Are we alone in the universe? It’s a
question that’s kept humanity up at night for centuries. Are the glowing lights in
our skies just unexplainable anomalies, or a sign of life elsewhere in our galaxy?
Today, we’re looking at a jaw-dropping selection of footage recorded by
soldiers and civilians in Iraq. The footage you’re about to see will shock you,
astound you, and perhaps even open your mind to the possibility of intelligent life beyond our
stars. We’ll show you the videos one by one, saving the most shocking and exciting for last,
so stick around if you want your mind blown. Before we begin, we have just one more
question: Are you ready to believe? The first video of one of these shocking
alien encounters comes from 2009, and claims to be footage captured by the Night
Vision goggles of Iraqi soldiers out on patrol. Because it was filmed in night vision, the
footage is not completely clear, washed in bright green. However, some mysterious groups of
lights can clearly be seen flying through the air. The first grouping could be a plane, possibly,
but it is soon followed by a large, bright orb of light that flies through the sky, not following
a discernible flight pattern. This light does not look to be of organic origin, and it is
far too large to be the result of a plane. What is it? No one can be certain, but we can be
sure that it is weird and difficult to explain. Could the only real explanation
be extraterrestrial in nature? That’s up to you. But now, let’s take it up
a notch, to an even crazier piece of footage. The next mind-blowing Iraqi UFO video comes
from 2014, and appears to be shot out of some sort of moving vehicle. Though the footage is
a little blurry, and the camera is shaking, there is a definite flying object that can be
seen. At first it looks tiny and indistinct, little more than a black dot in the
sky. As the vehicle follows it, however, and as the cameraman is able to zoom in
on it, its shape becomes much clearer. It is oblong, almost oval-shaped, and does
not look like any kind of normal aircraft. If it is of human construction, could it
be some kind of classified military vehicle the public doesn’t even know about? It’s
enough to drive you crazy with curiosity. The most unusual thing about it, however, is how
it appears to move. It is not just flying through the sky, but changing in shape as it does so. It
appears to fold in half slightly at some points, straighten out at others, and even seems to
widen in shape all while it is being observed. Now this could be some kind of weather
balloon, but it certainly does not look like one. The people filming the
video also seem suspicious of it, speaking excitedly behind the camera as they
follow and film the bizarre flying object. They continue filming it until it fades
out of sight, leaving no trace behind. And if you think that’s fantastical, and
you’re already crafting a new tinfoil hat, just you wait. The craziest is yet to come… The next video has been subject
to a great amount of debate, and has reported on various news sites as well as
reposted to multiple YouTube channels. It claims to show a mysterious force attacking what may
be the Taliban, or possibly an ISIS base. This information all depends on who you ask. But the
images depicted in the video speak for themselves. In the video, we see the side of a tank, facing an
open sky. Unlike our previous video, this sighting occurs in broad daylight, with little room for
the possible alien craft to hide. In the sky, a triangular object can be seen flying over the
trees. The low image quality makes it difficult to determine, but it bears a slight resemblance
to the traditional image of the flying saucer. As the craft draws closer to the camera,
a flashing light flickers from its side, as if blasts are being fired. Soon after, areas
of the ground begin exploding into clouds of dust, as if the craft is firing on something - or
someone. The explosions continue, growing larger and more drastic, with massive smoke
clouds billowing up from the earth. Somewhere in the clouds of smoke, the craft disappears
until the camera is able to locate it again, flying off into the distance. Though the camera
work is shaky, the shape of the craft becomes clearer. It has a rounded top and bottom, like
a traditional flying saucer, but its middle is shaped like a flat triangle, with a pointed front
and two wings branching out. It is unclear what the craft was attacking, or if it was alien in
nature, but the footage is certainly convincing. As we make our way to the most shocking – and
most convincing – video of UFO activity in Iraq, we arrive at our next piece of
evidence of UFO encounters in Iraq. On the Iran/Iraq border in April of 2012,
mysterious lights began to appear in the sky. Of course, many UFO stories involve
mysterious lights in the sky, so what makes this one different? The
difference here is that, unlike previous cases where bright lights appear alongside
stars and satellites in the dark night sky, these lights appear to be manifesting in
the middle of the day. The lights are round and bright white, resembling the “orbs” that
often appear in supposed ghost photography. But these lights are not just staying put in
the image, implying possible errors with the film or flares on the camera lens. These lights
move around throughout the landscape, back and forth between blue sky and clouds with ease. Their
shapes never change except when the lights fade completely from view. There appear to be at least
four of them in total, possibly more, and they move throughout the sky, slowly and steadily. The
orbs of light do not move erratically, the way one might expect if they were simply reflections
of some kind or even errors in the footage, but instead move on distinct flight paths back and
forth. It almost suggests a kind of intelligence… It seems very unusual that these lights
would appear on the border of two nations, particularly Iran and Iraq, and it is hard
not to see their appearance as significant. Are they alien in nature? Perhaps the sign of
a cloaked spacecraft? Or perhaps they are some kind of alien communication method? Whatever
they may be, this type of strange light is not unheard of in UFO encounters. Just last year,
some similar orb-shaped lights appeared off the Outer Banks in North Carolina, USA. The lights
were present for over a minute and a half, and convinced many observers that there was something
unusual going on, possibly alien in nature. The lights are still subject to debate, but this
footage from the border is not the only time that mysterious orbs of light have been linked
to UFOs, and it will likely not be the last. Finally, let’s get to the thing you’ve
been waiting for. The most shocking piece of UFO video to come out of Iraq.
This video, released on YouTube in 2008, has over 1.2 million views for a reason. A group
of United States Marines on January 2, 2008, spotting something very unusual while on patrol
in Iraq. The video footage that they took is completely unlike any other famous UFO footage.
The footage is tinted green, likely filmed with night vision technology of some kind. While there
are no obvious spacecrafts visual in the footage, there is something else that viewers
might find disconcerting, even spooky. Coming down from the clouds, there
are clearly visible beams of light. These beams of light are incredibly
bright, showing up vividly on camera, and appear to be streaming directly down
from something that is hidden in the clouds, up in the sky. The Marines can be heard
talking in the background of the footage, and they are clearly as thrown off by what they
are seeing as any of us watching their video might be. One voice can be heard saying “man, that’s
weird,” as others clamor to get a better look at these unusual beams of light. Another voice says,
“dude, look at it,” as someone else inquires “have you ever seen that?” Yet another Marine chimes
in and remarks, “they’re all over the place.” And truly they appear to be all over the
place, scattered across the visible horizon. One man questions if the light has to do
with the way that the stars are shining, but is quickly dismissed by his peers.
There is one clear bright beam of light, the “main one” as one of the Marines refers to
it, emitting the brightest light. None of the men filming the phenomenon are able to determine what
it could possibly be. While this video may not seem as visually impressive as some of the other
UFO footage coming out of Iraq, it is some of the only footage that has been officially verified
and reposted by dozens of different accounts. It is also one of the most likely to be completely
authentic, and to not have been tampered with in any way. The men filming sound genuinely
confused, even shocked by what they are seeing, and the bright lights look natural, if strange
and clearly inorganic, in their surroundings. It is hard to look at those beams, which so
clearly are coming from something in the clouds, and not assume that aliens are somehow involved.
After all, the image of a beam of light coming down from the sky is incredibly common in
stories of UFO sightings and of alien abductions. In Paris, France, in 2017 a similar phenomenon
occurred, with a cigar-shaped UFO emitting beams of bright light from time to time, projecting
from the craft down onto the earth. There were sightings of the same object, or a similar object,
in China in 2010, and in Australia in 2014. Some light beams have been explained
away as appearances of aurora verticalis, or the “crystal beam phenomenon,” a natural
phenomenon that occurs when light is reflected by a large number of ice crystals in the
atmosphere or clouds. This is possible, but the footage from Iraq does not quite resemble
the images that can be found of aurora verticalis, particularly because the beams of light in the
footage seem to be more solid, where aurora verticalis looks more diffused, and even seem
to move, or flicker on and off. This activity does not seem to line up with the description
of the natural phenomenon of aurora verticalis, though it would be a convenient explanation
for skeptics looking to disprove the footage – or government agents
trying to cover the whole thing up. This footage is hardly the first time that United
States military officers have encountered UFOs. Just this year, the Pentagon declassified
several pieces of video, taken by Navy pilots, that depicted encounters with UFOs. The videos
had been online for years, but were unconfirmed by any official channels until April of 2020,
when the Pentagon finally admitted that at least these specific pieces of footage were legitimate.
They did not confirm that the footage was evidence of alien life, but at the very least the existence
of these UFOs depicted on film has been confirmed. If that footage was confirmed to be accurate, then
who is to say that this footage isn’t as well? Whatever the case may be, there is certainly a
great deal of potential video evidence to suggest that there are UFOs in Iraq, and there may be
more out there waiting to be caught on camera. If you want more videos like this, check
