WATCH: Did a UFO Really Get Hit by a Missile and Survive?

Gino Devaney,

If you feel like binge-watching “The X-Files” right now, it’s probably because you’ve seen this footage…

Congress shared a crazy video yesterday of a UFO supposedly taking a direct hit from a MISSILE and SURVIVING it.

It happened off the coast of Yemen on October 30th last year.  No one had seen it publicly until it was played at a whistleblower hearing yesterday morning.  The video is above. It happens at :19.

It shows some sort of object moving over the ocean, and it LOOKS like it’s going fast.  But it’s hard to tell with these videos because of something called “motion parallax.”  Basically, the drone that shot the footage WAS going fast.  And that can make far-away objects look like they’re going fast too.

But the part everyone’s freaking out about is it got hit by a U.S. “Hellfire” missile and didn’t explode. A lot of people, including some members of Congress think it’s proof aliens are here.

But could there be a simpler explanation that’s way less fun?

A guy named Mick West is kind of THE skeptic people turn to for these videos now.  And he’s not convinced it’s anything special.  He pointed out that whatever it was, it didn’t really survive “unscathed.”

You can see some debris from the impact.  And based on the amount of motion blur in the background, he thinks the UFO’s speed immediately fell to “near zero.”

His take is it was moving pretty slow from the start.  And even though it looks like it was near the water, it was actually over 10,000 feet up.  So when it seems to keeps flying after it’s hit, it’s really just falling out of the sky.

His best guess is it was a large BALLOON, maybe a spy balloon.  But a ton of people are still convinced it was little green men.

Here’s a video where Mick West breaks down what he thinks happened.  He points out that the missile they used isn’t really one that’s supposed to explode.  It’s used when they want to prevent wider damage, or disable an aircraft without fully destroying it.
