Congress Probes UFO Missile Deflection Off Yemen Coast

In 2024, the U.S. government received over 750 new reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), prompting Congressional hearings focused on transparency and national security concerns. Task Force Chairwoman Anna Paulina Luna emphasized the need to protect military whistleblowers who report UAP encounters, highlighting fears among pilots about career repercussions and calling for greater government accountability. A key piece of evidence presented was a video showing a U.S. military drone attempting to shoot down a spherical UAP off the coast of Yemen, which appeared to sustain damage but continued moving after being hit by a Hellfire missile. This footage, shared by Rep. Eric Burlison, sparked debate over the nature of the object and the military's response, with questions raised about the rationale for firing on unidentified objects without clear context. The hearings aim to restore public trust by pushing for declassification and increased disclosure of UAP information amid ongoing speculation about their origin and implications for U.S. airspace security. These developments reflect growing Congressional and public interest in addressing longstanding secrecy surrounding UAP encounters.
