On Tuesday morning, Capitol Hill was rocked by the release of a never-before-seen military surveillance video showing what appears to be a glowing orb, an Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), shrugging off a U.S. Hellfire missile like it was a paper airplane.
The 100-pound air-to-ground missile literally bounced off the craft, barely leaving an impact, before the UAP shot away at impossible speeds.
The shocking footage, captured by an MQ-9 Reaper drone off the coast of Yemen on October 30, 2024, was unveiled by Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) during the latest congressional hearing on UAPs.
