THE first ever bombshell footage of the infamous “Mosul orb” UFO captured by a US spy plane in Iraq has now been released.

The declassified video, filmed in 2016 by a US MC-12 surveillance aircraft, shows a mysterious metallic spherical object flying over the city of Mosul.

The object appeared suddenly and moved erratically in and out of the camera’s view

UFOs were spotted hovering over top-secret military bases and flying near aircraft, according to the US Navy

Interestingly, the four-second footage shows the UFO flying at a constant speed without dropping alтιтude.

The object appeared suddenly and moved erratically in and out of the camera’s view.

The clip was obtained by Dustin Slaughter, a leading UFO investigator, through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request – and was shown to the public by UFO podcaster Jeremy Corbell.

It comes two years after the first still image from the video was declassified by the Pentagon.

The image was part of a classified briefing for US officials and was later released to the public.

It’s considered part of the ongoing investigation into unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) by the US intelligence community.

Corbell said at the time: “For the first time, we are releasing a military filmed image of a UAP over an active conflict zone,” he said.

“UAP pose a significant risk to our service men and women, and this case highlights this – and is unfortunately not unique.

“Origin, capability, operator and intent have not been determined in relation to this intelligently controlled UFO over Mosul, Iraq.

“At a minimum UAP pose a fundamental intelligence and combat identification problem that must be addressed.”

Meanwhile, another declassified UFO footage showed a similar mystery metal orb soaring above the ground – leaving US officials puzzled.

In 2023, A testimony was heard at Capitol Hill, Washington DC, as the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office revealed the shocking clips.

The videos released in the declassified cases are said to have been observed by US military drones.

The footage showed a mystery “metal orb” as it hovered and flew across open airspace.

The incidents were believed to have been recorded in the Middle East and South Asia.

Corbell has been behind a string of high-profile leaks featuring encounters between UFOs and the US military one which was played at a landmark hearing held by Congress

He urged the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office to dedicate resources to “this enduring mystery on behalf of the American and global public”.

Corbell had previously directed 2018 documentary film Bob Lazar: Area 51 and the Flying Saucers.

It tells the story of Lazar, who claims to be a former US government physicist who worked with tech from UFOs.

It comes after a picture claiming to show a 1,000ft wide silver UFO flying over the US was released by an infamous Pentagon whistleblower.

The picture was allegedly snapped by an airline pilot in 2021 while flying 21,000ft above the Four Corners Monument – spanning New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado.

The spooky picture shows what looks like a circular object floating above the Earth.

The UAP Disclosure Fund shared the image on X, and wrote: “Captured near Four Corners at FL20 — estimated 600 – 1,000 ft in diameter, silver-hued, disc-shaped.”

“Several speakers confirmed Department of Defense and Intelligence Community hold hundreds of similar UAP images + sensor files still classified
