U.S. Cover up Continues as Missile Bounces off UFO

A.J. Pike

Washington, D.C. - A newly released video captured by a U.S. reaper drone clearly shows a Hellfire missile suddenly striking a UFO and then bouncing off the glowing orb somewhere off the coast of Yemen. The struck object remained perfectly intact and continued to move onward, raising questions about technology beyond known military capabilities.

The video, presented to a House Oversight hearing on what the military calls “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” (UAP or aka UFOs) by Rep. Eric Burlison, a Republican from Missouri, was provided by an unnamed whistleblower. When the video is slowed down, the missile can be clearly seen striking the UFO with a direct hit, then bouncing off the orb and continuing on its own path, with no noticeable damage to the UFO as it zips away unfazed by the encounter. 

The full footage showed an MQ-9 drone tracking a UFO and then another MQ-9 drone launching a Hellfire missile at it. The missile struck the orb, but instead of destroying it, the round appeared to “bounce right off.”

“We’ve never seen a Hellfire missile hit a target and bounce off,” said Luis Elizondo, former senior intelligence official with the Pentagon. “When a hellfire makes a strike on something solid, there’s usually not much left of whatever it’s hitting. It’s very, very destructive. But in the video, what seems to happen is that the missile is either redirected, or in some case, perhaps glances off the object and the object continues on its way.”

Details remain unclear, including what mission the drone was on, but at the time the U.S. military was conducting regular air strikes against Houthi targets in the area that posed a threat to the U.S. Navy and commercial vessels.

“That’s a Hellfire missile smacking into that UFO and it just bounced right off, and it kept going,” Las Vegas TV journalist George Knapp who was testifying before the Committee remarked. “There are servers where there’s a whole bank of these kinds of videos that Congress has not been allowed to see.”

A member of the Committee was Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla.  

“Are you aware of anything in the U.S. arsenal that can split a Hellfire missile like this…and do whatever blob thing it did, and keep going?” Rep. Luna asked two military officers who were testifying.

U.S. Air Force Veteran Jeffrey Nuccetelli, and U.S. Navy Senior Petty Officer Alexandro Wiggins, both replied that no U.S. technology was capable of surviving such a strike. 

The two were asked if the video frightened them and they both answered “yes.”

A recent government report revealed that it had received more than 750 new UAP sightings between May 2023 and June 2024, leaving lawmakers digging into the mystery and national security concerns posed by the unidentified objects.

In a subsequent appearance on the podcast, Joe Rogan Experience,  MAGA movement rising star Florida Republican Anna Paulina Luna told podcaster Joe Rogan that Congress has seen proof of “interdimensional beings.”

“I think that they can actually operate outside of the time and space we currently have… Based on the photos that I’ve seen, I’m very confident that there’s things out there that have not been created by mankind,” the Florida Congresswoman stated. “And that’s not something I came up with on my own. That’s based on photos and videos that we’ve seen. That’s based on information that we’ve been told.”  

Rep. Luna leads a task force working on the declassification of federal secrets, organized by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. She told Joe Rogan that during her time working as an airfield manager with the Portland International Guard, she met F-15 pilots who had likely encounters with UAPs.

She added that she has seen photographic and historical evidence, and that she has spoken to Air Force pilots who allege that UAP sightings are being covered up.

The Florida lawmaker criticized the intelligence community for allegedly withholding information on UAPs and similar matters.

“There’s definitely something I can tell you with confidence, that there are a number of incidents that we don’t know how to explain currently,” she told Rogan. “I think the U.S. has reversed-engineered technology to build crafts originally created by non-humans.”

The Congresswoman argued that there is a “protective complex” from authorities who think that Americans might not be able to handle the realities of what has been found.

“When you have thousands upon thousands of people throughout time that have reported something, to say that those people are crazy, to say that the whole concept of just asking the question may mean that you are not psychologically sound, that in itself is a disinformation campaign to get people to shut up about UFOs.

“We know the U.S. government has not exactly been clean in a lot of what they’ve done with the American people, specifically to the topic of UFOs” said Rep. Luna.

In July 2023, a House Oversight subcommittee held a hearing with three former military officials who said they think the government knows much more about UAPs than it’s letting on. 

Lawmakers have been pushing for more transparency and a safe reporting system for those encountering the UFO phenomena. There have been a number of congressional hearings on the issue. 

In November of 2024, subcommittees of the House Oversight Committee held a joint hearing entitled “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth.

The hearing came after the Pentagon issued a report in March 2024 stating that they had found no evidence of extraterrestrial spacecraft.
