A Leaked Government Photo Shows ‘Motionless, Cube-Shaped’ UFO

The U.S. Intelligence Community has known about the mysterious object for two years. What could it be?

Leaked DoD Photo of Purported Unidentified Aerial Phenomena

Taken from the cockpit of an F/A-18 fighter jet, the photo is claimed to show unidentified aerial phenomena hovering over the ocean.

  • A leaked photo purportedly shows unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).
  • It's likely that an F/A-18 pilot captured the photo while flying above the Atlantic in 2018.
  • The photo is said to come from a 2018 report issued by the government's UAP task force—the official unit that replaces the Pentagon's secret UFO program.

An unclassified image that's reportedly been circulated among U.S. intelligence agencies shows what appears to be unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), the Pentagon's term for unidentified flying objects. The object in the photo has been described by U.S. officials as silver and "cube-shaped," according to a report from The Debrief, which first shared the image.

The leaked photo dates back to 2018, when it materialized in an intelligence report from the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), the Department of Defense's (DoD) official unit that investigates UAP sightings.

A military pilot reportedly encountered the object while flying over the Atlantic Ocean on the East Coast of the U.S. in 2018 and captured it with their personal cell phone. It's likely that a backseat weapons system operator on an F/A-18F Super Hornet took the photo of the object, which McMillan calls "inverted" and "bell-shaped," and describes it having "ridges or other protrusions along its lateral edges, extending toward its base."

Is the object a research balloon? Probably not, two defense officials tell McMillan. "Pilots who encountered the object described that, unlike a balloon under similar conditions, the object was completely motionless and seemingly unaffected by ambient air currents," he writes.

While they did not describe the photo as compelling, all three officials we spoke with seemed dismissive of the idea that it depicts a balloon. According to these sources, the photo would not have been issued if there were reasonable estimates that the object was a balloon, given the nature of the intelligence report in which it appeared.

The Debrief has not been able to speak with any of the pilots involved, in order to confirm the accounts described in the intelligence reports. In 2018, the Navy changed its guidelines concerning the reporting of unknown objects by military personnel, and the surfacing of this photograph seems to indicate that some aviators are coming forward with sighting reports.

As for other UAP-related events this year, in April, the U.S. Navy officially released three previously leaked videos taken by Navy pilots that indeed show UAP—but the service also said the footage should have never been released to the public in the first place.

The Pentagon released the videos in order to "clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real, or whether or not there is more to the videos," a spokesperson told Popular Mechanics at the time.

Weather Balloon or some instagram "star" sending an action figure into space.

Its easy for something to appear motionless when you're moving around it in a jet.

Is there not some A.I. program thing that can zoom in for us and reconstruct a low res image of it?

Edit- but seriously speaking if it is a weather balloon, there should be a picture of a weather balloon out there that looks EXACTLY like it.

Edit #2-

Also from the article

You can just bring your cellphone with you while cruising around in a fighter jet?

How would they know it's motionless? By looking at it for a few seconds out of the cockpit?

Ahhh, good old times were conspiracy theories were relatively harmless stuff. Likely a balloon, but at least its fun to speculate.

I understand skepticism, but the fact that you don't think U.S. military aviators, the most well trained pilots in the world know what a weather or research balloon would look like is disingenuous.
