BBC: UFO hit by hellfire, no impact on vehicle & flying away

A UFO hit by a hellfire rocket, showed in UFO hearing in house

Shameful that BBC covers this, and not a patriotic American news organization.
Computer0•5mo ago
Your comment made me laugh, but I genuinely didn't know this was happening today. Keen to see what comes out of it when the dust settles in a week.
_wire_•5mo ago
UFO should be a word of the century. It's meaning conveys absolute ideological certainty about something no one as any idea about.

(Congress stares at blurry grey pictures with no obvious point of view and no discernible objects)

- What is it?

- It's unidentified.

- Supplemental military appropriations approved! (Gavel bangs)

ta12653421•5mo ago
Regardless what it is finally, I doubt there are many drone recordings of some missile hitting an whatever-object and then jumping off in the opposite direction?

(Even if its just maybe-US-high-tech, its somehow strange to see this happen)

UFO - unidentified flying object
marshray•5mo ago
I find it very suspicious that the telemetry indicators are cropped. Typically when the military release drone footage, they are blurred.

After the object tumbles, an effect transition has been added. You can tell because it overlays the "Pause (Ctrl+P)" control and how blooms outside the cropped video frame. This strongly suggests that it's not actually a continuous time shot.

Perhaps:

- This video is of an ordinary cruise missile or drone.

- Its surface is very hot, making it appear as a blob.

- The so-called hellfire doesn't detonate for whatever reason

- The object tumbles and crashes, but the video is deceptively spliced.

I don't trust this Representative to not lie knowingly or evaluate such claims skeptically. Statements like "I'm not going to explain it to you, you'll see exactly what it does" and "This is when it's zoomed out, you can still see it traveling" seem to be careful wording meant to lead people to a conclusion without actually claiming it.

>Statements like "I'm not going to explain it to you, you'll see exactly what it does" and "This is when it's zoomed out, you can still see it traveling" seem to be careful wording meant to lead people to a conclusion without actually claiming it.

Also saying "orb" which further mystifies it, that's just a visual translation of the gear tracking it.

After getting "hit", there seem to be what looks like three drones still flying, sort of like those ultra fast racing drones: https://youtu.be/EtRXay2kqtc Even their movement is similar. They could have carried some sort of mesh, and could be some kind of missile deflecting tech test or whatever. Or maybe a 4th drone is still attached to that mesh and keeps dragging it along.

Insisting on the UFO angle, along with the rest of the wording they use seems they want to strongly suggest the viewer comes at particular conclusions without actually saying it.

justinclift•5mo ago
Is there actually a video on the page? I'm just seeing a BBC placeholder logo image where there would generally be a video.

This generation of ufo psyop is so lame. Was more fun in the 90s with Art.
arcane23•5mo ago
UFOs came a long way in the last 70 years or so. Started with saucer shaped crafts that housed biological aliens to drone like crafts. Can't wait to see how their tech advances in the next 20 years.
krapp•5mo ago
You're more correct than you think. Before the saucers, it was "phantom rockets" and "phantom airships" and sky boats.

For some reason (which can't possibly just be that it's just folklore) UFOs always seem to manifest as whatever the current culture considers to be "futuristic."

yencabulator•4mo ago
And before that it was spooky owls and magic animals.
