A mysterious orb shrugged off a direct hit from America’s most lethal Hellfire missile, exposing a shocking vulnerability in our military arsenal.
Story Highlights
- U.S. Hellfire missile struck UAP off Yemen but failed to damage the mysterious orb
- Expert testimony confirmed no known American technology could survive such a strike
- Video footage revealed publicly for first time at House Oversight hearing
- Incident occurred in active combat zone where military routinely engages threats
Congressional Bombshell Exposes Military’s Technological Limits
Rep. Eric Burlison stunned lawmakers during a House Oversight subcommittee hearing when he presented classified video footage showing a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone firing a Hellfire missile at an unidentified aerial phenomenon off Yemen’s coast. The October 30, 2024 incident captured something unprecedented: an object absorbing America’s most sophisticated anti-armor weapon without sustaining any visible damage or altering its flight path.
Expert witnesses Nuccetelli and Wiggins testified under oath that no existing U.S. technology possesses the capability to withstand a direct Hellfire missile strike. This testimony raises disturbing questions about potential adversaries possessing defensive capabilities that far exceed American military expectations. The missile, designed to penetrate heavy armor and destroy hardened targets, appeared completely ineffective against the mysterious spherical object.
NEW VIDEO:
Today, at a congressional hearing on UAP's, a video was shown of an MQ-9 that was tracking an "orb" off the coast of Yemen.
A second MQ-9 fired a Hellfire missile at it. It shows a direct hit on a egg shaped UFO and has zero effect on it.

Combat Zone Encounter Challenges National Defense Assumptions
The engagement occurred in waters off Yemen, where U.S. forces maintain heightened readiness against Houthi militant threats and protect vital shipping lanes. Military personnel operating in this active combat zone routinely engage hostile drones and missiles using advanced munitions, including APKWS II rockets and Hellfire missiles. The fact that standard military protocols were followed lends operational credibility to the extraordinary footage.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna pressed witnesses about whether any technology in America’s arsenal could demonstrate similar resilience, asking pointedly about objects capable of “splitting” a Hellfire missile strike. The unanimous expert response confirmed this capability exists nowhere within known U.S. defensive or offensive systems, highlighting a potentially dangerous gap in military intelligence and threat assessment protocols.

Transparency Battle Reveals Hidden Government Footage
Journalist George Knapp testified that government servers contain extensive collections of similar UAP videos that Congress has been systematically denied access to review. This revelation suggests the Yemen incident represents just one example of encounters between U.S. military forces and technologically superior objects. The deliberate withholding of such footage from elected oversight officials raises serious constitutional concerns about executive branch accountability.
The September 2025 hearing marked the first public release of video evidence showing direct military engagement with a UAP demonstrating apparent invulnerability to conventional weapons. Congressional pressure for complete transparency continues mounting as lawmakers demand full disclosure of all similar encounters and comprehensive briefings on the implications for national security and defense planning.
