TLDR: It was shot at Al-Taqaddum Air Base in Anbar province, Iraq.
Jeremy Corbell hasn’t said much about where the Jellyfish video was filmed, other than that it was at a joint base in Iraq. I saw interviews of Michael Cincoski in which he talks about being shown the video in 2018 when he was stationed at the base in Iraq where the footage was filmed. In the interview he states that it was filmed at a base in Anbar province that borders lake Habbinayah (presumably the body of water the UAP purportedly went trans-medium in). The only base that fits that description would be Al-Taqaddum Air Base.
Someone recently released a stabilized video of the Jellyfish footage where the details of the buildings were much easier to make out. https://www.tiktok.com/@ledrack.vfx/video/7322938777947704581?_r=1&_t=8j9c6b9q9c2 So I went hunting. I knew that to figure out the location of the buildings in the video, I would need to spot it from satellite images. So I started by watching the video, and creating a rough diagram of the layout of all the clearly visible buildings and landscape features… But I had to rotate them to an overhead aerial configuration like you’d get from a satellite…
Do I look crazy yet? I’ll look (slightly) less crazy in a minute, stay with me. The footage of the UAP translates from right to left. The numbers on the top correspond to the time (in seconds) when buildings with distinctive features come into frame… So then I took my insane scribbles and went to google earth. Rumor has it, the footage was shot in 2017, so I fused the retrospective images that most closely fit that timeline (one from 2016, and one from mid 2017). There was a lot of construction during that time. Some of the buildings didn’t exist yet in 2016, and other buildings shown in the footage had been bulldozed by the time the next photo was taken in 2017. All of the housing at the airbase is North of the air strip… and the lake is southwest of the airstrip. So, my working hypothesis was that the footage showed the UAP starting northwest of the airstrip and maintaining a trajectory toward the lake in the southwest. In interviews where people commented on the footage, people stated that it was filmed by a camera on an aerostat… And that’s what I found first.
So I knew I was close at this point. Zoomed in north of the air strip, making sure to say ENHANCE multiple times while doing so…
That’s the trajectory for the entire two-minute video. Time stamps correspond to the time (in seconds) when specific recognizable buildings are visible, with pins directly south of the building being shown at the stated time. Path is approximately .6 miles long, covered in two minutes, meaning an approximate average speed of 18 mph.
Here’s the coordinates for each of the timestamps if you want to check it out on Google Earth. Looking north from the coordinates, you’ll see the buildings from the video. Due to the construction, you’ll have to toggle between the images from 11/2016, 5/2017, and 2/2018 to find some of them.
Since Corbell claims the UAP submerges in a body of water in the unreleased footage, I wanted to check the distance from the last shown location to the lake. Corbell claims there are 17 minutes of footage, but only this two-minute clip has been released. That leaves 15 minutes. I wanted to see if it could plausibly travel the rest of the distance to the lake maintaining it’s approximate trajectory and speed. It’s 2.9 miles from the last observed position to the lake, and the UAP had an average speed of 18 mph. It would be able to make it to the lake going 11mph. So, that part is still plausible.
Here’s a few side by side screengrabs of google earth and the jellyfish footage with distinctive buildings/features notated in each image.
