"UFO vs Hellfire missile. Uh oh." Topic

link

I admit I have no idea what could be going on here. It's not a lens artifact, it's moving at considerable speed, there's no wake or disturbance in the water below (as would appear with a line attached to a flying object). However, the Hellfire did manage to strike it, and it does appear to disrupt the object's shape and flight direction… but what's going on?

I still suspect these are secret military tests by the US of new drone flight tech about which none of the observers were or are as yet informed. But what that tech is or how it works, I haven't got a clue.

I don't think these are tests by foreign adversaries. If it had such things (working well or not), Russia would be throwing them against Ukraine; Putin simply doesn't have the restraint to not use unproven tech (like his hypersonic missiles, which demonstrate no ability to actually strike an intentional target. They appear to be less precisely "guided" than a V-1.) So they're not Russian.
Similarly, I don't think they're Chinese, on some of the same principles. Their leaders like to "show off" too. And so, ready or not, they display weapons that won't work and ships that won't float. Oops.

So that leaves little else. Aside from the secret under-ocean Atlanteans who any day now are going to fly into New York City and demand free hot dogs, hold the mayo.

I agree it isn't the Russians. They have a hard time just keeping ships afloat and can't even defeat a third rate power.

"The inhabitants of the third planet have now developed weapons that are capable of contacting and damaging our probes. We therefore recommend immediate implementation of the interdiction protocol: Isolate them entirely from interstellar society until they either destroy themselves or become civilized."

-Report from the damaged probe's mother ship's intelligence officer and captain.

Perhaps it is time to consult H G Wells and prepare our biological weapons. He has been right before. 🤔

How come the Hellfire didn't explode?

"How come the Hellfire didn't explode?"

Obviously their superior technology disabled the warhead. Does no one watch Star Trek or watch SF movies? 😉

Is the Hellfire simply designed to explode on impact? Will they explode on a glancing strike?
Could it have been a dummy warhead? Or the "Ginsu" blade type? I can see these as possibly "bouncing" off a target, especially on a glancing hit.

There's no question *something* happened to the UAP/UFO. It looked like it enlarged into an uneven shape, rotated, released 3 smaller UAPs that matched its speed and direction of travel, with no apparent loss of speed.

Possibility: This is footage of an attack test of the missile against a towed aerial target made of fabric. The target is towed by an aircraft not in view of the camera. The strike of the missile tore the fabric to produce the 3 smaller fragments that remained attached to the tow line. The target was too soft to trigger a warhead, or the warhead was a dummy.
It wound up in the UAP files because the plane which saw it was either not part of the test, or was not informed about any details as to what was to happen on the flight.

I would not be surprised by an official acknowledgment of extra-terrestrial contact within what remains of my lifetime. I get the sense that we are being conditioned to this reality so that we will not collectively flip-out when we are told the truth. I consider myself as being pretty level-headed, however, it is impossible for me to believe that we are the only intelligent life in the Universe.

Will they explode on a glancing strike?

Most ATGM have a graze-strike capability. Even if the warhead can't penetrate the blast can cause some damage, especially to the crew (morale and physical injury from the blast, and the missile can't continue on, out of control, to perhaps damage friendlies). Never played with the Hellfire so can't be sure, though.

Well if nothing else, maybe the Hellfire knocked their shields down by %50. If we had just had a "Bird-of-Prey" available .

I thought it interesting that during the congressional hearing on this, the four guys sitting at the table were asked. "Do you know of any technology that we possess that allows us to build and operate vehicles like this, and of any technology that allows us to deflect missiles like this?"

3 of the 4 said "NO. Absolutely not."

The 4th guy said "I'd prefer to answer that question in a SCIF location congresswoman."

Makes you wonder indeed.

Yeah, that last one ain't a "Yes" but it certainly is not a "No."

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if some of this is a hint to adversaries: "You know this ain't you, and you know we know it ain't you. So now your question is whether this is something we can do that you don't know about. You might want to give that a good, long, think before you do something stupid."

Putin, of course, won't listen. But Xi— yeah… it's the sort of thing that might make him worry.

It looks to me like the missile didn't bounce off as much as be deflected in its path. My supposition is the object was some form of balloon, the missile flew through it causing the balloon to break into various fragments, and the missile became deflected while moving through the balloon and any superstructure it may have contained or been attached. The apparent speed of the object was due to parallax (see final analysis of the "Go Fast" object as given in the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) website).

It looks like a "Foo Fighter" to me. They were reported numerous times in WW2.

"The way they moved—darting at impossible speeds, seeming intelligent control, making sharp turns, and even vanishing into thin air—didn't match any human technology at the time. Some pilots even felt that the Foo Fighters exhibited a kind of intelligence, as if they were deliberately following, mimicking and observing the planes."

My question is why are we shooting at that thing in the first place? Was it heading towards a U.S. ship?

Anybody know the dud rate on the Hellfire?

Reports kept coming in. The objects flew alongside aircraft at 200 mph; they were red, or orange, or green; they appeared singly or with as many as 10 others in formation; and they often out-maneuvered the airplanes they were chasing. They never showed up on radar. November 1944, a Bristol Beaufighter crew.

This sort of UFO have been seen visually and through IR, but never RADAR. Just wondering if this is still true, RADARs abilities have grown, so if cannot be picked up by RADAR it must be pure energy or lightning ball.

"Well if nothing else, maybe the Hellfire knocked their shields down by %50."

The UFO crew was reported to have been very angry that their craft's paint got scratched… ;-)

The US Gov't and other Gov'ts in the world know more about UFOs/UAPs than they are willing to admit. It mostly very classified, compartmentalized, and on a need-to-know basis.

Now what information is … we may probably never know in our lifetime.

There is a lot of evidence of UFOs/UAPs being real. What they actually are is unknow or again very classified.

With the size of our Galaxy let alone the Universe. The existence of alien life forms is very high. To say they couldn't travel the distances based on our knowledge of physics … is short sighted …

And our Gov't has used the UFO cover story before to cover up classified aircraft, etc. That does not mean that all UFOs are gov't aircraft. They'd be the minority.

There is something out there …

Legion 4 should have been on "The X-files".

I think gamertom is probably correct, at least on this one.

Legion 4 should have been on "The X-files".

Hmmmm … Maybe … 🤔😏😎

Regardless more & more of the USA's Top scientists, etc. are saying UFOs/UAPs needs to be studied in depth. Based on military reports and all the other evidence that there is … something "unusual" going.

Or some gov'ts may have the answers … but for whatever reasons all of that if it exists remains classified.

But I do think dismissing this phenomenon outright would not be prudent …

FWIW – The Hellfire has a HEAT warhead. Dal +1

The Hellfire has a HEAT warhead.

Thanks, mate. I knew that, I just don't know whether it's graze-fused or not. Most of them are, these days. ATGM have come a long way since ENTAC*.

*ENTAC- an ATG[supposedly]M designed (by peace protestors?) to slightly cut the target vehicle driver's throat with the control wires, while completely missing the target vehicle itself, even while said vehicle is stationary…….

Yep
Saw the video
So many questions
