Footage showing a UFO-like object is going viral on social media, reigniting curiosity about parallel universes. The recently surfaced video is from 2012 and it shows glowing tri-orbs moving over the Persian Gulf. As per a report by the New York Post, the videos are leaked footage recorded by the US military purportedly showing UFO-like objects operating over the Middle East.
According to the reports, the US Department of War and the intelligence community officially designated the flying objects to be Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), and kept it under the “non-human” category.
The video captured in 2012 shows three lights or orbs in a triangular formation. The video was taken by an MQ-9 Reaper drone’s infrared sensors.
The one-minute clip showing mysterious glowing objects was released recently by reporters and prominent UFO researchers George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell, NYP reported.
George Knapp spoke about the footage on his podcast and said, “This is a military-recorded, sensor-generated image of what looks like a triangular UFO, like one big triangular craft with dots on each of the three ends. And clearly, you watch this, and that’s not what it is.”
The objects demonstrate abrupt changes of direction and the thermographic Forward Looking Infrared Radar (FLIR) detected no heat or other signatures that mark traditional propulsion systems, according to the Knapp and Corbell report in Weaponized.
