Congress just saw something that should terrify every American. A video from our own military shows a Hellfire missile bouncing off a mysterious object like a rubber ball. Our most powerful weapons just got embarrassed by something we cannot identify.
The shocking footage was revealed yesterday during a House hearing by Missouri Republican Eric Burlison. The video shows one of our MQ-9 Reaper drones tracking a glowing orb off the coast of Yemen last October. Another drone fired a Hellfire missile straight at this thing.
What happened next defies everything we know about American military might. The missile hit the target dead on but bounced right off like it hit a brick wall. The mysterious object just kept flying like nothing happened.
Let that sink in for a moment. A Hellfire missile costs taxpayers over 100,000 dollars and can destroy a tank. It hits with enough force to level a building. Yet this orb treated our best weapon like a toy.
Former Pentagon intelligence officer Lue Elizondo told Congress he has never seen anything survive a Hellfire strike. When these missiles hit something solid, there is usually nothing left. But this object made our military look weak and helpless.
The video came from a brave whistleblower who risked everything to show Americans the truth. For too long, our government has hidden these encounters from the people who pay for our military. We deserve to know what our forces are really facing out there.
This happened during real combat operations against Iranian-backed Houthis who threaten our ships. Our enemies might have technology that makes our weapons useless. That puts every American soldier and sailor at risk.
The Pentagon refuses to comment on this bombshell revelation. They want to keep hiding the truth while our military encounters things that laugh at our firepower. Americans deserve leaders who will demand answers instead of covering up threats to our national security.
