The Yemen Orb and UAP Hearing: Is This a Communist Chinese Super-Weapon? By Charles Taylor and Chris Knight (Florida)

In the swirling vortex of modern conspiracies and government secrecy, few stories ignite the imagination like unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP, the Pentagon's sanitised term for UFOs). On September 9, 2025, during a House Oversight subcommittee hearing titled "Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection," Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) dropped a bombshell: declassified footage from October 30, 2024, showing a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone firing a Hellfire missile at a glowing orb off Yemen's coast, only for the projectile to seemingly bounce off, leaving the object unscathed as it accelerated away at impossible speeds. Accompanied by sworn testimony from three military whistle-blowers alleging decades of suppression, destruction of records, and retaliation, this event isn't fringe fodder, it's documented congressional record, covered by major outlets from ABC to Fox News. After a thorough internet deep dive, scouring news archives, official transcripts, X posts, and whistle-blower statements, the verdict is clear: this story is true … well at least documented. And if the implications hold, humanity (or at least the U.S.) is staring down a technological abyss that could redefine security, if real.

The hearing, chaired by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), was the third in as many years, signalling bipartisan frustration with the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), established in 2022 to probe UAPs but accused of stonewalling Congress. Burlison, who obtained the video anonymously (likely from a whistle-blower), played it live: Infrared footage from an MQ-9 Reaper shows a bright, orb-shaped anomaly cruising over the ocean. A second Reaper buddy-lases the target, and a 100-pound Hellfire AGM-114 missile launches, striking dead-on, only to ricochet or fizzle without detonation. The orb wobbles briefly, then rights itself and bolts at speeds defying aerodynamics, no sonic boom, no visible propulsion.

Sceptics might cry "hoax" or "drone glitch," but multiple sources corroborate: The video's metadata aligns with October 30, 2024, amid U.S. operations against Houthi threats in Yemen. On-screen text like "LRD LASE DES," indicates laser designation between drones, a standard tactic. Burlison posted it on X post-hearing: "Greenlight given to engage, missile appears to be ineffective against the target. This is not science fiction." X erupted with clips, analyses, and reactions, from aviation experts noting the Reapers' new anti-drone role to ufologists hailing it as "checkmate" evidence of superiority. No credible debunkings have surfaced; even the Pentagon's tepid response, "no evidence of extra-terrestrials," avoids dismissing the footage outright.

This isn't isolated. It echoes the 2004 Nimitz "Tic-Tac" encounters and 2015 East Coast incursions, but the Yemen clip is unprecedented: direct engagement with a non-responsive object, captured in real-time military IR.

The hearing's gravity amplified with testimony from three veterans, each under oath, detailing personal brushes with the unknown, and the system's backlash.

Jeffrey Nuccetelli, a 16-year Air Force vet and military police officer, called the Yemen video "exceptional evidence" of tech beyond human ken. He alleged the Air Force destroys UAP reports every three years to evade FOIA, a "deliberate obfuscation" he's witnessed firsthand. Nuccetelli described "triangle ships, glowing cubes, and Tic-Tacs" defying physics, including a "Red Square" UAP over a missile site. His written statement to the committee is public, matching hearing transcripts.

Dylan Borland, former Air Force geospatial intel specialist, went public for the first time, claiming a 2012 sighting of a 100-foot triangular craft at Langley AFB "ruined" his career. Post-report, he faced blacklisting, phishing by intel ops, and medical retaliation, classic silencing tactics. Borland's testimony: The craft interfered with his phone, then vanished, echoing electronic warfare signatures no adversary deploys.

Alexandro Wiggins, active-duty Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer with 23 years, recounted a February 2023 USS Jackson incident: Four "Tic-Tacs" rose from the Pacific, formed up, and accelerated without props, exhaust, or sound, "instantaneous movement." Radar data convinced sceptical colleagues: "Like checkmate." He testified in uniform, emphasising national security risks if reports are quashed.

These aren't anonymous trolls; their statements are archived on oversight.house.gov, corroborated by journalists like George Knapp, who quipped: "That's a Hellfire missile smacking into that UFO, and bouncing right off." Patterns emerge: Destroyed docs (Nuccetelli), retaliation (Borland), and ignored threats (Wiggins).

This hearing isn't a one-off. It's the culmination of decades, from Roswell (1947) to AARO's evasive reports, where even presidents and Congress get stonewalled. Luna slammed the "pattern of intimidation," arguing silenced observers blind national security. Bipartisan bills loom: Mandating disclosures, whistle-blower shields, and secure reporting, potentially forcing the veil off by 2026.

X chatter buzzes with alarm: Aviation Intel's Tyler Rogoway notes Reapers' shift to air intercepts, while ufologists like Chrissy Newton break down the footage frame-by-frame. No fakes here, just raw, unfiltered reaction.

The footage, testimonies, and hearing are verifiable, not vapourware. But here's the rub, if this orb shrugs off a Hellfire (designed to vapourize tanks), what does it mean?

1.Adversarial Tech Gap: If Chinese/Russian, we're outmatched, hypersonic, resilient drones could blind sensors or swarm carriers undetected. Yemen's Houthis? Unlikely; their arsenal is crude.

2.Non-Human Intelligence: No known physics explains it, anti-gravity? Energy shields? Vets like Nuccetelli say it's "beyond capability."

3.Secrecy Backlash: Decades of cover-ups erode trust — whistle-blowers ruined, data torched. As Luna warns: "If we don't demand answers now, we may never get them." Psyops? Possible, but the pattern screams systemic fear of the unknown.

We're in trouble because vulnerability compounds: Airspace breaches go unchecked, tech leaps unshared, public faith crumbles. If non-human, contact protocols are nil; if foreign, deterrence fails. Legislation might pry open the black box, but resistance ("dug in," per aides) hints at deeper stakes.

Professor X at another post at the Alor.org blog today refutes the ball lightening hypothesis, which when we first heard of all this, was our response. So, assuming no natural phenomenon, this seems to be intelligent tech, or all fake. It could indicate extra-terrestrial observation, but really, a super-intelligent species would have got all the data it wants on humanity by just as first few probes/vehicles. Our guess is that these things, if real, are communist Chinese in origin, indicating a massive technological advance upon the West. The West went woke; the communist Chinese went high tech. And, we are in deep trouble.

The best option is that all of this material, and sworn testimonies are fake, done for public diversion, as if there are not enough diversions.
