PR061 "Spherical UAP" - was online years before the Government released it
I think I found proof that at least some of the newly released U.S. government UAP videos were circulating online years before the official release. Recently, the U.S. government added new UFO/UAP videos to their official archive: https://www.war.gov/ufo In Wave 2 (5/22/2026 - Release) there is this video: "DOW-UAP-PR061, Spherical UAP [CALLSIGN] 2021/04/12 vid 0" Official page: DOW-UAP-PR061, "Spherical UAP" The moment I saw it, I immediately recognized it. I’ve been collecting UFO/UAP videos for years from Reddit, Twitter/X, YouTube, podcasts, archive links, etc., and I was almost certain I already had this exact footage saved on one of my HDDs. So I dug through my archive and I was right. I found the same video saved on my drive with a creation date of August 3rd, 2023, almost 3 years before the government officially released it. I havce saved the video in folder named: "2021 - Iraq - leaked on Twitter by UFO podcast" Inside were 3 files: Original low-quality video (356x214) Looks like someone recorded a monitor playing the original footage Contains some sensor/telemetry data that appears censored in the official government release Enhanced/upscaled version 1920x1080 version of the same clip (with UAPodcast850 watermark) JPG frame map A stitched image combining frames from the video into one large terrain overview/map showing the object's movement path What’s interesting is that this strongly suggests PR061 had already leaked privately or semi-publicly years before the official release. I’m uploading above files to Google Drive for the community to analyze and archive: 2021 - Spherical UAP, Iraq Also, I noticed people mentioning that the government released several directly related videos alongside PR061: PR060 PR062 PR063 You can find them here: Related videos I’d really like to hear the community’s thoughts on this. Questions: Does anyone else remember seeing this footage years ago? Could the censored telemetry data reveal more context? I'm not native English speaker so I used ai to check the wording/spelling - pls don't judge. submitted by /u/Fragmey [link] [comments]
