object flew past Bodenheimer's F-16 as his squadron was coming in for a landing. 'This lightning-fast triangle blitzed past me as we were setting ourselves up on a final [approach],' the pilot revealed. 'I just remember this thing going massively fast past me... It had basically done an interceptor maneuver, a dust-off. So maybe this was its way of having fun, saying maybe this should be Top Gun 3,' Bodenheimer detailed. The pilot noted that he hopes coming forward will encourage more of his fellow pilots to reveal what they've seen during their time in the military, noting that there have been roughly 800 UFO reports in just the last four years.

Joe Rogan stunned by disturbing 'alien photos leaked by ex-Pentagon chief': 'This is crazy'
A set of disturbing photos claiming to show a dead alien flooded the internet, catching the attention of Joe Rogan, who appeared stunned by the bizarre images. The three photos, which surfaced last week on X, have been linked to former military intelligence official Luis Elizondo, a prominent and polarizing figure in the world of UFO investigations. Elizondo has previously made headlines with unverified claims about extraterrestrials and advanced aerial technology. 'Did you see, Lou Elizondo, these photos that are supposedly of a real alien?' Rogan said. 'It's so dumb. The photos look blurry... of the photos of the dead alien. This is crazy.' Along with the photos, Rogan presented a 1993 document claiming they depicted 'an alien hybrid child born to a 15-year-old girl, subject of an ET genetic experiment.' The discussion quickly veered into speculation when Rogan and his guest, comedian Luis J Gomez, wondered if the figure in the images might be a baby with Harlequin ichthyosis, a skin disorder that causes thick, scaly plates on the body. 'It could be anything, man. I mean, it might not even be human,' Rogan said. The images have triggered intense backlash online, with many users convinced they depict a deceased baby rather than an extraterrestrial being. Critics have slammed Elizondo for allegedly promoting the photos without proper context. However, UAP (unidentified anomalous phenomena) researcher Rob Heatherly told that he, not Elizondo, sent the images to the former Pentagon official in hopes of getting clarification. 'His only reply to my inquiry, paraphrasing, was that he had absolutely no idea either,' Heatherly said. 'Lue gets accused of things frequently that he has no actual involvement in or cognizance of. It's not required that he address each accusation, especially the absurd one, as this is. He claimed the photos were sold at auction, saying: 'I didn't buy the albums. I found the auctions and saved the images. 'The person who listed them for sale was commenting about them with me in recent days regarding this.' contacted Elizondo and his lawyer Ivan Hannel last week for comment and has yet to receive a response. Elizondo, however, appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience in 2024, where he claimed the intelligence community and the Department of Defense have 'hundreds and hundreds of videos of UFOs.' Rogan did not say Elizondo had shared the images, only mentioned that the former military intelligence official was somehow involved with them. 'Like you can't even zoom in on that,' Rogan said during the podcast, highlighting how blurry the images were. 'You can't even f****** focus. Look at these. 'What is that? What's that? What is that dude? How about better pictures? These are the only pictures. Is this from the forties? Like, what's this picture from? What is this?' Elizondo recently came under fire after sharing an image he said was a UFO. While speaking in front of Congress on May 1, he held up what he said was a never-before-seen image of a cruise ship–sized craft he claimed was spotted hovering 21,000 feet in the air over the western US. The image quickly flooded social media and was debunked in less than 24 hours. Users analyzed the photo and located the object, discovering it was actually a snapshot of two irrigation circles in rural Colorado. Mick West, a British-American science writer and conspiracy theory investigator, wrote on X: 'This UFO photo shows two irrigation circles. Another mistake involved a high-resolution image of a 'mothership' in 2022, which looked at first glance to be piercing through the clouds in Romania, but was later debunked as the window reflection of an indoor chandelier lamp 'The roads are perfectly aligned, and the 'shadow' is in the wrong direction.' West also noted that this isn't the first time Elizondo, who led the Pentagon's program investigating UFO sightings for 10 years, has made a major UFO blunder. One glaring mistake involved a high-resolution image of a supposed 'mothership' in 2022, which appeared to be piercing through clouds over Romania. It was later debunked as the window reflection of an indoor chandelier lamp. Others in the Reddit thread were less forgiving toward Elizondo, with many accusing him of spreading disinformation. 'Trying to clown all of us,' one user wrote. 'If any of the people coming forward are serious, they'll distance themselves from him.' 'Really brings into question what they are doing with disclosure. Starting to think that Elizondo and co. are just disinformation agents,' another added. Despite the criticism, Elizondo doubled down on showing the photo at Thursday's hearing, saying on X Friday that it was an unvetted image he used to prove a point about civilian pilots lacking access to UFO-reporting resources. 'The purpose of me showing the photo was to illustrate the need for civilian and commercial pilots to have a central reporting mechanism to report potential anomalous sightings,' Elizondo posted on X Friday. 'In this case, the pilot who took the photo, using his own camera, did not have a way to report what he believed was anomalous,' he continued.
