Drone video of missile fired at UAP bouncing off..

[stryder]

Any "drone" hit by a missile would definitely go down. This UAP was unphased and kept flying at the same speed unhindered. It was also described as a sphere, which jibes with all the other sphere sightings reported by the AARO.

There are drones that can have spheres caged around them which could act as a ballistic guard if built specifically for it. If fitted with the right LED's it could potentially blind cameras to what it is, or even create a fake IR output.


A commercial version of a drone in a sphere is a proven concept.

"A never-before-seen video released Tuesday by a member of Congress appears to show a U.S. military Hellfire missile bouncing off a bright, shiny object that was being tracked off the coast of Yemen on Oct. 30, 2024.

The video was released at a House Government Oversight subcommittee hearing into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), which is the military's term for UFOs.

During the hearing Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.) played a video that he said "I've been given" and that he claimed was taken by an MQ-9 Reaper drone.

The video had to have come, whether directly or indirectly, from military sources.

The overhead video showed a fast-moving object moving in a straight line above the waves in the waters off the coast of Yemen and captured what Burlison said was a Hellfire missile fired by another Reaper drone that appeared to strike the object."

It certainly appears to be moving along at a fast pace. Though it's hard to accurately judge motion from a video like this, taken from a drone that's moving as well. Parallax and all that.

I'm inclined to suspect parallax because when the missile hits the object, fragments are visible that appear to continue moving along with the object. It would make more sense (to me anyway) that the object and the fragments weren't rapidly moving, but just appear to be.

"I'm not going to explain it to you, you'll see exactly what it does," said Burlison as the video clip was played."

What struck me most in this video was the Congressman's remark that "staff" have the power to control what members of Congress can and can't see and what can and can't be included in proposed legislation. I wouldn't be surprised at all that "staff" also control what the President can and can't see as well.

Which certainly is consistent with all of the conspiracy theories about an unelected secret government embedded inside the publicly visible one that actually controls things. (Remember, not all conspiracy theories are false, some conspiracies do exist.) That in turn would be consistent with some of the more outlandish theories about crashed alien vehicles in super-secret facilities somewhere.

I'm not saying that I believe that, I'm just saying that this Congressman's remarks are consistent with it.

I think that we all know that the testimony about secret servers full of UFO video are true. We know for a fact that military pilots have submitted many videos that immediately receive a top-secret classification. They must be stored somewhere. And we know that even members of Congress are denied access to these videos. (Who has the power to decide that? Where do they get that power?)

Yeah, motion parallax was my first impression. Since we know the Reaper drone had to be in motion, at the very least, some of the motion seen is due to the camera being in motion.

Which certainly is consistent with all of the conspiracy theories about an unelected secret government embedded inside the publicly visible one that actually controls things. (Remember, not all conspiracy theories are false, some conspiracies do exist.)

Conspiracies are true, when there's evidence of them existing. Conspiracy theories, on the other hand, are only theories because there is no evidence.
In these cases, it depends on your subjective standard of evidence.

Uh no..I'm pretty sure this wasn't a Skyball or that any such things are flying around over the ocean and getting shot at with missiles by our military. lol

To test this technology for operational use, an observation campaign was conducted over the northern Pacific Ocean to collect data on the formation of atmospheric rivers. Sixty-five WindBorne balloons were launched throughout the course of the trial from two launch sites established in Seoul, South Korea and in Maui, Hawai’i.

"for a total of 282 days of flight time, more than 11,500 vertical kilometers of profiles"

This UAP was not flying high in the atmosphere at all, which is where these balloons rise to. And here's the thing about the old weather balloon canard of skeptics---they always have equipment hanging from them called radiosondes. Which has a very distinctive visible profile. See below. No mere spheres speeding around horizontally at sea level.

I didn't say it was one of those particular balloons, and the footage does show a dark spot on one end that could be instrumentation. The video obviously doesn't show a simple sphere. It is obviously an elongated shape... but we know how bad your eyesight is.

[Magical Realist]

Nope...it's spherical. With no radiosonde while speeding horizontally at sea level. Hence not a weather balloon, as if the military wouldn't know a weather balloon when they see one.

[Syne]

Yep, bad eyesight.

[Yazata]

It looked oval or elliptical to me. Interestingly, the longer axis didn't appear directed in the line of (apparent?) motion. When the missile struck it, it seemed to lose its elliptical shape and became more irregular, which might be consistent with it having been a deflating balloon.

While this video is certainly interesting, it doesn't entirely convince me.
