“That is the Hellfire missile smacking into that UFO and simply (bouncing) proper off,” he stated, commenting on the video. “And it stored going.”
“It stored going,” Burlison agreed, “and it seems just like the particles was taken with it.”

AARO analysts later decided that the video had captured an optical phantasm involving a climate balloon and that the excessive charge of velocity captured by the sensors aboard a Navy F/A-18 fighter jet was attributable to parallax and the angle from at which the digicam seen the article.
AARO officers have stated beforehand that among the older incidents stay unexplained as a result of there was not sufficient information gathered by high-tech navy sensors on the time.
