The image, a still taken from a four-second video clip captured April 16, 2016, by a reconnaissance aircraft in northern Iraq, was shared by UFO researcher Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell and journalist George Knapp on the first episode of their new podcast “Weaponized” on Tuesday.
“It is a military-filmed image, an intelligence agency-filmed image, and it’s called the Mosul orb,” Corbell said, noting the object was named after the Iraqi city where it was spotted.
In the video, the metallic-colored sphere seemingly moved alongside the spy plane without dropping in altitude, Corbell said.

The object was below the plane, and we do not know how fast the plane was moving, or how much distance separated them.
It’s a ball bearing from a triggered IED blast!
It is amazing how cameras always get all blurry whenever a UFO or a sasquatch is spotted nearby
Their cloaking system must have temporarily failed..
With all the high-tech imagery we have, how come the photos always come out blurry?
Blurry dots again.
