On September 10, 2025, Rep. Eric Burlison revealed never-before-seen footage during a House Oversight Committee hearing on UAP transparency. The video, recorded October 30, 2024, shows an MQ-9 Reaper drone tracking an orb off the coast of Yemen. Another MQ-9 fires a Hellfire missile—yet the object appears to survive, drifting with fragments. Lawmakers and panelists reacted with concern, urging further research and accountability from the government.
