Drone Missile Bounces Off UFO in Yemen Encounter, Congress Hears

Lead Video shown at a House Oversight Committee hearing yesterday revealed a U.S. Reaper drone firing a Hellfire missile at an unidentified object off Yemen’s coast, only for the missile to ricochet, fueling scrutiny over national security risks.

Nut Graf The startling footage-released by whistleblower testimony-underscores growing congressional concern about unidentified aerial phenomena and gaps in military understanding. Lawmakers are pressing the Pentagon for transparency on UAP capabilities and potential threats.

Missile Strikes at Sea A Hellfire missile launched from a U.S. Reaper drone struck a glowing orb hovering above international waters near Yemen.

  • The missile impacted the object but deflected, continuing on its trajectory.
  • A second Reaper drone provided a wider view, confirming the orb’s resistance to kinetic strike.

Experts Weigh In Former Pentagon intelligence officer Lou Alzando testified that a Hellfire strike typically obliterates conventional targets.

  • “When a Hellfire makes a hit, there’s usually not much left,” he said, questioning what kind of material could withstand such force.
  • Analysts speculate the object’s structure or advanced technology may have caused the missile to glance off.

Lawmakers Demand Answers Congressman Eric Burlesson, hearing the video, pressed defense officials on UAP classification and risk assessments.

  • The hearing follows a Pentagon report showing over 750 new UAP sightings in fiscal 2024, up from previous years.
  • Legislators are considering whistleblower protections and expanded UAP research to close intelligence gaps.

Rising UAP Reports Unidentified aerial phenomena continue to surge, with civilian and military encounters prompting broader inquiry.

  • House Oversight’s Task Force on Declassification plans further sessions this fall.

  • Pentagon and intelligence agencies face bipartisan pressure to declassify data and explain anomalous encounters.
