Drone video of missile fired at UAP bouncing off..

How did you calculate that?

Height (elevation) comes in feet not miles .. anything in miles would be something else.

The only data visible in the zoomed out footage is in nautical miles (NM). As I said, they are likely range to targets, hence the TGT designation above them, and in the same corner of the screen (lower right) as your picture's "RNG" (range), which is in both miles (M) and nautical miles (NM).

So knowing that weather balloons continuously ascend to between 90,000 ft and 120,000 ft and then explode, how does this qualify as being a weather balloon at all?

Parallax included .. if a windblown balloon moves ahead of a fixed wing aircraft the the aircraft has a serious problem .. you don't see this in the vid .. towards the end?

My guess is this either a target practice on a balloon filmed from a helicopter .. OR .. maybe we're seeing it because the balloon behaved so unusually .. or it's a UAP.

I'm not sure whether the white spots above the sea are surf or clouds .. anyone with any idea?

If you could read, you'd know I never claimed this was a "weather balloon."

The video literally says it's video from a MQ-9 drone (fixed-wing Reaper). 9_9
I've already explained the parallax: https://www.scivillage.com/thread-18755-...l#pid75895

LOL And there we go with Syne abandoning his argument in the last resort. You couldn't argue your way out of a paper bag..

To quote your own post:

"A weather balloon can reach a stable, "float" altitude by using a super-pressure balloon design, which maintains a constant volume and can stay at high altitudes for extended periods, or a zero-pressure balloon that vents gas to regulate its altitude and prevent bursting."

Again, if you could only read worth a damn, you'd know that that was just refuting your claim that all balloons simply go up until they burst.
But keep flailing and desperately trying to save your beloved UAPs. Every bullshit straw man like this just further damages your credibility, such as it is.

That's what weather balloons do. All of them. And you trying to argue otherwise is the same as saying it was a weather balloon. Which I totally proved wrong. So go slither back into your cesspool. You lost again.
