New thermal video footage has been released, revealing an incursion of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) into a United States Joint Operations base.
The UAP was tracked by the U.S. and allied nations as part of an intelligence operation over Iraq in 2017.

Obtained by investigative journalists George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell and released in the first episode of a new TMZ docuseries named [‘UFO Revolution,’](https://tubitv.com/movies/200044921/s01-e01-the-breakthrough?utm_campaign=web-sharing) the UAP resembles a jellyfish and reportedly demonstrated transmedium capabilities.
The footage captures the object travelling over land, through the sensitive base. The video shows the UAP frequently changing from hot (black) to cold (white) as it moves over buildings and animals.
Speaking to Liberation Times, Corbell commented:
“I am happy to be able to share publicly this type of bizarre morphology associated with the UAP problem. This military filmed UAP footage represents an important reality often experienced and discussed in relation to military UAP encounters – an incursion within a critical defense installation.”
According to sources who spoke to Jeremy Corbell and Liberation Times, the UAP, filmed using an optical platform and considered potentially hostile due to a potential payload, could not be locked onto, and the platform appeared to have been jammed.
Commenting on this alarming aspect of the incident, Corbell told Liberation Times:
“If UAP are able to penetrate our sensitive military installation with impunity – disabling our primary targeting and defense platforms – we must consider the role stigma and secrecy have played in corroding our ability to acknowledge and respond to such threats.”
According to witnesses who spoke to Corbell, during the incident, access to the footage was restricted from two U.S. allies, though the specific reason remains unknown.
Corbell told Liberation Times that sources familiar with the incident told him that the UAP descended into a body of water for 17 minutes before swiftly emerging and accelerating at an extraordinary speed, maintaining a 45-degree angle departing beyond the capabilities of the optical platform.
Liberation Times understands that the exact location of the incident cannot be confirmed due to the sensitivity of the base involved, although the body of water described appears to be a lake.
Corbell informed Liberation Times that the U.S. intelligence community designated the ‘ _jellyfish’_ object as UAP, emphasizing that its origin, intent, and full capability remain unknown. Furthermore, according to witnesses who spoke to Corbell, the UAP, which was tracked at night, displayed low observability and was invisible when viewed through night vision infrared.
Additionally, the footage appears to show that signatures typically associated with propulsion manoeuvres were absent, something even more odd when accounting for the lack of aerodynamics incorporated into the shape and reported transmedium and high speed capabilities.
Liberation Times has contacted the Department of Defense (DoD) for comment regarding the incident.
Dr Matthew Szydagis, a physicist and University of Albany professor suggested in an interview with Newsnation that the UAP may be using a form of signature management, due to its apparent changes in temperature and because two people seen in the video appear not to notice the object.
The U.S. government’s UAP Task Force preliminary assessment from 2021 stated:
“The UAPTF holds a small amount of data that appear to show UAP demonstrating acceleration or a degree of signature management.”
Referencing the assessment for Liberation Times in 2021, former Intelligence Analyst in the Marine Corps and Practicing Attorney, Sean Munger [wrote](https://www.liberationtimes.com/home/signature-management-the-key-term-everyone-overlooked-in-the-uaptf-report):
‘When UAP become aware of our detection, they attempt to mitigate our efforts and or leave the area.’
Munger added:
‘Simply put: They are here, they are doing something, they do not want to be detected or seen and are taking efforts to continue to do what they are doing while avoiding our methods of detection.’

The jellyfish-shaped UAP has a historical record, with documented cases such as a reported sighting [over East Kilbride, Scotland in 2003](https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a75c656e5274a545822e1ea/UFOReports2003WholeoftheUK.pdf). In 2021, a video presentation was uploaded onto YouTube, of cruise ship captain Kate McCue [referencing](https://x.com/LueDawg1/status/1694980653182570792?s=20) an encounter with a “giant black jellyfish” which was caught on film and floated down the length of the ship before descending.

Despite historical reports of the jellyfish shape, [a UAP reporting trends release](https://www.aaro.mil/) from the DoD’s UAP All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) does not reference this specific shape. It is noteworthy, however, that the Iraq and Syria region is prominently featured in the UAP reporting heatmap, where U.S. and coalition allied forces have been combating terrorist Daesh forces since 2014.
The jellyfish UAP constitutes the fourth piece of footage provided by Corbell and Knapp, showcasing objects of unknown origin captured by military platforms in Syria and Iraq. Other instances include the [Baghdad Phantom](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11828093/Skinny-cylindrical-shaped-UFO-flying-near-Baghdad-seen-six-thermal-images.html), the [Mosul Orb](https://www.foxnews.com/us/mosul-orb-us-silent-ufo-filmed-military-iraq), and the [Syria ‘Dome’ UAP](https://www.liberationtimes.com/home/exclusive-photo-captures-ufo-intercepted-by-uks-royal-air-force-as-five-eyes-intelligence-report-highlights-growing-difficulty-in-monitoring-surge-of-unidentified-craft-across-the-middle-east).
Corbell has told Liberation Times that a Five Eyes intelligence report dedicated to the UAP issue indicates that the United States Air Force, UK RAF, Royal Canadian Air Force, and the militaries of Russia and Syria are increasingly encountering UAPs in the skies over Syria and Iraq.
Corbell informed Liberation Times that the Five Eyes report arose from concerns about the rising frequency of UAP intrusions in areas where troops are stationed, prompting the need for a mandate to address these incidents.
