A recent New York Post report reveals that leaked U.S. Air Force surveillance drone footage appears to show unidentified aerial objects moving through military and civilian airspace over the Middle East, raising fresh questions about the nature and origin of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).
According to the report, the videos were made public by investigative journalists and UAP researchers including George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell, who say the clips show objects that defy easy explanation.
One clip, captured on Aug. 23, 2012, allegedly shows three orb-like lights in a triangular formation over the Persian Gulf, recorded by an MQ-9 Reaper drone’s infrared sensor.
These objects reportedly move abruptly without detectable heat or propulsion signatures—behavior that doesn’t align with known aircraft technology.
Another video, thought to be from 2021 and filmed near the Syria–Jordan border, is said to show a similar circular object. Reporters note that this orb evaded radar tracking, disappearing from the system despite attempts to lock onto it, a detail that’s fueling fresh curiosity and debate among UAP researchers and some military analysts.
These disclosures arrive amid a broader backdrop of increasing attention to UAP encounters by U.S. military units. In a 2025 congressional hearing, one orb was reportedly documented continuing flight even after being struck by a Hellfire missile, according to previously revealed footage from another drone encounter.
Critics and disclosure advocates say that these kinds of military encounters suggest a pattern of unexplained aerial activity that warrants greater transparency.
The New York Post story also notes that while the Department of Defense has not publicly commented on the newly leaked material, the release has reignited discussions about UAP interactions near troop deployments and civilian flight corridors.
Whether these videos reflect advanced foreign technology, sensor anomalies, or something else altogether remains unresolved—a reflection of both the mystery and controversy surrounding UAP reports in recent years.
