This week's top creature feature took place during the latest congressional UFO hearing in Washington when those in attendance viewed a military video taken off the coast of Yemen last year, showing a Hellfire missile attacking a UAP/UFO, where the detonated missile appeared to simply bounce off the object.
First, I'm not sure about the wisdom of firing on something unknown, but maybe there was more going on than we know.
Second, if this video didn't finally make a case for all of those reported incidents from at least World War II and going forward -- usually doubted by the skeptics -- of incidents where military pilots all but swore on their very lives that they KNOW they fired and made contact with things in the sky resulting in no apparent effect or damage whatsoever (except for cases where the pilots themselves were allegedly affected by intense heat sources after gaining on such objects), I don't know what will.
A close observation of this week's main video isn't required to note also that as the missile apparently hit its mark some smaller objects seem to have separated from the UFO -- which, unaffected, immediately followed the primary object as it soared along.
Reaching back to the early sixties, I fondly remember my file folders stuffed with letters from government officials and various authorities pretty much denying the very existence of UFOs. At least those days may meet a well-deserved end. We hope.
So what exactly was going on in that military video? Does established (or crazy) science have a clue? As we're all forced to bow to artificial intelligence, and risks to humans not yet imagined likely to accompany its progress, will AI make perfect sense out of the often nonsensical appearing UFO quagmire?
The video? https://nypost.com/2025/09/09/us-news/shocking-radar-footage-shows-hellfire-missile-fired-by-us-military-directly-hit-ufo-over-ocean/
I don't know what's going on, but I had a thought or two, ASSUMING this is a real video of a genuine unknown.. For instance, did the UFO have an ability to "read" everything about the missile before it even struck? Did the object have a quality wherein it knew everything about the missile just as it hit, allowing a fractional split-second response? A precognitive sense? Did it know what the drone's pilot was thinking? We're already familiar with instances where UFOs appear to have locked on to and/or comprehended real-time conventional aircraft instrumentation well in advance of evasive or confrontational action initiated by human pilots.
Mirrors. I wondered. A mirror reflects an image. Does the UFO possess some technological mirror, somehow reflecting externally or internally what it encounters at light speed, duplicating what it then knows in order to react accordingly and swiftly? I suppose this would require some kind of protective external layer of plasma or electricity or whatever on the UFO, but like most mirrors busted into pieces by a smashing blow there would still be support structures behind them.
Could a UFO mimic precisely one and all the things it encounters in the sky to protect its environment? If atoms and molecules and substances of which we are perhaps unaware can be manipulated so that something as elaborate as a guided missile can instantly be detected in terms of force, mass and exact effects, can the mysterious sky-born enigma conjure up a similar force to cancel out its destructive qualities? A mirror image of what exists, in essence, causing said missile to collide with a duplicate, a clone if you will, of itself in an intricately altered space-time continuum, causing damage primarily to the dispensed missile?
In the realm of the impossible, is it possible that the UFO's very structure is composed so differently from our own aircraft that the meeting of missile and object have little or nothing in common with one another? Are UFOs like M&M candies, protected by a hard, impervious shell to keep the contents blissfully unaware of external forces? Exactly what keeps the strange objects out of harm's way, no matter what we throw at them? Can they be here and not here at the same time?
Anyway, this would be something for the physicists to contemplate, aside from historians perhaps mulling over troublesome theories of whether the UFO phenomenon's bright and shiny objects account for the origin of favored religions on Earth.
Beware or entertain the theories of an aging crackpot, but let's continue bringing on the military videos and films! If little else at the moment, science has been confounded by the UFO/UAP, and some of its cherished tenets appear to have been turned upside-down. Are we ready for more, or shall the UFO phenomenon remain the smiling Cheshire cat of the skies?
