Background
On April 16, 2016, aircrew operating an intelligence aircraft documented a strange spherical object hovering near Mosul. The MC-12 platform was gathering information over the contested Iraqi city when sensors captured the imagery. The object appeared metallic and circular, exhibiting no visible means of propulsion or conventional flight characteristics. Department of Defense personnel later classified these recordings, restricting access to authorized intelligence channels. The footage remained concealed from public scrutiny for nearly seven years until subsequent unauthorized disclosure.
