A dramatic new video shown in Congress has reignited questions about UFOs after it appeared to capture a U.S. military strike on an unidentified object that survived the impact.
During a recent Congressional hearing on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), Representative Eric Burlison presented previously unseen footage recorded on October 30, 2024. The video, verified by ABC News, shows a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone firing a Hellfire missile at a glowing, fast-moving object above the waters off Yemen. Despite a direct hit, the object continued its path unaffected.
Congress Shaken by Unexplained Encounter
“I’m not going to explain it to you, you’ll see exactly what it does,” Burlison told his colleagues as the clip played. The missile strike was visible, yet the mysterious object appeared immune to the blast, raising alarms about the limits of U.S. defense technology.
The hearing was part of an ongoing push to increase transparency around UAP encounters. Lawmakers have pressed military and intelligence officials to share more evidence with the public and address possible national security implications.
Testimonies Add to the Mystery
The session also featured testimony from former U.S. Air Force personnel. Dylan Borland described a 2012 encounter near Langley Air Force Base involving a massive, silent triangular craft with a molten-metal-like surface. He reported that electronics in the area failed during the sighting, a detail consistent with other UAP reports.
Such testimonies, combined with new video evidence, have fueled growing calls for a formal investigation into how these phenomena might impact global security.
Transparency Push from Task Force
The head of the UAP Task Force said the purpose of the hearing was to provide openness to the American public and address concerns that the government has long withheld key evidence. As BBC News reported, the new disclosures are being treated as a turning point in how Washington handles UAP matters.
For decades, reports of UFOs have been dismissed or downplayed, but Congress now faces increasing pressure from both former military officials and the public to confront the unexplained. Whether the Yemen incident signals a new phase of global security concerns remains an open question.
