Jeremy Corbell's latest UFO is even dumber than most.
Shot over Afghanistan in 2020, this alleged "disk" might look impressively unexplainable — until someone explains it.

For those who may not be familiar, Jeremy Corbell is a yoga and martial arts instructor who co-hosts a podcast called Weaponized, in which they aggressively promote alien visitation and demand “disclosure” from the government. They make no attempt to explain any of the UFO videos they promote — which is good, because they almost certainly wouldn’t be any good at it.
He’s one of the “SMURFs” (Small Group of UFO Religious Fanatics) who have been driving the whole UFO narrative in pop culture these past few years, and persuading the true believers in Congress to hold hearings publicly interviewing their friends, calling them “whistleblowers”.
Over the past month or so Corbell made a number of media appearances to tout the latest video. Because he has a reputation as a prominent promoter of UFOs, he seems to get a lot of them first — people seek him out and give him their videos. He always blitzes @JeremyCorbell onto the videos before showing them publicly. (I’m not sure how the owners of these videos feel about that, but that’s another story.)
Here is one of his appearances, and you can see the video. It’s a thermal image taken from an aircraft:
To Corbell’s credit, he freely confesses that the video as shown has been enhanced using AI — which, strictly speaking, means it has been fictionalized using software to add elements not present in the original to make it look more impressive. Turns out there’s a pretty good reason he did that — more on that below.
From the data visible on the screen, we know that this was shot near Asmar, Afghanistan on November 11, 2020, at 3:43pm local time. It was captured by a WESCAM MX-series multi-sensor device. 89 different countries use versions of these on all sorts of aircraft and other assets, but a reasonable bet is that it was an MX-20 mounted on a US MQ-9 remotely piloted aircraft.
But the key that positively identifies the circular shape in the image (to every reasonable degree of certainty) is the direction the aircraft was traveling and the direction the camera was pointing. All this takes a solid 5-10 minutes worth of work to figure out, so it’s why Corbell has no clue.
