Investigative journalists have uncovered US military footage of a cylindrical-shaped flight over Iraq – which has now been dubbed the 'Baghdad Phantom'.
Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp shared the images, taken from an active conflict zone in Baghdad by the US Air Force using a Reaper drone in May 2022, in an episode of their Weaponised podcast.
The images were allegedly leaked by frustrated USAF members who believe UFO incidents are being 'buried' by the military.

In the clip, they claim the slim object has been officially designated as a UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) by the Air Force.
However, it is not yet part of the active United States UAP investigations but the Department of Defense’s AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office) is apparently aware of it.
In the podcast, which has gained more than 17,000 views, Jeremy Corbell said: "Right now, our government, they've officially labelled it UAP but it hasn't gone to the right places."
He went on to explain the images, adding: "This is a very skinny object compared to it's length. If you look in the top left, you will see this is filmed in white hot – which means that the background is hotter than the image.
"By the way, I can confirm with 100%, that this object flew under controlled flight with intelligent control, across the screen from left to right."
To which, George Knapp replied: "Kind of looks like a torpedo or a rocket."
However, Jeremy Corbell insisted that it was "not a torpedo because it's over land" and argued that "you would see if this was a rocket" too.
Corbell claims the video was interesting because the object "does not show the traditional signatures of what you'd see for reactionary propulsion."

Though he said it does have a "propulsion system that is undefined by us."
But while he was certain about what it wasn't – he couldn't say what it actually was for sure.
"I don't know what this is – it is a UFO," he continued.
The Pentagon are yet to confirm or deny the authenticity of the images.
