U.S. Air Force

Pretty overmuch everything successful nan United States that tin spell wrong, is going wrong. We've we've sewage unchecked climate change, we've sewage trade war, travel connected down and get your manmade horrors beyond your comprehension today. But nan folks successful DC don't want you to ruminate connected specified things, they're concerned astir your accent levels, truthful they've alternatively recovered a caller group of keys to jingle successful beforehand of our faces: UFO footage, specifically a caller clip that purports to show an unidentified flying orb deflecting a rocket from a Reaper drone. 

The footage, shown by Missouri typical Eric Burlison successful a Congressional hearing, was purportedly taken by an MQ9 Reaper drone complete nan oversea disconnected nan seashore of Yemen. It shows a vaguely spherical object, which is past deed by a rocket fired from different Reaper. Burlison seems stunned astir speechless by nan object's continued activity aft being deed by nan missile, which raises a number of questions astir nan object, nan business surrounding nan rocket launch, and Burlison himself. 

First off, let's talk astir what we tin intelligibly spot successful nan video. Lots of group are saying this UFO "deflected" the missile, though it's beautiful evident successful nan clip that nan rocket hits. The entity appears to break isolated aft nan rocket hit, aft which constituent its continued mobility whitethorn good beryllium nan consequence of momentum. This brings america to nan mobility astir Burlison: Did he expect this entity to beryllium vaporized? To frost successful midair? What action connected nan object's part wouldn't be suspicious here?

The much important question, though, is why nan United States subject fired a rocket astatine an entity that is, definitionally, unidentified. They didn't needfully person to bust retired Operation Welcome Wagon, but an unidentified flying entity tin beryllium immoderate airborne entity of chartless provenance — it could beryllium a bird, a plane, David Corenswet. Without discourse for nan video, we person nary thought why this entity was deemed fresh for destruction. Even if it was aliens, do we want that to beryllium nan first belief we give?
