Iraq frequently appears in military reports of objects and lights observed during missions, sometimes captured by sensors and surveillance systems. Such documentation may show movement or shape but doesn't always allow for a definitive identification of the object or the cause of the sighting.
Public interest, among other things, focuses on a 2018 thermographic video dubbed 'the Jellyfish UFO.' On this page, you'll find reports, videos, and articles about sightings in Iraq; the claims and interpretations presented within them are not, in themselves, proof of an extraordinary origin.

Common questions about Iraq
What is 'the Jellyfish UFO' in Iraq?
This is the nickname given to a thermographic recording of an unidentified object over a US military base in Iraq, from 2018. The nickname describes the object's appearance in the video and does not determine its origin.
Has the object in the Jellyfish video been identified?
According to the information on this page, the video shows a jellyfish-shaped object but does not definitively identify it. Interpretations published regarding its origin are claims, not proof of the object's identity.
Are there military reports of UFOs in Iraq?
Yes. This page features military reports of lights, anomalies, and objects observed during missions, including through sensor and surveillance systems. In some reported cases, what was observed could not be determined.
What can be learned from military documentation of an aerial phenomenon?
Documentation can provide information about the phenomenon's appearance or movement, but it doesn't always allow for determining distance, altitude, or identity. Therefore, it's important to distinguish between what is seen in an image and the explanations offered for it.
