According to an expert, the Pentagon released video in 2022 of a UFO that flew over a conflict zone in the Middle East. Its mere existence increases “the likelihood of unintentional crossfire.”

The clip, which shows a metallic orb moving at high speed was shown on Wednesday during the hearing of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee for Emerging Threats & Capabilities.

Initially, the object appeared to be moving from the upper right corner of the screen down to the lower left. The object briefly disappears and then briefly reappears.

Sean Kirkpatrick is the director of AARO, which is the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office. It’s virtually impossible to identify this event based on the video.

Kirkpatrick, a U.S. senator, told lawmakers that the 2022 Middle East orb was an “unresolved” case. The footage reminded Jeremy Corbell about the “Mosul Orb”, a metallic orb similar to the one recorded by a U.S. spies plane over Mosul in Iraq in 2016.

Corbell, a documentary and investigative filmmaker, who was the sole civilian to be named at the historic UAP hearing of Congress in May 2022 shared an image from 2016 with Fox News Digital in an interview conducted in February.

Corbell explained that the presence of UAPs, or Unidentified Anaomalous Phenomena (the government’s term for UFO), in a conflict zone can cause problems, as combatants may not know who is responsible.

Corbell, after watching the hearing on Wednesday, told Fox News Digital that it “elicits an extra level of concern because of the possibility of unintentional crossfire.” The potential for misidentification can be devastating, and it should be a call for action to ensure the safety of our military personnel.

Kirkpatrick presented an infographic that showed how the 2022 Middle East orb sighting is consistent with other metallic orb observations made in the region.

Kirkpatrick said that there was “no demonstration” of mysterious technical capabilities and no threat to the safety of airborne assets.

The Pentagon tracks about 650 sightings, and this was just one of the two incidents that were discussed at the hearing. This is the only public meeting on UFOs held in the past 50 years.

The footage shows the UFO in 2022 flying over the Middle East with a “spherical UAP.” The AARO receives 52 percent of the total number of UAP reports that are spherical. According to Kirkpatrick, the UAP seen in the video has characteristics and behaviors similar to those observed in other metallic orb UAPs in the area.

“This admission causes me to reflect on the ‘Mosul Orb’ image that George Knapp and I obtained and release on our program WeaponizedPodcast.com,” Corbell said.

He said in February that he was “shooting things down” over the United States of America without identifying the objects before he did so. This was in reference to four aerial objects including a Chinese spy ballon, which were shot down by American aircraft.

The rules of engagement, which govern how and when we can shoot at objects, are being completely rewritten.

Kirkpatrick said that more data and information must be sent to the AARO if this department is to “close unresolved case.”

Kirkpatrick stated that “we’re working together with the joint staff on issuing guidance to all services and commands to establish the reporting requirements, timeliness, and all data that must be delivered to us from all associated censors.”

As the stigma surrounding UAPs fades, the number of UAP reports is increasing. The government is also intensifying its efforts to reduce the safety risks that may be associated with unidentified objects in flight.

Many whistleblowers have spoken out about their encounters with UFOs. They claim to have seen them on radar or on cameras.

Graves explained that “we could see them with our eyes.” Two aircraft of my squadron flew side-by-side and one of the objects passed between them.

A U.S. official stated in February that the ongoing review of UAP incidents by the U.S. Intelligence Community and the Pentagon was one technique used to identify Chinese spy balloons.

Corbell stated that “no single video of an UAP can prove the UFO’s reality.” This case has been made repeatedly over the years by civilians and military aircraft pilots who have reported or recorded events, objects and experiences that are beyond our current understanding.

It’s important to keep in mind that consensus reality dictates our belief system. Consensus reality has changed time and again to accommodate actuality and discovery. When we discover new truths, we must adapt and change.

The acknowledgment of UFO presence may be one of those formative times for humanity.
