Alleged Mosul military UAP footage: nothing so far confirms its authenticity
According to a Brazilian UFO news site, new infrared footage has surfaced that allegedly leaked from a U.S. military surveillance system and is connected to the case of the Mosul "orb." However, nothing so far supports the claim that the video actually comes from a military source, or that any expert has examined it.
For years, a murky story has been circulating online and in expert circles about a spherical object recorded over Mosul, allegedly detected by advanced military sensors. According to an article by UFO.com.br, a newly surfaced video has now given the story fresh momentum: the footage allegedly comes from a U.S. ISR platform (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) and includes infrared frames that have been attached to the earlier "Mosul orb" material.
The article claims that the appearance of the footage has reignited the debate about unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) and the limitations of military sensors. However, it does not specify who published the video and when, how it became public, or whether it comes from an official military source at all or is perhaps a secondhand copy.
What do we know, and what don't we?
What can be stated with certainty: UFO.com.br reported the appearance of infrared footage that is being linked to the earlier story of the Mosul orb. What cannot: the article does not name a single expert, institution or official body that has examined the origin or authenticity of the footage. There is no mention of a date, no specific attribution of sources, and nothing about the Pentagon or any other U.S. authority having responded to the matter.
Based on this much information, the authenticity of the footage can be neither confirmed nor refuted. The fact that material "leaked" from a military sensor is not, in itself, evidence of anything, since authenticating footage of such origin would generally require identifying the source, examining the metadata, or at least an official confirmation. None of these appears in the report.
So for now, the story of the Mosul orb stands where most similar military UAP stories that surface on social media do: there is an alleged piece of footage, there is a catchy name, but there is no verifiable documentation behind it. Until that changes, the story generates more questions than answers.
The sober take
The source does not present any independent expert examination, metadata analysis or official confirmation of the footage's origin, so at present it can be claimed neither that the video is genuine military material nor that it is a fake or misinterpreted footage.
