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?

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