A DRONE was seen off the coast of Yemen and spotted an unidentified object, according to never-before-seen footage.
The object was hit by a missile and later caught fire and exploded.

The wild footage was released during a congressional hearing on Tuesday, September 9, about unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs.
The video shows an MQ-9 Reaper drone tracking an alleged glowing orb off the coast of Yemen before firing a Hellfire missile straight at it.
But instead of blowing the object to bits, the so-called “orb” appeared to shrug it off and keep flying.
The video was taken in October 2024, but has only just been released to the public.
Representative Eric Burlison called it “startling evidence,” per News Nation.
“A Reaper drone fired a Hellfire missile at this thing. And the missile didn’t seem to have any effect,” he said during the hearing.
Burlison then turned his questions toward George Knapp, a witness in the hearing and a journalist whose work has largely focused on UFOs, to ask for his point of view.
“I have heard about events like this. I have heard about this event,” Knapp said of the Yemen video.
“There are servers where there is a whole bank of these kinds of videos that Congress has not been allowed to see, that the public hasn’t been allowed to see,” Knapp said.
“Occasionally, some of that stuff gets out in the wild and it comes our way, but it should be going to you. The public should be seeing this stuff, and why you’re not allowed to, I don’t know.
“But that’s a Hellfire missile smacking into that UFO and just bounce right off, and it kept going.”
He concluded his statement by saying simply, “What the hell is that?”
UFO SIGHTINGS
The new footage comes as US Air Force veteran Dylan Borland gave his testimony on a separate experience he had with a UFO during the same hearing.
The whistleblower claimed he was outside Langley Air Force Base in Virginia back in 2012 when a mysterious white light suddenly appeared in the night sky.
The Rendlesham Forest incident: Britain’s most famous UFO sighting
The Rendlesham Forest incident took place in December 1980 over a series of at least two nights.
On December 26, 1980, military personnel at the twin bases of RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk saw a strange light in Rendlesham Forest, which lies between the two bases.
Three men were sent out to investigate where two of them encountered a small, triangularshaped craft.
One man, Jim Penniston, got close enough to touch the side of the object.
He and another of the airmen present, John Burroughs, made sketches of the craft for witness statements.
Two nights later Deputy Base Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt and his team then encountered the UFO.
He said later: “Here I am, a senior official who routinely denies this sort of thing and diligently works to debunk them, and I’m involved in the middle of something I can’t explain.”
Despite an MOD investigation the Rendlesham Forest incident remains unexplained.
“At first I thought it was just a hot air balloon,” he said.
“Then the light started moving across the base and that’s when everything changed.”
In sworn testimony, the veteran described a colossal 100 foot triangular craft hovering silently above him.
The bizarre black object was “one to two stories thick,” with sharp 90-degree edges and lights glowing at each corner, plus a blinding, larger orb at its center.
Even more terrifying, he said, was the shimmering effect across the UFO’s surface.
“It was like molten gold, lava, plasma — some kind of liquid flowing over the craft,” he recalled.

“I was under it for two to three minutes. Then the center light flashed two or three times and — bang — it shot thousands of feet straight up without a sound.”
The encounter left Borland reeling.
He also told lawmakers that his phone overheated and died during the incident.
“My whole body was covered in static electricity,” he said. “And I smelled that strong storm scent, like after lightning in the summer.”
But the nightmare didn’t end there.
After this sighting, Borland claimed in his testimony that his career was sabotaged, and he became the target of shadowy phishing attempts.
“If this gets buried again, behind closed doors, it’s going to get really ugly,” Borland said.
UAP HEARINGS
The never-before-seen clip was played during a Congressional UAP hearing where lawmakers demanded answers on what the US government really knows about UFOs.
The hearings are part of a growing push to hold the Pentagon accountable after years of secrecy.
In November 2024, whistleblowers stunned Washington with claims that Navy ships were stalked by intelligently controlled UFOs and that the mystery crafts defied the laws of physics.
Earlier this year, the US intelligence chief said extraterrestrial life “cannot be ruled out” and warned that the unexplained objects in US skies demand serious investigation.
