In a groundbreaking release, investigative journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp have unveiled stunning footage of a massive disc-shaped unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) captured by U.S. military personnel. The video, recorded in November 2020 over the Afghan-Pakistan border, marks the first time military-filmed footage of a disc-shaped UAP has been made public, sparking intense debate and curiosity.
The raw thermal imagery, accompanied by two enhanced clips produced by the U.S. government, shows a saucer-like object, estimated to be 200–400 meters in diameter, weaving through clouds with no visible signs of propulsion. Unlike the ‘tic-tac’-shaped UAPs seen in previous military footage, this disc exhibits abrupt directional changes, defying conventional aerodynamics. “This is the first time in history that military footage of a disc-shaped UAP, designated as such by the military, has been captured on camera and released to the public,” Corbell told DailyMail.com. “It has implications that are huge.”
The footage was captured during a reconnaissance mission by a high-altitude Air Force platform. Internal government documents, reviewed by Corbell and Knapp, describe the UAP as “navigating through clouds” and characterize it as a “disc.” The military’s enhanced clips highlight 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.” This absence of detectable propulsion challenges current understanding of how such a massive object could maneuver so effortlessly.
The released videos include three distinct clips:
– The raw capture from the reconnaissance platform, where the disc is faintly visible as it enters the frame.
– A government-enhanced zoomed version, clearly revealing the object’s saucer shape and its sudden shift in direction.
– A heavily enhanced clip used for military analysis, offering greater detail but containing a glitch that underscores the challenges of over-processing such imagery.
Geolocation data embedded in the footage points to the Afghan-Pakistan border, a region of strategic surveillance interest due to ongoing conflicts. Online investigators have already begun analyzing the coordinates, fueling discussions about the object’s origins and purpose.
Corbell and Knapp, known for their rigorous work on UAP phenomena, spent over two years verifying the footage’s authenticity with multiple sources, including individuals involved in official U.S. government UFO programs. “The source is legit. We know it’s real,” Knapp stated on their podcast Weaponized. “It was not supposed to be made public. But it should’ve been.” The journalists have not disclosed how they obtained the leaked footage, emphasizing the need to protect their sources.
The object’s extraordinary movement—dipping into clouds, emerging, and reversing direction—combined with its undeniable disc shape, has left experts and the public grappling for explanations. “There’s depth of field. There’s relative distance. The shape is undeniable,” Corbell said. “And the movement? It’s extraordinary. That’s not an artifact. That’s a real object in motion.”
This release builds on Corbell’s track record of bringing compelling UAP evidence to light, including the infamous ‘Tic Tac’ UFO videos and whistleblower testimony from former Pentagon insider Matthew Brown about secret UAP reconnaissance programs. The newly declassified footage, extensively studied within intelligence circles but never intended for public release, raises profound questions about what is traversing our skies.
“The public has a right and a need to know,” Corbell asserted. “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.” As analysis continues, Corbell hinted that this is only the beginning: “This is just the start.”
