New UFO video, missle bounces off?

This is supposed to be a video of a US military hellfire missle bouncing off of a UFO as being tracked by a US Military drone.

and literally bounced off. And there was debris, looks like 3 pieces, that came off, but followed the UFO after the hit. And the UFO doesn't look like it's much larger than the missle was.

What is unclear is why they shot a hellfire missle at an unidentified object. Thats not something that happens on a whim. There’s more to this story.

An air-to-ground missile at that. That UFO must have been going pretty freaking slow.

Doesn’t even appear that the hellfire missile exploded on impact. More, like broke apart on impact.

And yeah,,, where and why was it decided to fire upon what was deemed an unknown objec?

I’ve seen towed targets used for missile track testing and it makes sense to me that if testing telemetry and tracking, the actual explosive is not needed. Just the weight of the ordinance to simulate a fully functional missle.

Was the speed of this ‘UFO’ published?

This is simply one UAV shooting another UAV filmed(radar) by a 3rd UAV.

Agreed. As Dixie noted, not a missile designed for air to air either. I saw a MSM article stating it was a “premier air defense missile”, gotta love MSM “experts”.

Most likely, this is a video of a test missile impacting a drone target.

FWIW, that guy giving testimony is George Knapp, a well-known promoter of UFO conspiracy theories

Oh good grief. How do those folks get an audience to be taken seriously?

May have been the low collateral damage knifed version of the hellfire which has no warhead, just expanding knives before impact.
