US military personnel captured an eerie flying saucer UFO in incredible new footage that has just been released to the public.
Investigative journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp, claim the video was filmed by government personnel along the Afghan-Pakistan border in November 2020. They made it public on Tuesday.
The footage displays a large disc maneuvering in and out of cloud cover. This unidentified object was classified by the Department of Defense as a UAP (unidentified anomalous phenomena) and is distinguishable from the ‘tic-tac’ shaped UFOs frequently observed in recent military recordings.
The video, featuring raw thermal imaging, in addition to two further enhanced clips provided by the U.S. government, exhibits the mysterious craft making sudden alterations in its course, all while lacking any evident 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 told DailyMail.com. ‘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 seen, 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.

Thermal imagery reveals the object’s lack of propulsion – a key mystery driving debate.
‘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.’
In simple terms, that means it is unclear exactly how the disc is being powered. Terrestrial aircraft tend to use jet or propeller engines which can leave obvious trails across the sky.
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 its exact size is still being debated, with further analysis required to offer more accurate perspective on its size.
‘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.’
Jeremy Corbell, an investigative journalist and filmmaker known for his work with George Knapp on military-documented UAP, has once again ignited public debate over UFOs – spent over two years verifying the footage before release
The UAP is believed to be between 200–400 meters in diameter, according to early estimates
The U.S. military described the object as ‘navigating through clouds’ and labeled it a UAP
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 reconnaissance programs.
