Radar footage shows Hellfire missile fired by US Military bounce off UFO

"The footage was released during a congressional hearing on Tuesday about unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs.

It shows an MQ-9 Reaper drone tracking a glowing orb off the coast of Yemen before firing a Hellfire missile straight at it.

But instead of blowing the object to bits, the so-called “orb” appeared to shrug it off and keep flying.

The video was taken in October 2024, but has only just been released to the public. "

> But instead of blowing the object to bits

Air to air missiles don't always explode in a fireball like in Hollywood movies. Often it's more like a shotgun blast that peppers the target with holes and relatively minor damage that then causes mechanical failure. The Dutch safety board's analysis video of the shootdown of MH17 has great animations and forensic photos.

legacynl•1h ago
Also if you look at the video, there's obvious debris coming of either the missile or the craft. Furthermore the craft does seem to be affected.
ryanjshaw•1h ago
Aren’t they supposed to explode just prior to contact? I.e. they aren’t flying hammers? So was this missile not armed or what happened, it’s difficult for me to see on mobile.
trenchpilgrim•1h ago
It's not that simple. Some are designed to fly alongside the target and send a shrapnel ring blasting out. But the ballistics are a complex problem and they can sometimes physically impact the target in certain intercept geometries. You also may not be able to distinguish a direct hit from a shrapnel blast kill in a recording of a FLIR display from a distance, since the shrapnel may not show up well in the IR spectrum + the display is much lower resolution than the camera. (e.g. if you take a photo with a high end camera, but look at the photo on the LCD on the back of the camera, you won't see all the detail captured by the system.) Anecdotally I've heard that pilots can see their targets in far better detail using the debriefing tools after the flight than they can with the cockpit displays.

After asking around some military friends suggested to me this could be a training exercise with an inert warhead.

They've known there's aliens for years, they just have to boil us like frogs so they don't lose their power when we "find out"
WJW•1h ago
This premise fails right at the start. Why would "they" lose their power when people know about aliens? All the reasons why the current batch of political leaders are in power remain valid if aliens exist, whether they're democratically elected or authoritarian despots.

I see a video of a object being shot down, debree falling and cut to a earlier clip.

”Now its zoomed out”.

Looks like the usual dumb nonsense, enough to convince only the gullible.

Release the damn Epstein files!!!!

an interesting youtube comment:

"2:42 Check out the readout on the bottom right . One of the numbers is the target height above terrain - and after it's hit that goes down from 86 to 59 over about 6 seconds before the video cuts off. So after being hit the object isn't continuing on course, it's falling at an increasingly fast rate. The video was sent to Rep. Eric Burlison with no chain of custody and no context, and it's a video taken of a screen which crops out 80% of the analytical data along the edges of the screen, but that's the MOST IMPORTANT PART which would tell us the distance, speed, size, range, angle and other critical information for interpreting the video. This could be drone to drone intercept footage from a training mission, we just don't know at this point."

Also note that the article's title contains an error - this is not "radar footage, it's IR camera footage. Before assuming this is even an "orb" at all, check out this video on how these cameras work: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qsEjV8DdSbs

I'm no expert but my most likely bet is someone cropped IR footage of a drone intercept and sent it without context or SME interpretation to a congressman.

Another UFO video with questionable provenance is debunked by application of a tiny amount of logic? I am truly shocked.

Seriously though why is this on HN?

Interesting video and anlysis to learn how a gimbal camera tracks and records objects, but that doesn't really address any of the points as to what those objects (since there were several, observed first by radar operators before fighter jets were dispatched) may have been.
HeavyStorm•1h ago
If that was a missile, there's a non zero chance it failed to blow which would explain the footage as well.
trenchpilgrim•1h ago
Or it's equipped with a warhead that is designed to kill drones with shrapnel rather than a fireball.

A Hellfire is an air to ground missile, why would they be shooting it at a UFO? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-114_Hellfire
trenchpilgrim•1h ago
Hellfires are usable as air to air weapons against slow moving targets. Apaches have shot down slow flying aircraft with them.

https://www.navy.mil/Resources/Fact-Files/Display-FactFiles/... "It can also be used as an air-to-air weapon against helicopters or slow-moving fixed-wing aircraft."

llm_nerd•1h ago
It is deployed against slow moving air targets. Some variants are even radar guided.

This video, though, isn't remotely convincing. It looks like the hellfire deflects off a bog standard drone, yet doesn't detonate, which disassembles and the look-down video cuts before we see the actual consequences. The path of the object is basic inertia where a rolling object is falling to the ground but we're seeing top down so it's "maintaining course".

These UFO things are always sadly a lot of noise and astonishingly little substance. There are "kooks" -- people who have decompensated and no longer are rational -- in every large enough set, including the military. There are always terrible evidence like these videos, coupled with people giving their completely unsubstantiated crazy takes.

JshWright•1h ago
They are capable of hitting aerial targets as well. They have recently been deployed by the US Navy as a cheaper way to counter cheap aerial drones launched by Iranian proxies (~$100k Hellfire vs a ~$1m SM2).

Notice that they don’t ask the pilots who took the video to explain it. Sorry, but we can’t just assume the congressman knows what he’s talking about.
