The enigma surrounding unidentified flying objects (UFOs) continues as a new video, labeled the “jellyfish” UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon), captured over a U.S. operations base in Iraq, has stirred interest among UFO enthusiasts. Jeremy Corbell, a well-known UFO enthusiast, officially named the mysterious object as “the jellyfish” UAP and shared the raw footage of the October 2018 sighting on his YouTube channel.
In the video, the jellyfish-like object can be seen flying over a military base at a steady speed, moving consistently in one direction. According to Corbell, the footage was taken over the Persian Gulf at night, although the specific date and time remain undisclosed. The peculiar UAP was observed traversing a sensitive military installation and eventually submerging in a body of water. Astonishingly, after approximately 17 minutes, the UAP reemerged from the water and accelerated at a speed seemingly beyond the capabilities of conventional technology.
Corbell took to X (formerly Twitter) to share insights, noting that the UAP exhibited “transmedium capability,” indicating its ability to navigate through different environments. The origin, intent, and capabilities of this anomalous aerial vehicle remain shrouded in mystery.
One notable feature of the jellyfish UAP is its display of positive lift without conventional aerodynamic means. Corbell highlighted the absence of typical signatures associated with propulsion maneuvers during the sighting.
In addition to the jellyfish UAP, Corbell also reported another sighting, this time featuring an object termed “the ‘Chandelier’ UAP.” Sharing a still from a video, he revealed that this vehicle of unknown origin was captured over the Persian Gulf using thermographic technology. The ‘Chandelier’ UAP was described as lacking conventional flight control surfaces.
For those intrigued by these sightings, Corbell mentioned that more information is available in his three-part “UFO REVOLUTION” docuseries, accessible for free on Tubi.
The term “UAP” stands for “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” a phrase adopted by NASA to describe observations of the sky that cannot be identified as aircraft or known natural phenomena. Previously referred to as “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAP), the change in nomenclature occurred in December 2022. NASA initiated a study in October 2022 to analyze UAP data, with a report on findings expected in mid-2023. The study aims to understand the nature and origins of UAP, employ scientific analysis techniques, assess risks to the National Air Space, and enhance air traffic management data acquisition systems.
While declassified information about UFOs can be accessed on the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office website, the public currently lacks a mechanism to report sightings to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). A new bipartisan House bill, introduced by Rep. Robert Garcia (D-California) and Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wisconsin), seeks to establish a reporting mechanism for commercial airline pilots to report UAP sightings. The proposed legislation aims to involve FAA air traffic controllers, flight attendants, maintenance workers, dispatchers, and airlines in the reporting process.
Rep. Garcia emphasized the importance of UAP transparency for national security and described the bill as a significant step toward disclosure and establishing a safe reporting process for civilian and commercial personnel. The ongoing efforts to understand and document UAP sightings underscore the increasing interest and scrutiny surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena.
