Description
In October 2017, an infrared sensor on a force protection aerostat near Al Taqaddum Air Base, Iraq, captured 17 minutes of footage of an unidentified object.
AARO reviewed it and concluded it was “a cluster of partially and fully inflated balloons.”
Apparently, the Middle East just really loves balloons.
