UFO sighting or just three orbs? US military drone video resurfaces showing mysterious glowing objects in triangular formation

Movies across the world have only made us more curious about parallel universes and the possibility of aliens living on neighbouring planets.

There have been many instances on social media of UFO sightings being claimed, especially when top-notch military authorities catch them on tape.




Recently, glowing tri-orb footage from 2012 has resurfaced on social media. Captured by a US Air Force Reaper drone, it has gone viral and sparked conversations about the truth behind UAPs.

Three glowing, unusual orbs or alien tech?

On August 23, 2012, just after 6 PM local time, an MQ-9 Reaper drone’s infrared sensors captured a one-minute clip over the Persian Gulf, according to a UNILAD report. Three bright lights zipped along in a crisp triangular setup, holding steady like pros - no drift, no wobble. One orb briefly lagged, then surged ahead to reform the group.

The US Department of Defense tagged it UAP, Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, not plain old UFO. It landed in a special archive for “non-human” stuff, ruling out birds or balloons.



Jeremy Corbell, who talked about it on WEAPONIZED, the podcast with George Knapp on January 30 this year, called it “playful.”

“These objects appear to be aware and intelligent of one another, and they're keeping equidistant as they fly. But all of a sudden you see one make this playful little move as if it drops back in the formation and then comes forward again,” Corbell said on the podcast.

So, was it just some drone or something more ominous?

George Knapp said on his podcast, “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.”

What makes it even more mysterious is that the podcast duo spotted “five observables,” like sudden speed jumps that leave human tech in the dust, no booms, and no hot trails. Knapp added, “That's clearly not one craft with three points of light on the corners.”

Other similar drone footage

UAP clips like this are similar to the Pentagon releases from 2020, where pilots gawked at high-speed unknowns. AARO’s site tracks such cases, but many remain baffling.
