Unexplained footage has surfaced, showing an unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) traversing the sky just above a joint military base that houses US troops in Iraq.

The UAP was recorded and tracked by a thermal-capable surveillance device belong to the US military. The UAP was nicknamed the "jellyfish" due to it's appearance of having dangling appendages. The footage was recorded at night in October 2018, but was only recently made public after the clip was obtained by UFO researcher Jeremy Corbell.

Reportedly, the object eventually came to a halt over water, at which point it performed a controlled descent and fully submerged in the water. Approximately 17 minutes later, the object emerged from the water and then rapidly flew off.

According to the report, the object was not detectable by analog night vision devices (IR), and there was also some sort of jamming detected as the optical sensors could keep a lock on it. In the thermal, black-hot, footage it appears to have a neutral or even cool temp and doesn't emit any exhaust or clues as to its manner of propulsion.
