Video shown Tuesday during a House committee hearing on “unidentified anomalous phenomena” purported to show a missile being fired at an object, which a congressman called an “orb,” off the coast of Yemen in 2024.
The video was played at a Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets hearing that focused on “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” also known as UAP, which are unexplained objects seen in the sky.
Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., said that the video was taken on Oct. 30, 2024, and shows an unknown object being tracked by an MQ-9 drone, also known as a Reaper.
A second MQ-9 drone not seen in the video fired a Hellfire missile at the object, Burlison said.
The video appears to show a speeding image, apparently the missile, enter from the left of the screen and make contact with the object, which continues but deforms and tumbles, and smaller objects (one of them very faint) come off the back.
